In the eyes of an ordinary person, Popovich is a lovely old man. Born as a soldier, he has almost as keen self-discipline as his natural instinct, and is as strict with himself and his players. At the same time, Popovich's love for wine is perhaps second only to his love for basketball, and his love for drinking is famous in the circle. Maybe if you walk on the street in San Antonio, you will inadvertently find such a drunken old man with silver hair.
In the eyes of his coach, Popovich is an excellent teacher. At present, the coaches of many teams in the league are brought out by Popovich. For example, Cole of the Warriors, Buden holzer of the Eagles and Doug Rivers of the Clippers are all disciples brought out by Popovich. Rivers and Cole have both won NBA championships, and other coaches have a glorious coaching history.
In the eyes of players, Popovich is more like a strict and gentle father. At the retirement ceremony of Duncan's jersey, Popovich said to Duncan with envy like a child: "Your parents gave you to me, and now I can finally unload this responsibility and tell your parents that I have completed this task." He loves Duncan and other players as much as his father, which is his greatest personality charm.
