Erik Spoelstra is no stranger to the NBA record books.
Though he wouldn’t like to talk about it, the 50-year-old head coach has created quite the resume for himself over the course of 13 seasons.
And now it’s time to add another accolade.
With the HEAT defeating the Pistons on MLK Day, Coach Spo earned his 657th career win (including playoffs) and passed Phil Jackson for the sixth-most wins by a head coach with a single franchise in NBA history.
While Spoelstra leapfrogged Jackson, that was from the Zen Master’s stint with the Bulls. Next up on the list are Red Holzman with the Knicks (667), Jackson with the Lakers (728), Red Auerbach with the Celtics (885), Jerry Sloan with the Jazz (1,223) and Gregg Popovich with the Spurs (1,455 and counting).
