Gregg Popovich (born January 28, 1949 in East Chicago, Indiana) is a Serbian- and Croatian-American basketball player and coach. A graduate of the U.S. Air Force Academy, he is currently the head coach of the San Antonio Spurs of the NBA.

Greg Popovich has coached the Spurs since 1996 and is the longest-serving coach of the same team in the four major professional sports leagues in the United States. He led the Spurs to five NBA championships (1999, 2003, 2005, 2007, 2014); Three-time NBA Coach of the Year Award (2003, 2012, 2014); Four-time NBA All-Star head coach (2005, 2011, 2013, 2016). On February 10, 2015, the Spurs' victory over the Pacers gave Greg Popovich his 1,000th regular-season win in his NBA coaching career.

On October 24, 2015, Greg Popovich was named the next head coach of the U.S. men's basketball team from 2017 to 2020.

Greg Popovich, whose father is Serb and whose mother is Croatian, grew up in Sonny Point, a multiracial neighborhood in East Chicago, Indiana. In high school, Popovich moved with his mother and stepfather to attend Meriveli High School in Gary Township. He was cut from the varsity team in his sophomore year and practiced throughout the summer before returning to the varsity team as a starting center in his junior year. Popovich was then named to Gary's All-Star High School team, where he reached the finals of a world high school basketball tournament and finished third. After leading the Spurs to the NBA championship in 2005, Merivelli High School retired Popovich's jersey number 21 and held a jersey retirement ceremony.

In 1966, at the suggestion of his college counselor, and considering that the Air Force Academy was free of tuition and fees, Popovich entered the U.S. Air Force Academy after graduating from high school. In his junior year, he became captain and lead scorer on the varsity team. The Air Force Academy is coached by Bob Spear and Dean Smith, and the basketball philosophy of this coaching combination is "keep moving, move at a constant speed, and the ball can't be stopped." Irene, the daughter of the team's strength and conditioning trainer, later became Popovich's wife.

Popovich majored in Soviet studies at university and graduated in civilian work in Soviet intelligence gathering. In the 70s of the 20th century, Popovich's ambition was to go to Moscow as an agent, and he knew how to keep secrets with silence. Because Popovich was of Eastern European descent, the degree also allowed him to embark on a career as a spy. He received some professional training and also really applied for a "top-secret position" working in Moscow. "People always imagine me with a gun, like a spy in their mind, but I'm not James Bond." Popovich said.

In 1972, Captain Popovich, who served at the Diyarbak base in southern Turkey, was instructed by a general to serve as the captain of the joint basketball team of the navy, land and air force organized by the Pentagon, and went to Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union and other military bases to play friendly games, during which he visited various military institutions and facilities in friendly ways; Later, he led the team to participate in the tour tournament organized by the World Association of Amateur Sportsmen in the Soviet Union and won the championship. Popovich was also invited to participate in the U.S. Olympic men's basketball tryout.
