Popovich has always adapted, changed. The first championship teams in San Antonio were defensive behemoths, funneling everything inside to Robinson and Tim Duncan — who, just as quickly, sent everything back out. The next iteration ran everything through Duncan in the half court. The next version leaned into Tony Parker’s and Manu Ginobili’s offensive gifts and embraced the 3 — even though Popovich personally hated leaning so much on that shot – and made guys like Bruce Bowen threats in the short corner. Then came a title team built around the emerging superstardom of Kawhi Leonard. Popovich has always, to use one of his colloquialisms, gotten over himself.
