Gregg Popovich is widely recognized as one of the greatest coaches of all-time. The San Antonio Spurs head coach has been at the helm of multiple championship and playoff runs, piloting his team to multiple wins. Some fans even argue he's the greatest coach, ever.

Now, those fans have more evidence for their case. After the Spurs' 131 – 106 drubbing of the Houston Rockets, Gregg Popovich set a record as the only head coach to accumulate 1,500 regular-season and playoff wins in his career. (via StatMuse)

This achievement is a testament to Pop's longevity and greatness. The Spurs head coach started his stint back in 1994, coaching a young San Antonio team. While some detractors argue that he was propped up by multiple Hall of Famers, there's no question that his coaching acumen played a huge part in their success as well.

Even after the retirement of his Big 3 and the departure of Kawhi Leonard, Popovich was able to muster up playoff appearances with a less-than-ideal squad. The Spurs coach had an uncanny ability to get the best out of role players, such as Patty Mills, Danny Green, and Boris Diaw. Now, he has a budding All-Star in Dejounte Murray as his new up-and-coming star to usher in the next era of Spurs basketball.

It's unclear whether this season will be Popovich's last season at the helm of the Spurs. Rumors regarding his retirement loomed early in the season, and he's getting up there in terms of age as well. Whatever his destination next season be, Gregg Popovich has truly cemented himself as one of the greatest coaches in the NBA.
