The Spurs are one of the few teams in the league who avidly seek foreign talent. Half or more of their players are non-Americans. Non-American players have teamwork drilled into them which fits Popovich’s no stars style. Of course, it helps that Duncan, Parker, and Ginobili were/are great players, but Popovich expects every player to forgo individual glory and play for the team. Contrast that with many of the super egoes on other NBA teams.
