Gregg Popovich is one of the most successful coaches in NBA history and has won five NBA championships with the San Antonio Spurs. In addition, he has bagged three Coach of the Year awards, and is also the all-time leader in wins for a single franchise. 

Gregg has been with the franchise since 1996 and is now trying to rebuild the team around the No. 1 overall pick Victor Wembanyama. The 19-year-old, 7 feet 4 inches phenom made his debut 4 days ago and has been compared to Kevin Durant and Rudy Gobert. Victor is ready to do whatever it takes to help the Spurs win under Popovich’s guidance.

Victor Wembanyama has “a blind trust” in Gregg

Victor sat down in an interview with Hall of Famer Tony Parker to discuss his game, career, and the legacy Wemby is trying to build. On being asked what were his expectations in relation to his evolution from the 74 YO veteran coach, he said, “I have a blind trust in him because I know he did it a lot of times. He knows the recipe,”

Wembanyama also revealed that his ultimate goal is to be a player who makes his teammates better, something that Popovich has always valued and instilled in his players. “The best image I could have is to be a player that made his teammates better,” he said about the legacy that he wants to build. 

Popovich has already developed Hall of Famers

Wembanyama’s commitment to Popovich and the Spurs is significant for several reasons. First, Wemby has made it clear that he is willing to put the team first and is willing to work hard to develop his game. In his first three games, he has averaged 15.7 points, 1.7 assists and 7.3 rebounds per game. Wemby has absolute faith in Popovich’s system and his ability to win championships. Secondly, it is a vote of confidence for the Spurs franchise, which has been struggling in recent years and is trying to rebuild.
