I’ll be leaving the head coach of the San Antonio Spurs if he is not fired because of a miscommunication with one of his players.

Gregg Popovich, who turned 75 in January, has coached the San Antonio Spurs to five championship rings while sitting on the bench for 28 of those years. Not unexpectedly, with 1366 victories, he holds the record for most wins among NBA coaches. He believed that he had seen it all throughout his lengthy career. Up until 20-year-old French center Victor Wembanyama, who stands 2.24 meters tall, came into his grasp,.

And the reason for that is that Tim Duncan and David Robinson, two of the greatest centers in NBA history, were commanded by “Pop,” the iron sergeant of the Spurs, for a number of seasons. His admiration for the rising star therefore assumes a unique significance.

Popovich is not one to take credit lightly, but following Wembanyama’s most recent exhibition against the Raptors (99-122), in which he destroyed them with his second career triple-double (27 points, 14 rebounds, and 10 blocks, surpassing his previous record of 8 against Memphis on November 18), he was forced to draw attention to the all-around abilities of his massive player, who can block shots, make three-pointers, run counterattacks, and even dish out assists like a point guard.

“He did a little bit of everything,” the Spurs coach stated. “He’s obviously a very well-rounded, talented player who also has a great feel for the game and shows it in a variety of ways, whether it’s passing, making decisions, or blocking shots.”

Since Clint Capela’s 13 points, 19 rebounds, and 10 blocks for Atlanta against Minnesota on January 22, 2021, it was the first triple-double with blocks.

In addition, nobody in the NBA had ever blocked ten shots in a single game before. In terms of that statistic, Wembanyama leads the NBA with three per game.

However, even being aware of how effortlessly he can lift them with his 6-foot-7 stature, his opponents are still unable to avoid his infinite tentacles.

Devin Vassell, a teammate, commented, “I guess it’s not on the opponents’ scouting report that he can block a shot.” regarding Wembanyama. He joked cynically, “I guess they’ll learn one of these days.”

Unsurprisingly, Wemby was really pleased with his performance in the end, saying, “I felt great today.” “Excellent pacing, robust game opening.”You know, I suppose it’s just the NBA. Although our form has seen ups and downs, today was a good day,” he remarked.
