Like many sports, NBA teams cycle through head coaches at an astoundingly quick rate.

Which makes what Gregg Popovich and the San Antonio Spurs have accomplished that much more amazing.

Popovich took over the team in the middle of the 1996-97 season. Although he didn't have success right away, the team kept him around, and two years later, they were NBA champions, setting up a 20-year run that has included four more championships.

Meanwhile, almost all other teams have gone through several coaches during that time span. Many of the other coaches around the NBA that season have gone on to become analysts, team executives, or out of basketball entirely.

Take a look at where the other coaches from the 1996-97 NBA season are today.

Gregg Popovich took over the Spurs in December and went 17-47 with the team en route to a 20-62 record.

Popovich is still with the Spurs today. He's won five championships with the team and is seventh all-time in wins.

Lenny Wilkens was head coach of the Atlanta Hawks in 1996. They finished the season 56-26.

The INSIDER Summary: 

• Disney isn't just about the rides — there are plenty of great food options that shouldn't be missed. 
• From Epcot's Biergarten to the Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant, here's how to eat your way through Disney. 

More than 17 million people vacation at Disney World’s Magic Kingdom each year, and that magic — and those long lines — can work up an appetite.

When hunger strikes on your next visit, don’t turn to the nearest food cart or restaurant. It’s worth seeking out certain restaurants at Disney World and Disneyland that will satisfy kids and adults alike and enhance your experience. Waking up to the Princess Breakfast of French toast stuffed with caramel apple and drizzled in caramel at the Cinderella Castle or sampling piri-piri chicken and South African wines at Jiko restaurant can be as memorable as laying eyes on Mickey for the first time.

Some of the best Disney restaurants embrace their own themes, like the Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant, where you can dig into house-smoked St. Louis–style pork ribs while watching a black-and-white horror movie on the 50-foot screen.

If Sci-Fi Dine-In transports you to another time (the 1950s), Disneyland’s Blue Bayou transports you to another place—a southern bayou, complete with “twilight” lighting and fireflies. It’s delightful to linger here over New Orleans gumbo as the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction floats by.

We have you covered whatever you’re craving, from great to-go snacks (a jumbo turkey leg) to a celebrity chef’s Mediterranean restaurant on Disney’s BoardWalk.

Enchanted Tiki Room, Adventureland, Disneyland

The Tiki Juice Bar’s Dole Whip Float is so popular that it could be its own Disney character. This treat starts off with fresh-made, ice-cold pineapple juice, followed by a generous portion of creamy pineapple nondairy/vegan soft-serve (also available in the less traditional vanilla or orange soft-serve). Disney World visitors can get their fix at Aloha Isle in the Magic Kingdom.

Flying Fish Café, Disney’s BoardWalk

Disney’s BoardWalk complex brings together restaurants, bars, and souvenir shops, with great people- (and character-) watching. Among the hubbub, look for the flashing neon sign that encourages diners to enter the Flying Fish Café, inspired by Coney. The famous Cyclone roller coaster is reflected in hand-painted murals and the wavy-shaped booth backs. Keep your eye on the cloud-painted ceiling as the stars twinkle. If you reserve a seat at the chef’s counter, you can watch the action firsthand as the chefs prepare signature dishes like the potato-wrapped red snapper and the char-crusted New York strip steak.

Rose & Crown, United Kingdom Pavilion, Epcot

With rich woods, etched glass, and old-time photos, the Rose & Crown simulates a British pub experience—especially if you order a round of the fish and chips. An oversize piece of fresh cod (hand battered and deep fried) is served in an English newspaper with English chips. Wash it down with a Half and Half: half Harp Lager, half Guinness. Patio tables deliver one of the best fireworks views in Epcot.

Squinting my eyes in the near white out conditions was mildly annoying, and, sure, I was worried about the 30-mile-per-hour winds beating against the few inches of skin I’d arrogantly left exposed. But, still, I felt at home.

For my out-of-state friends, however, the situation was a little more dire. It was December in the Dakotas, and none of them had ever experienced weather like that before. Miserable as they were, I couldn’t help but remind them that this was “toboggan” weather — the sort of weather local children break their sleds out for.

