The NBA adjusted Gregg Popovich’s career record, removing the 77 games he missed last season from his ledger. The 32-45 record the San Antonio Spurs logged in his absence are now credited to now-permanent coach Mitch Johnson, who stepped in for Popovich in an interim capacity after the legendary headman suffered a stroke.
Popovich is the NBA’s career wins leader, even after the record adjustment. He closed his tenure with the Spurs at 1,390-824, following the removal of the 77 games he missed last season. Popovich announced his retirement following the conclusion of the Spurs’ season, and the franchise promptly tabbed Johnson as its full-time leader.
“While my love and passion for the game remain, I’ve decided it’s time to step away as head coach,” Popovich said upon his retirement. “I’m forever grateful to the wonderful players, coaches, staff and fans who allowed me to serve them as the Spurs head coach and am excited for the opportunity to continue to support the organization, community and city that are so meaningful to me.”
The change did not move Popovich from his spot atop the career wins leaderboard, and in fact, it boosted his win percentage from .621 to .628.

Popovich remains with the Spurs as team president. The 76-year-old spent his entire NBA head coaching career in San Antonio and delivered five championships across one of the most prolific tenures in American sports history. He also coached the USA Basketball national team and led the Olympic squad to a gold medal at the 2020 Tokyo Games.
The front office role keeps Popovich involved with basketball despite his health issues. He is the latest legendary coach to become an executive, following Pat Riley, Phil Jackson and numerous others. Popovich is a Hall of Fame inductee and one of the defining figures of the modern NBA.
“Gregg Popovich’s sustained success as head coach of the San Antonio Spurs is incomparable,” NBA commissioner Adam Silver said after Popovich’s retirement. “In addition to his many accolades, including five NBA championships, the most wins in league history and an Olympics gold medal, Coach Pop has developed generations of players and coaches and been a driving force behind the global growth of basketball.”

Zinho esquece Vanderlan e sugere duas mudanças no Palmeiras contra o Chelsea no Mundial: “Quero o Estêvão livre”
Zinho durante debate na ESPN - Reprodução/YouTubeO Palmeiras titular contra o Chelsea na Copa do Mundo de Clubes ainda é um mistério. Sem Piquerez, suspenso pelo acúmulo de cartões, a tendência é que Vanderlan seja o substituto.

Česko přivítá ambiciózního soupeře, který na MS skolil zlatou Argentinu
Byl to před dvěma a půl lety obrovský šok. Argentina vedená hvězdným Lionelem Messim zahájila MS v Kataru senzační porážkou 1:2 právě se Saúdskou Arábií. Od té doby ale Jihoameričané ani jednou nezaváhali a dokráčeli si až pro zlato.Naopak země z Blízkého východu následně padla s Polskem i Mexikem a turnaj pro ni skončil už po základní skupině. Na podzim výběr francouzského kouče Hervého Renarda drazí do Česka, konkrétně do nové Malšovické arény v Hradci Králové.„Utkání nám přinese možnost konfrontace s odlišným stylem hry. Jedná se o ambiciózní mužstvo, které dokázalo na posledním mistrovství světa porazit Argentinu,“ připomíná trenér Ivan Hašek, jenž v minulosti v Saúdské Arábii působil, stejně jako nový generální manažere reprezentace Pavel Nedvěd.Jak bylo zmíněno, duel se uskuteční v pondělí 8. září, detaily o času výkopu a prodeji vstupenek budou ještě upřesněny.

The Fourth of July is fast approaching, and you know what that means: It's time for fireworks, barbecue and tuning in to watch Joey "Jaws" Chestnut scarf down upwards of 70 hot dogs (and buns!) in 10 minutes. Chestnut is returning to compete at the 2025 Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest. The long-reigning champ was banned in 2024 after signing an endorsement deal with Nathan's competitor Impossible Foods. But this Friday, Chestnut returns to compete at Coney Island.Chestnut will aim to beat his world record of 76 dogs and buns. He'll face 2024 men's champion and No. 2-ranked eater Patrick Bertoletti, No. 3 Geoffrey Esper, No. 4 James Webb and No. 6 Nick Wehry. On the women's side, Miko Sudo remains the reigning champ, with a personal best of 51 hot dogs and buns set last year. Will she set […]
Skromný kluk obětí tragédie. Fotbalový svět vzpomíná na zesnulého Jotu
Fotogalerie„Nedává to smysl. Teď jsme spolu hráli za nároďák, před pár dny ses oženil. Upřímnou soustrast tvé ženě, rodině i dětem. Vím, že na ně budeš shora dohlížet. Budete nám chybět. Ty i tvůj bratr André,“ vyťukal na instagram jeden z nejlepších fotbalistů historie a Jotův parťák z reprezentace Cristiano Ronaldo.Nehodu totiž nepřežil ani Jotův o tři roky mladší bratr, jenž kopal druhou ligu za portugalský Penafiel. I proto tragédie ohromně zasáhla Porto. Oba sourozenci prošli mládežnickými celky klubu, řada zaměstnanců a bývalých hráčů je velmi dobře znala. Starší Jota si zahrál i za A-tým. „Truchlíme. V šoku a hlubokém zármutku vyjadřujeme upřímnou soustrast rodině i přátelům.“„Strašné. Diogo byl skromný, tichý kluk. Rozhodně ne člověk, kterého byste si představili jako typického profesionálního fotbalistu z Premier League. I když to je teď vedlejší. Myslím na jeho rodinu, přátele, manželku a tři malé děti,“ soukala ze sebe legenda Liverpoolu Jamie Carragher.Reagoval samozřejmě i samotný klub. „Jsme zničení tragickým […]
2026 NFL Draft: Oklahoma’s R Mason Thomas is an early scouting standout
A slow start gave way to solid production: Thomas recorded just one pressure through his first two games in 2024, before putting it all together and logging 33 pressures the rest of the way. Thomas' measurables don't limit his versatility: His 6-foot-2, 250-pound frame may seem like it would pigeonhole him into a stand-up outside linebacker role, but he also produces with his hand in the dirt pre-snap.
