As first reported earlier this month here at Project Spurs, we been keeping an eye on San Antonio Spurs’ head coach Gregg Popovich and forward Tim Duncan reaching personal milestones in their NBA careers. Here are a couple of past updates which you can read here and here.

In first place is former Utah Jazz coach Jerry Sloan with 1,127 wins and in second place is Boston Celtics’ former coach Red Auerbach who has 795 wins. Popovich still needs 13 more wins to move into second place.