Growing up in South Dakota, I gained a healthy respect for what the winter season is capable of. We send our kids to school in this weather, we go to work in this weather, and, hell, we even go out to the lake in this weather just to drill a hole in the ice and sit around it all day. For fun.

That’s just life on the high plains in the winter. It takes a special breed to live and thrive in subzero conditions for weeks at a time. It also takes some common sense and a little bit of know-how to prevent cold weather injuries.

Every year, cold weather injuries claim countless people who ventured into the unforgiving elements unprepared and untrained. Don’t be one of them.

If, this winter, you’re going to lose your mind and head out to the Dakotas, or any other place where freezing to death (literally) is possible, first do yourself a favor and memorize the Army’s KOLD acronym: Keep it clean, avoid Overheating, wear clothing Loose and in Layers, and keep clothing Dry. That’s a good start, but here are a few more key tips to help you stay warm and, more importantly, alive.

SEE ALSO: 5 challenges the Trump Pentagon will face in 2017

Cover every inch of your skin, literally.

Exposure to these elements can be a sure way to find yourself in a bad situation. In addition to the obvious — covering your feet, legs, arms, and core like you would in normal winter conditions — you will also need to have something for your hands, face, and head.

The skin on your face will be brutalized in the piercing wind, and your hands will go numb within a minute or two if unsheathed. I personally like my Marmot Randonnee gloves as they have a moisture-wicking liner and cinch close at their opening to keep driving winds out.

Every bit of bare skin is a crack in your armor, don’t give the enemy an opening to attack you! Pack accordingly.

Dress in layers that make sense.

Extreme temperature swings are possible in remote environments, so you’ll need the ability to quickly add to or take away from your wardrobe. A wicking material, such as synthetic polyester or merino wool, should always be used as the base layer against your skin.

This will help keep your skin dry when performing vigorous activities, and will be comfortable when you shed your other layers to crawl into a sleeping bag at night. After that, you will need 2-3 light to medium layers (almost any material is acceptable, but at least one layer should be insulated), and they should all be loose fitting.

Finally, your winter parka will be your exterior shell. I have worn the Beyond Clothing Level 7 Parka in some of the most extreme environments possible without suffering so much as a shiver – you absolutely cannot go wrong with the L7 as your outer layer. Follow a similar scheme for your legs (but not as many layers) for best results.

Chapstick and sunglasses are a must.

It’s often the small things that make the difference between comfort and injury. I’m a Blistex kind of guy myself, but as long as you are using some sort of chap-stick, you should be in the clear.

I’ve seen people forego this measure and have cracked, bleeding lips by the end of the afternoon. As far as sunglasses go, almost anything will do. They serve two purposes. One, they act as a barrier between your eyes and the driving wind.

And two, they prevent straining your eyes against the bright white environment. In some environments, you’ll need specialized glasses for prolonged outdoor activity, so do your research and plan accordingly.

Debbie Reynolds, the mother of Carrie Fisher, died Wednesday at the age of 84, a day after the death of her daughter.

"It's true, she's with Carrie," Reynolds' son, Todd Fisher, told Reuters.

The legendary Hollywood actress is best known for her roles in the musical "Singin' in the Rain" and "The Unsinkable Molly Brown," which brought her an Oscar nomination.

Here's a look back on the iconic life of Debbie Reynolds:

Debbie Reynolds, newly engaged to Eddie Fisher, steps from her automobile on Oct. 27, 1954 in Beverly Hill, California.

Fisher and his fiancée Reynolds, gaze into each other's eyes at Idlewild Airport, April 19, 1955 in New York after arriving from England.

Reynolds entertains at the 8th Army headquarters in Seoul, South Korea, on Monday, May 23, 1955.

By and large, any student who has their sights on working at a major bank must complete a summer internship first. They are an opportunity for students to test out the profession, and for the firm to scout for its future employees.

In 2015, Business Insider had the opportunity to follow Sophie, a University of Cambridge economics student, as she went through a day of her 10-week summer analyst internship.

She was one of hundreds of interns who work at the investment bank every summer, and who follow essentially the same programme, whether they're in London, Hong Kong or New York.

If previous years are anything to go by, a majority of the summer intake will be offered positions at JP Morgan for when they finish studying — becoming high-flying and highly-paid investment bankers in the process.

