The magic number for Gregg Popovich is 26

That puts him 22 regular season wins from tying Lenny Wilkins, twenty-five from tying Don Nelson, and twenty-six from owning the honors as the winningest regular season coach in NBA history.
You may have noticed the duplication of the phrase “regular season” above, and that’s because when all games are accumulated (including postseason), Pop has been at the top since April of 2019.
