Greg Popovič je ispisao istoriju NBA lige – postao je trener sa najviše pobjeda u najjačem košarkaškom takmičenju na svijetu.
Njegov San Antonio savladao je Toronto 104:102, pa je Popovič došao do cifre od 1.336 trijumfa.
Nadmašio je rekord legendarnog Dona Nelsona, koji je tokom trenerske karijere imao pobjedu manje.
– Ovo je uspjeh svih ljudi koji su radili sa mnom, ne samo jednog individualca. Košarka je timski sport. Kao trener govorim igračima šta da rade, učim ih i to je bio slučaj cijelog mog života sa divnim igračima i ostalim trenerima, uz podršku ovog predivnog grada. Navijači su nas podržavali šta god da je u pitanju. Svi dijelimo rekord. Nije moj. Naš je – rekao je Popovič.
On je 26 godina trener San Antonija sa kojim je pet puta bio šampion NBA lige.