This is how Sophie's day went.

This post is based on a previous article by Mike Bird.

It was an early start. Sophie had to be at her desk for 6:30 a.m, in London's Canary Wharf.

JP Morgan's London headquarters is this 31-storey tower on Bank Street. The bank bought the tower in 2010 — it had previously belonged to Lehman Brothers.

Sophie worked in global equity sales. She was there for 10 weeks in the summer of 2015, having completed other internship periods at the bank already. The desk essentially sells shares from around the world to largely UK-based clients.

Despite Russia's saber-rattling towards NATO allies and its aggressive intervention in the Syrian civil war, 2016 has seen the country do the unthinkable and cut its defence budget for the first time in decades.

Half of the country's government revenues come from oil and gas exports, and its economy has taken a big hit since crude prices collapsed in 2014. Military spending fell by 5.6% in 2016 to £39.8 billion ($49.2 billion) from £42 billion ($51.5 billion) last year.

Despite that, Russia's military spending as a percentage of its GDP continues to outstrip that of countries within NATO by a considerable distance. It currently spends 5.4% of its annual GDP on defence— the closest a NATO country comes by comparison is the United States, which spends just 3.3%.

But how does the modern Russian military stack up against the best that the Western Alliance has to offer?

Take a look.

This post is based on a previous article by Mike Bird

1. Tanks. Russia's new Armata battle tank is one of the world's most advanced, with a 125mm cannon capable of firing 10 rounds per minute. It was showcased in Moscow's Victory parade in 2015, and went into mass production this year. More than 2,000 will be in service by 2020.

Not all of NATO's highly advanced equipment is American, though most is. Germany's Leopard 2A7 battle tank, which recently came into service, is perhaps the world's most well-regarded tank.

2. Artillery. The 2S35 Koalitsiya-SV is Russia's new showcase self-propelled artillery piece, which was also showcased at the parade in May. It has a 152mm gun turret with a range of up to 70 kilometers which fires 16 rounds per minute.

Each year, Business Insider celebrates the best and the brightest women in the mobile advertising industry — a sector that has traditionally been dominated by men.

We ask readers and companies to nominate who they think are the most influential women in the business. We also asked that they nominate at least one other competitor to ensure that the list wasn't self-serving. 

In addition, we consulted again with Erin "Mack" McKelvey, CEO of SalientMG, whose knowledge of the mobile ad business exceeds our own.

This is, by no means, a complete list of all the influential women in the mobile advertising business. It is, however, a representation of some of the most powerful women out there, who are running big businesses with large client bases and sizeable revenues.

30. Anne Frisbie, SVP of global brand and programmatic at InMobi

InMobi is an India-based mobile-only ad network that claims to reach more than 1.6 billion active users. It has around 1,000 employees and has raised $225.1 million in funding.

Frisbie has more than 6 years' mobile ad experience and is currently responsible for leading InMobi's demand-side platform relationship management program for the company's ad exchange, which is powered by Rubicon Project.

That part of the business drives 30% of InMobi's programmatic revenue and Frisbie says she expects this to reach 50% soon.

29. Maja Mikek, cofounder and CFO at Celtra

Mikek cofounded Celtra, a creative management platform for digital advertising, in 2006.

She became the company's CFO in January 2015, having helped build its finance operations from the very beginning.

The Hudert, a Berlin-based startup project, named Mikek as one of the top 100 successful European founders this year.

28. Jana Kusick, global managing director at Plista

Kusick was promoted to the Germany, Switzerland, and Austria managing director position of Plista, a Germany-based digital media specialist, in 2013.

In 2014, the company was acquired by WPP for a reported €30 million. And in July this year, Kusick was promoted again to become Plista's global managing director.

Plista now sits within WPP's Xaxis programmatic unit and acts as its native ad specialist. This year it launched in major markets including the US and across Asia Pacific. 

This year, Business Insider dubbed the Acura NSX the Car of the Year, but there were several other cars we loved even if they didn't make our finalists list.

One such car is the Nissan Rogue that I took for a spin in November.

