Erik Spoelstra is climbing the NBA’s elite status as a head coach. Although many have doubted him along the way (hello Dan Dakich), Spoelstra is proving that he is something special.
Spo becomes just the sixth NBA head coach to have won 600 games with a single franchise joining this list:
Popovich with the Spurs (1,308)
Jerry Sloan with Utah (1,127)
Red Auerbach with Boston (795)
Red Holzman with New York (613)
Phil Jackson with the Los Angeles Lakers (610)
Maybe it was a little fitting that Spo joins this group by beating Popovich, who leads the pack.
