Zach Collins shares an unbelievable ultimatum he received from Coach Gregg Popovich during a terrible shooting slump. Zach reveals how he couldn’t hit a shot for a three-game stretch, going 3 for 16 from three-point range. Frustrated with the team’s performance, Coach Popovich called out Zach during a practice, forbidding him from shooting threes ever again, not even in pick and pop situations. For weeks, Zach followed the coach’s directive, focusing on rolling to the basket instead of shooting threes. But eventually, Zach couldn’t resist his natural shooting instincts and started sneaking in a few three-pointers in practice. As his shot improved, Coach Popovich noticed the change and encouraged Zach to shoot more threes per game. Looking back, Zach now realizes that Coach Popovich made this bold move to help him get out of his shooting slump and become a more well-rounded player.

GOSPURSGO!!
Channing is my favorite person to listen to from the NBA. Such a lovable, fun guy but always ready to throw in some wise words for the next generation.
I'm glad Channing is explaining this to the young guys because some young talents like Walker and Murray were out here talking about pop playing mind games and trying to break you. They're not realizing hes doing it for their own good to make them better players, which it did.
keen for this episode
Channing getting wiser
Is the full episode of this out yet?
That’s good content. Spurrific!
Love the insight but why was this labeled a CRAZY story?
Crazy story : when TP9 got the same treatment he started leading the league for most points in the paint
Channing is the funny glue to any team and situation he is unreal!! Let’s goo!!
The man that ended Dame’s Portland career lol. Portland traded up and drafted Zach Collins two picks before Bam Adebayo who Dame insists to play for.
He’s going to be a monster with Wemby
I HAVE A DOUG MOE STORY SWEN FLYING DUTCHMAN NATER GET ALL OF THE REBOUNDS GEORGE ICEMAN GERVIN SCORE ALL OF THE POINTS AND JAMES JIMMY SI CAPTAIN LATE SILAS WIN THE GAME COMING FROM THE FIRST SPURS FAN IN NEW YORK CITY 1974
Who's the dude ont he left?
Dude shoots like 30% from 3, he should keep rolling to the basket. This is why modern Ball sucks so much too many dudes who shouldn't be shooting any 3s are shooting 3s
chris laettner lookin ass
Channing Frye and Trey Murphy look like a father and son combo.
As a spurs fan, I’d be very okay if Collins never shot another 3
Nothing crazy about this story at all. 😂
Young Gerald!
They should ban 3s in the nba
Every Coach & system isn’t for every player. All players also can’t be coached the same way.