The Rogue, which has had three years of sales growth since 2014, is anticipated to becomes Nissan's top-selling vehicle. As a fairly loyalist Subaru driver, I decided to take the revamped 2017 model for a spin and see what all the fuss was about.

The 2017 Nissan Rogue feels luxurious while still acting as a comfortable, easy-to-drive crossover. Scroll down for a closer look:

I will be the first to admit that it's difficult for me to fall in love with a crossover SUV outside Subaru. Considering the Forester was my very first car, I've somewhat succumbed to the cult following that if you're looking for an affordable crossover, that's the way to go.

But there's plenty to be excited about with the 2017 Nissan Rogue. Starting at a base price of $23,820, I took a spin in the SL Premium model that costs $31,310, which I consider reasonable considering all of the perks it comes with.

For those familiar with the Rogue, the 2017 model comes with a revamped front fascia that includes integrated fog lamps with the bumper. It's a powerful look without being ostentatious.

Each year, research company Kantar Worldpanel launches its Brand Footprint study, a global report in which it ranks the top 50 brands in the FMCG space.

The ranking is based on how many households around the world are buying each brand and how often, a metric Kantar Worldpanel calls "Consumer Reach Points."

The aim is to uncover local tastes, trends, and behaviors and how these manifest in actual shopper decisions, the report says. The analysis covers 300 billion shopper decisions across 74% of the world's population and 15,000 brands in 44 countries.

The study also found that emerging markets accounted for 82% of FMCG growth.

Here are the top 10 brands in its latest ranking: 

The data for this year’s ranking was collected over the 52 week period between 12 October 2014 and 11 October 2015.

From electric cars to the Hyperloop, there’s a lot of innovation going on in transportation these days. But many of the engineering marvels we are just beginning to see were actually predicted a long time ago by none other than Walt Disney.

At the end of a 1958 Disneyland episode “Magic Highway USA,” Disney introduces a segment that he describes as "a realistic look at the road ahead and what tomorrow's motorists can expect in the years to come.”

In the segment, the narrator describes futuristic concepts like tube travel and autonomous vehicles.

While the ideas probably sounded farfetched at the time, a lot of Disney’s predictions actually came true or are on their way to becoming a reality.

Here’s a look at some of the most bold predictions Disney presented — some that are here today and some that we may still see in the future.

While there have been plenty of newsworthy, powerful, and deeply moving photographs created this year— there's also been a handful of playful, humorous moments that the Reuters award-winning team of photographers have captured.

While some of these photos are bizarre for their lack of context, others are just simply bizarre.

With a finite number of hours in the day to watch television, one can feel there will never be enough time to watch everything the critics, social media, our coworkers, friends, and family say we need to see.

It's not just a feeling. We now know it for a fact: There were an estimated 455 scripted TV programs in 2016. And you just can't see them all.

To sit down and name the 10 best shows of the hundreds that aired and streamed this year is a herculean task. So for this list of 2016's best shows, we reflected on all the well-written, superbly acted, and beautifully shot shows of the year (that we were able to check out) and added one more criterion to mix up the selections just a bit: Was it not only good, but surprisingly so?

That means shows that usually populate year-end lists like this — such as AMC's "Better Call Saul," FX's "The Americans," and HBO's "Silicon Valley"— won't appear here as we expect them to be exemplary.

With that in mind, here are 2016's 10 best TV shows:

10. “Mozart in the Jungle” (Amazon)

"Mozart in the Jungle," a show about a New York classical music orchestra that was called "niche" when it first debuted, has proven itself season after season to be about so much more. Its newly released third season is no different. The orchestra has fallen apart and its talented musicians have embarked on their own personal journeys. Amid beautiful international settings, we see just how broad this show can get. At the same time, it's grounded in the comedy of bringing these lost souls back together to create beautiful music. Tremendous acting from Gael Garcia Bernal, Bernadette Peters, and Malcolm McDowell give this series the extra edge.

9. "The Crown" (Netflix)

A show about the early years of Queen Elizabeth's reign may not appeal to everyone, but it really brings an unexpected intimate and grounded feel to her life, her marriage, her family obligations, and her role in an evolving England.

