Cinco vezes campeão da NBA com o San Antonio Spurs durante os 29 anos em que treinou a equipe, Gregg Popovich anunciou neste sábado que deixará o cargo. Aos 79 anos, ele assumirá o cargo de presidente de operações de basquete da franquia, enquanto o comando permanece com o interino Mitch Johnson.
O Spurs informou os fãs sobre as mudanças por meio das redes sociais. “Enquanto meu amor e paixão pelo jogo permanecem, decide que é hora de deixar de ser técnico. Serei eternamente grato aos belíssimos jogadores, treinadores, equipe e torcedores que me permitiram ser o técnico dos Spurs e estou ansioso com a oportunidade de continuar ajudando a organização, a comunidade e a cidade que são tão significativos para mim”, diz a nota assinada por Poppovich.
Em novembro de 2024, ele sofreu um pequeno AVC e precisou se afastar das atividades dos Spurs. Desde 1988 em San Antonio, ele assumiu como técnico na temporada 1996/1997, comandando 2291 jogos no total. Foram 1422 vitórias (62,1% de aproveitamento), com cinco títulos (1998/99, 2002/03, 2004/05, 2006/07 e 2013/14) e três vezes eleito o Técnico do Ano da NBA (2002/03, 2011/12 e 2013/14). Ele é o recordista da premiação, empatado com Don Nelson e Pat Riley.
Nesta temporada, os Spurs terminaram na 13ª colocação na Conferência Oeste, sob o comando de Johnson, e não avançaram para os playoffs. Jovem promessa da NBA, o francês Wembanyama, de 2.24m de altura, escolheu a franquia de San Antonio para poder trabalhar com Popovich.

Slavia se po oslavách vrací domů, Baník hostí Olomouc
Začít se sluší skupinou o titul, kde by teoreticky mělo být v sázce hodně. Jenže Slavia, která ligu s přehledem vede, už si zisk trofeje pro mistra ligy zajistila minulý víkend, když deklasovala 5:0 Olomouc. O co hrát tak má pouze soupeř z Plzně. Druhý mančaft tabulky na úvod nadstavby porazil Spartu 2:0 a vytvořil si na stříbrné příčce čtyřbodový náskok před třetím Baníkem. Postup do druhého předkola Ligy mistrů tak mají Západočeši na dosah.Třetí Ostrava ale nehodlá podruhé v řadě ztratit. Baník tuší, že po prohře s Jabloncem musí zabrat. A jeho soupeřem bude šestá Olomouc, pro níž bude vrcholem sezony finále poháru proti Spartě. Do pohárů už se z ligy Sigma kvalifikovat prakticky nemůže, pokud zmíněný Jablonec brutálním způsobem neselže.Úvodní duel čeká i skupinu o umístění, mezi fotbalovými fanoušky zvanou prostřední. Hradec Králové se utká s Karvinou. Oba celky se ve dvojzápase poperou o postup do finále skupiny o umístění, vítěz obdrží finanční odměnu a výhodnější […]

Yankees expected a lot from Paul Goldschmidt. They’re getting even more
NEW YORK — Of course, Austin Wells knew all about Paul Goldschmidt. The 25-year-old New York Yankees catcher grew up watching the 37-year-old first baseman. Wells knew about Goldschmidt’s seven All-Star selections, four Gold Gloves and the National League MVP award he bagged in 2022.And while Wells expected Goldschmidt to be a positive addition to the club’s pregame hitters meetings, Wells has been blown away by his contributions.Advertisement“He’s very prepared,” Wells said recently. “He’s very focused. He always has something that he’s seen from recent outings that he’s reporting back on from watching video. Getting to hear a guy like that, who’s ‘X’ amount of years into playing baseball and still watching film and preparing to have success, it’s really cool. I don’t expect anything less from him because that’s just who he is in getting to know him more, […]
