With the San Antonio Spurs’ 112-95 victory over the Phoenix Suns on Sunday night, Gregg Popovich earned his 1,156th career victory and passed Phil Jackson for sixth place on the NBA’s all-time win list.

Only George Karl (1,175), Pat Riley (1,210), Jerry Sloan (1,221), Lenny Wilkens (1,332) and Don Nelson (1,335) are ahead of Popovich — for now.

Considering the Spurs have averaged more than 50 wins per season under Popovich, the all-time record appears attainable if he decides to coach a few more years.