8. "The Night Of" (HBO)

An especially timely show as the American criminal justice system is itself on trial, "The Night Of" plots the arrest of Nasir (Riz Ahmed), a young Muslim man suspected of brutally murdering a young white woman after a night of sordid sex and drugs. It seems like an open-and-shut case, but an ambulance-chasing attorney, played by the talented John Turturro, has a gut instinct that there's more to the story. The show plods slowly at a hypnotic pace as more information about the night in question, Nasir, and the victim comes to the light.

It's time to check out what will be leaving from Netflix when 2017 comes around.

In January, a handful of ESPN "30 for 30" titles will be gone, as well as classics like "The Fast and the Furious,""Coming to America,""Bring It On," and "Dazed and Confused."

Here's the full list of everything leaving Netflix in December.

Launching a product is tough.

"Less than 3% of new consumer packaged goods exceed first-year sales of $50 million — considered the benchmark of a highly successful launch,"say Joan Schneider and Julie Hall, coauthors of "The New Launch Plan."

That's part of the reason that the most heavy-hitting names in business — from Pepsi to Netflix, Microsoft to McDonald's — have had some of the biggest belly flops. 

Here's a look at 24 of them and what we can learn from these epic fails. 

Aimee Groth, Jay Yarow, and Drake Baer contributed reporting to this story.

1957 — Ford Edsel

Bill Gates cites the Edsel flop as his favorite case study. Even the name "Edsel" is synonymous with "marketing failure." Ford invested $400 million into the car, which it introduced in 1957. But Americans literally weren't buying it, because they wanted "smaller, more economic vehicles," according to Associated Content:

"Other pundits have blamed its failure on Ford Motors execs never really defining the model's niche in the car market. The pricing and market aim of most Edsel models was somewhere between the highest-end Ford and the lowest-end Mercury."

It was taken off the market in 1960.

1975 — Sony Betamax

The 1970s saw a war in home video formats between Betamax and VHS. 

Sony made a mistake: It started selling the Betamax in 1975, while its rivals started releasing VHS machines. Sony kept Betamax proprietary, meaning that the market for VHS products quickly outpaced Betamax. Though Betamax was technically superior, VHS won out by simply being ubiquitous.

1985 — New Coke

In the early 1980s, Coke was losing ground to Pepsi. The infamous "Pepsi Challenge" ads were largely responsible for Pepsi's surge. In response, Coca-Cola tried to create a product that would taste more like Pepsi.

While New Coke fared well enough in nationwide taste tests before launching in 1985, it turned out those were misleading. Coke abandoned the product after a few weeks and went back to its old formula. It also gave its product a new name: Coca-Cola Classic.

The INSIDER Summary

• Learning to cook when you live away from home will save your waistline and your wallet.
• Invest in a crockpot and then learn a few go-to recipes for the ultimate effortless, delicious dinner.

Moving out of your dorm and away from dining hall food can be a rough transition. At the time, you complained about the greasy pizza and sub-par salad bar your dining hall had to offer. But when you move off campus, reality is harsh. Cooking for yourself 24/7 seems fun at first, but I’m here to tell you that it’s not always as great as it seems. Here are 10 things I learned when I moved into my first apartment:

Hot sauce makes everything taste better.

Burnt your eggs? Hot sauce. Chicken tastes like paste? Hot sauce. Sick of rice and veggies? Hot sauce.

The Freshman 15 is real, but it’ll go away once you have to cook for yourself.

Long gone are the days of swiping into the dining hall and eating to your heart’s content. Unless you’ve befriended a freshman to swipe you in, most likely you’re cooking for yourself which means instant oatmeal, eggs, and microwaveable veggies. The weekend pizza doesn’t do as much damage when you’re scrounging for food Monday through Thursday.

Expiration dates are a myth. If it smells fine, you’ll live.

Not sure why that salsa says it expired last June, ’cause it sure tastes all right to me.

On Wednesday evening the news came out that actress Debbie Reynolds had died at the age of 84 after being rushed to the hospital due to a medical emergency earlier in the day (her cause of death has not yet been announced). This was one day after her daughter, actress Carrie Fisher, died at the age of 60 after suffering a heart attack on a United flight on December 23. 

As Reynolds' son Todd Fisher told Variety after her passing, “She wanted to be with Carrie.” 

