Their talent, along with the countless hours they put into crafting their game, directly affects the outcome of games. But while games are won by the players, preparation and strategy have always been the keys to winning championships. Soldiers may win the battles, but wars are won outside of the battlefield, orchestrated by the masterminds of warfare that we call generals. Of course, the generals of the NBA are the coaches. And when it comes to coaching, one would be hard-pressed to find someone better than Gregg Popovich. There have been many great coaches who have become legendary in the history of the NBA. There was Red Auerbach, who was a revolutionary at making his team focus on making each other better on his way to nine NBA championships during the 1960s. Did you enjoy this excerpt?
