Pop stepping down as Head Coach of Spurs

[harveycmd]

He's a damn communist.

[harveycmd]

I don't think there's eve been a "man" who made so much money on the free market and then complained about others making money. Obviously he's not a real man. He's a pansy. Why does he care that people make money? We can't take this nonsense.

[harveycmd]

I'm thinking Saban is worse than Satan.

[harveycmd]

I literally can't believe this. The man is rich beyond belief, but he thinks the guys who made him rich should have to shut up and be limited by some illegal executive order? Send this man straight to purgatory. Who does he think he is? I guess he thinks he's a god.

[harveycmd]

All former Alabama players need to reject Saban, Man clearly  doesn't give a damn about how hard they worked. He thinks he deserved 10 mil while they deserved nothing. He literally lied to the Dolphins and then took the Alabama job. Then he complains about NIL? Who believes this crap? Idiots, that who.

TIm Duncan made Pop a great coach. After Tim retired, he wasn't special. Also, I don't appreciate any sports figure inserting their personal political opinions into the game. That's one reason I enjoy sports...to get away from the political commentary...regardless of tribe.

Time, Tony and Manu....

Being an asshole would be coming to this thread and immediately turning it into politics instead of congratulating a top 5 all time nba coach.

Well… despite some posters who don’t approve of Pop’s politics… it seems almost every player and coach who worked with him holds Pops in very high regard.

Gregg Popovich's record with the San Antonio Spurs without Tim Duncan was 294-323 (.476 winning percentage). This record includes 8 seasons with the Spurs, 5 losing seasons, and 2 first-round playoff exits.

Popovich waited about ten years too late to retire. 

On Jokic: Gerry talked about him being a great player. There's no question he plays great. He wouldn't have started as a 4 or 5 in the NBA twenty-five years ago because he wouldn't have been able to defend the post in the pre-zone era. He wouldn't have been anything close to the offensive player or rebounder he is now because he would have literally been muscled constantly off the ball, keeping him from getting the position he wanted. This is a prime example of why attendance and market share are down in the NBA.

I could care less about Pops. Once he inserted his political views into sports, he can go GFY.

Yet here you are clicking on a thread about him, choosing to hit reply, and typing up this sentence. It's safe to say you care.

Another twist of fate here is that the term "xenophobia" is etymologically contradictory. Xenophon, the famous figure from Classical Greece, whose name means "stranger," wasn't a person who feared or otherwise avoided strange things. That doesn't mean he embraced it for its own sake either. As a student of Socrates, Xenophon was a "stranger" in the world of human social and political needs. Like his teacher, he had none. He was free in the sense that Socrates taught him to live beyond the constraints of time, place, culture, etc. That's what made him a "stranger." This is actually one of the dreams of the Enlightenment. Prior to the Enlightenment, attaining such a hyperborean point was considered to be a principle that could not be applied along egalitarian lines because of innate differences in individual intellect. 

The misunderstood and open minded always seem to be vilified, mostly due to ignorance and the unwillingness to explore and accept strange phenomenon into society.

But your view or opinion on him...should matter?

When the team is constructed around a major piece that's missing, generally they will struggle to maintain consistency. Watching the games will tell you more than a stat can.a

See how they avoided your comment, right?

If they stop NIL... the kids are going to quit.... and the 💩 will hit the fan. Let Tuberville and Saban keep meeting with that orange idiot... college football will die... just like everything else he touches. Tuberville is trash.. sub human and Saban is an old fashioned slave owner... period.
