Gregg Popovich has been around for generations — literally
Everyone by now probably knows that Gregg Popovich has been around for a long time. He joined the NBA as far back as 1988, when he was an assistant coach under Larry Brown, but even discarding those days he is currently the longest tenured head coach, having taken over the position for the Spurs in 1997. That’s long enough ago that he’s even starting to see new generations coming in.
That’s something that didn’t escape the mind of Grizzlies forward Jaren Jackson Jr, posted a throwback photo of Pop talking to his father, Jaren Sr. Sr. played for the Spurs from 1997 through 2001 and was part of the 1999 championship team.
