NBA coach career total wins ranked third in Popovich total wins history
Today, the San Antonio Spurs defeated the Detroit Pistons 119-107 away. This was the 1221th victory of Popovich’s coaching career in the regular season, so he tied Jerry Sloan and ranked third in the NBA coaching career total wins list. Before them were Don Nelson (1335), the first in history, and Lanny Wilkens (1332). 1. Lanny Wilkins: 1332 wins and 1155 losses. Wilkins is a living fossil in the NBA, and he has set many records.The 35-year coaching career is unique in the NBA, and the legendary victory and defeat is also jaw-dropping. It is the so-called win more and lose more.On March 1, 1996, after defeating the Cavaliers through the Eagles, he became the first coach in league history to achieve a thousand wins. 2. Don Nelson: 1288 wins and 976 losses Like Larry Brown, Don Nelson is also a famous wandering coach in history, and many teams have left his footprints.In his 23-year coaching career, he has also won the honor of best coach three times, and won a thousand wins in the game against the Hawks on December 30, 2001, when their player Wang Zhizhi was in a smallNiu, and witnessed this historical moment.Although Nielsen is 68 years old, the nature of mad scientists is still changing. 3. Pat Riley: 1210 wins, 694 losses and a small oil head with a brilliant careerchampion.As early as November 3, 2000, he defeated the Magic, has already achieved a thousand victories.Now that the small oil head has become the old oil head, Riley also retreated to the second line and began to manipulate behind the scenes.When will he come back again?No one knows this answer. 4. Jerry Sloan: 1106 wins and 730 losses For the Jazz, Sloan is their godfather.This old coach has been coaching the Jazz for 21 years now!On December 13, 2006, after the Jazz defeated the Mavericks at home, Sloan had 1,000 wins, and two seasons later, he increased the number of wins to 1106 wins.Sloan’s achievements are both impressive and admirable. 5. Larry Brown: 1020 wins and 819 losses. Larry Brown’s coaching career is very interesting. Unlike Sloan’s 21 years, his coaching career is arithmetically strong and weak, regardless of each other.He has led the Pistons in winning championships and has struggled in the quagmire of New York.But what is interesting is that it was on January 14, 2006 that Brown introduced the Knicks to shoot down the Hawks at home and completed the progress of a thousand wins. 6. Phil Jackson: 1000 wins and 423 losses. The coach with the highest win rate in the thousand wins list, of course, this is due to the Zen Master who has two bulls and the Lakers.With nine championship rings, Zen Master is already qualified to compete with the greatest coach in history, Auerbach.Of course, whether he can surpass the Cardinal is still a matter of time. Original title: Popovich coached 1221 wins to tie Sloan tied for third in history
