LeBron James gave no hesitation when answering a reporters question Thursday on who he thought the best NBA coach of all time was. It's Gregg Popovich. I think he's the greatest coach of all time. You have to be sharp, mentally and physically, when you go against his ballclub. If you were an NFL player, it's probably the same as going against a [Bill] Belichick team. What they're going to do, they're going to do and you have to try to figure it out. The two know each other well having played and coached in three NBA Finals series together, with Popovich's Spurs prevailing twice. "To be able to do what he's done where the basketball has changed so much and he's been able to have a growth mindset and change with the game [is impressive]. Pop has been able to adjust every single time and still, for some odd reason, keep those guys under the radar. I don't understand it."
