In the wake of legendary head coach Gregg Popovich's departure, the Spurs put their unrivaled trust in a household coach that they believe can fill his shoes. In his first full season as head coach, Mitch Johnson is ready to prove his doubters wrong. And yes, there are some very strong doubters.
In particular, well-known NBA analyst Kevin O'Connor shared a backhanded diss at Johnson in a recent tweet. In response to a post regarding current Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr's impending free agency, O'Connor added that the Spurs should be first in line to go after the Hall-of-Fame-caliber leader.
