Officially announced retirement! Another era is over...

On May 3, 2025, Greg Popovich officially announced his retirement, ending his 29-year Spurs coaching career. As the coach of President Hill in history and one of the greatest coaches at the service, Popovich's transition marks the official end of an era. The era of GDP has officially gone, and the era of young people is about to begin.

In Bobo's own words, his body can no longer bear the strength of coaching the NBA. This statement is also easy to understand. Popovich, born in 1949, is exactly 76 years old this year. While his physical functions have dropped significantly, he also suffered a stroke a few days ago. Considering that the NBA needs to go to different venues for a long time, retirement is obviously the most suitable choice.

It's just that this is somewhat regrettable for Spurs fans. After all, the current team is holding a card like Wenban Yama, and Popovich's existence can allow the former to activate his potential to the greatest extent. Unfortunately, Vinban Yama may be the next Duncan, but Popovich is not the Popo he used to be.

Looking back at Popovich's career, it can be said to be honored. As the coach of the NBA history, Popovich led the team to a total of 1,422 wins, and won five NBA championships and three coaches of the year. Not only that, Popovich led the team to win the East County Olympics as the head coach of the American men's basketball team.

According to the Spurs, Popovich will serve as the Spurs president after he is removed from the coach position. In fact, Popovich had absolute trading rights and signing rights in the Spurs before, so the current position of president is more like a symbolic position. Next, Popovich will likely gradually fade out of the NBA.

The old friends withered one after another, just like leaves falling in the wind. Lao Ke left, GDP, KG, Driver, Wade, and Anthony retired one after another. James and Paul became the oldest "old guys" in the league. Curry, Irving, Westbrook, KD, and Harden, such former "young guys", have also reached the age of 4. The new facade has not arrived yet, but a golden age belonging to the NBA is gradually coming to an end.
