Gregg Popovich Hilariously s With An NBA TV Reporter


NBA training camps are starting up this week, which means it’s time for lots of relatively useless soundbites about what great shape everyone is in and how good everyone’s jump shot looks. This is a natural environment for the notoriously salty Gregg Popovich to be as cranky as possible in, and that’s exactly what it looked like he was doing at the start of this interview with NBA TV’s Jared Greenberg.

But this Pop interview comes with a twist! Turns out he was just ing with Greenberg, who handles himself very well and even gets a hug for his troubles. Maybe Pop’s going soft on us.

[r0drig0lac]

haha Pop is the GOAT

[Nathan89]

I don't think Pop was making comments like that a couple years ago when Tony played really well and led his team to some success. could be wrong though.

I guess you didn't see LMA's new haircut:

Imagine what that dude's calves look like.

[ceperez]

good to see Duncan got a camp invite

Butler is 3 years older than Diaw???

[TheGreatYacht]

That's just what dabom had the barber give him so that Apo has something to look at during...

The unceremonious end of the Aron Baynes era.

And you are . . . . ?

If coach Gregg Popovich is to be believed, the team’s overture to Aldridge was positively Spursian.

“This is who we are,” Popovich said Monday, recounting his pitch. “You know who we are. You want to come, or not?”

[DPG21920]

I know it's been discussed, especially with several of LMA's answers to certain questions, but I'm really interested in seeing how LMA integrates himself into the Spurs culture.

While he's a "quiet" star like Tim, I do feel he hasn't learned the team before self mentality yet. He's more of the modern star worried about things that don't necessarily aide in winning when you boil it down. I do think he knows how the Spurs are and chose them because he's willing, but it's not a given. How he handles Pop riding him (Pop may not, like he doesn't with Kawhi) or the culture will be huge. If he's not willing to bend and not willing to put winning first, there can and will be friction.

Mr funny man here.

Bull - It's on the Frenchie to not this up. I don't trust the dude and never have. Hopefully Pop marginalizes him in the offense, so when his play drops off, the Spurs don't miss a beat. I sincerely thought his downfall in the latter part of the season was due to his injuries. If he's just washed up, that's going to suck. Again, marginalize his impact in the offense and bench his ass if he doesn't perform. No more pussy-footing around with his ego or confidence. That s over. Play someone else.

I wish the Spurs would have put in a call to Sergio Rodriguez.

Then get out of here and go for another team then rather then complain about one freaking player like the rest of these haters around the place. Go for Spurs as a whole or don't let the door hit you on the way out.

you Rookie. My whole point is to not let one player and his fragile ego and ty play bring this team down. No one is above the team, no matter how much they are being payed.

Four trophies in your sig? Get your together homie.

What I'm saying is have the respect, the season hasn't even started and your quick to want to replace him with someone that's done nothing in 5 years of NBA. Let alone help us produce 50+ wins every time he's been here
