Spurs Coach Popovich Avoids Showing Wembanyama Jokic Clips

Gregg Popovich, the renowned head coach of the San Antonio Spurs, has taken on the responsibility of nurturing Victor Wembanyama this season, a standout talent hailed as one of basketball's most promising prospects in recent memory. While Wembanyama is enjoying a solid rookie season, his growth continues, with Coach Pop incorporating videos of players like LeBron James and Michael Jordan to assist his development.