Before Fisher went on to become an icon playing Princess Leia in the "Star Wars" movies, Reynolds was already a legend. At 19 years old she landed the lead female role in the classic 1952 musical "Singin' in the Rain," which also starred Gene Kelly and Donald O'Connor. Then in 1964 she received an Oscar nomination for "The Unsinkable Molly Brown." She had her own TV show, "The Debbie Reynolds Show," in 1969. And in 1996 she received a Golden Globe nomination playing the adorable mom in Albert Brooks' "Mother." 

Celebrities both young and old have gone to social media to pay their respects to Reynolds, a Hollywood institution for her whole life.

Cars clogged the streets of Borehamwood, England, an outlying suburb of London, for decades. But in the mid-1990s, the town added new pedestrian-only areas to its center.

The change transformed the town, according to Esther Kurland, the director of Urban Design London, a nonprofit that connects urban designers and planners in the city.

"This was one of the first ‘traffic calming’ shared space schemes in the country," Kurland tells Business Insider. "And I was fascinated in how the behavior of both drivers and pedestrians changed." 

Borehamwood is just one example of the way innovative public space can improve the lives of an area's inhabitants. To find more, we reached out to urban designers and planners around the world. They told us about spaces that have been game-changers for cities, that inspired them to go into the field, and that they simply find stunning.

Here are 15 of the world's most beautiful parks, libraries, streets, and plazas, according to people who design them for a living.

Millennium Park in Chicago, Illinois.

"It was clearly a game-changer, not only for Chicago and the real estate that surrounds the park, but for its influence on cities everywhere," says Carol Coletta, the VP of Community and National Initiatives for the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation.

Coletta manages millions of dollars annually in grants for city design, and says Millennium Park is the ideal public space. Intended to celebrate the second millennium, the 25-acre park hosts public art and events.

"Lurie Garden, tucked in the park’s southeast corner, is one of my favorite places in the world that somehow manages to remain deeply calming in the midst of the chaos of the larger park," she says.

Spruce Street Harbor Park in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Bordering an urban beach, Spruce Street Harbor Park features colorful lights at night and hammocks for lounging.

It "was intended to be a temporary intervention — really a desperate move for a very tough location separated from Philadelphia’s Old City by a wide and busy road," Coletta explains. "But it keeps going and going because people keep coming and coming. It is a simple, loving intervention whose design elements have been widely copied."

Building a new residential housing development that actually feels like a small town is almost impossible, says Steve Mouzon, the founder of Mouzon Design.

But the founder and developer of Seaside, Florida did just that, using public space to foster a new independent, tight-knit community.

"The developer had the audacity to build a town square, with a post office, a grocery, a bookstore, and a collection of other restaurants and shops with apartments above," Mouzon explains. "Never mind that the post office wasn’t a sanctioned US Post Office, but rather ganged mailboxes installed inside a tiny civic building. Because the mailboxes wore civic clothing, people behaved in a civic way. And even though Seaside has never been incorporated as a town, people nonetheless behave in neighborly ways."

Drones are everywhere, from the battlefield to the backyards of America. 

In 2013, when the first consumer drones began arriving on the market, photographer Amos Chapple knew he needed one. After purchasing a drone, he traveled the world photographing famous landmarks — before some governments had time to roll out regulations on drone use.

"There was a window of about 18 months where it was possible to fly these things anywhere and people were excited to see it. I'm glad I made use of that time," Chapple says.

Now, with drone use illegal in many of these locations, his collection of beautiful drone images are some of the only aerial photos of their kind. Chapple shared many of them with us. You can find more on his website.

When the commercial drone first hit the market in 2013, Chapple says he sifted through new product reviews to find the model that would help his art take flight.

Finally, Chinese technology company DJI came out with version one of the Phantom quadcopter drone, which cost about $470. Chapple was sold.

Reuters and its award-winning photographers are on almost every country on the globe.

2016 was a year of political upheaval, and Reuters was there to capture it. But they also made sure not to forget the more quotidian aspects of life.

These 142 photos — one for almost every country Reuters covered this year — don't capture the politicians who led their nations or the athletes who represented them on the world stage. They're about the everyday person just living their life.

Here are 142 photos that best represent almost every country in the world in 2016.
