Gregg Popovich took the helm of the San Antonio Spurs in 1996 and has been the unwavering leader of the team ever since. However, the legendary era has now come to a close.

Details: According to renowned insider Shams Charania, Popovich has stepped down as head coach of the Spurs and will now focus solely on his duties as club president. He led San Antonio for 29 years.

Popovich—a Basketball Hall of Famer and the all-time winningest coach in NBA history with 1,336 victories—leaves behind a legacy like no other.

He guided the Spurs to five NBA championships—1999, 2003, 2005, 2007, and 2014—a franchise record. In addition, he was named NBA Coach of the Year three times: in 2003, 2012, and 2014.

Reminder: After the Los Angeles Lakers were knocked out of the NBA playoffs in the first round, American basketball legend LeBron James spoke about his future, sparking concerns among fans. The 40-year-old star said he has not yet made a final decision and does not know what comes next.
