Pop Wins Game No. 1000

Long time and defending NBA Champion San Antonio Spurs coach Greg Popovich won his 1000th NBA game last night.  The low-key coach took it in stride.  ESPN reports that the wine connoisseur would likely celebrate with a glass or two.

“I’ve been here a long time and I’ve had good players. That’s the formula,” Popovich said. “Getting the players is difficult, but I’ve been fortunate to have good ones. The time, that’s the most important element. You have to be around for a while I guess.” Popovich celebrated in his typical low-key way. He walked to midcourt, put an arm around Pacers coach Frank Vogel, hugged one of his former players and stoically strolled into the Spurs’ locker room though he later acknowledged he might drink some wine
