“It’s not mine. It’s ours,” Popovich said in reference to the record after the game, via the NBA.
“It’s just a testament to a whole lot of people. Something like this does not belong to one individual. Basketball’s a team sport. You preach to your players that they have to do it together and that’s certainly been the case in my life with all the wonderful players and coaches, the staff that I’ve been blessed with, the support of this wonderful city.”
Hall of Fame coach Don Nelson previously held the record at 1,335 – but was congratulatory of Popovich eclipsing his win total.
