SPURS COACH POPOVICH ON MEDIA DAY

Spurs coach Gregg Popovich sends reporters to dictionary

During his Wednesday news conference in advance of Game 1 against the Miami Heat on Thursday, Popovich uttered these words: consummate, muddles, neophyte, proliferation, formulae and copacetic.

No surprise.

Popovich graduated from the Air Force Academy where he majored in Soviet studies, is a literary enthusiast, a raconteur and wine connoisseur – a renaissance man infiltrating the world of pro sports.

So, here is Popovich using those words in a sentence:

On Tim Duncan: "Timmy, he's a consummate pro."


On preparing for LeBron James possibly guarding Tony Parker: "Whatever is presented is what has to be dealt with. But ahead of time, to think of 50 different scenarios, I think muddles the mind a little bit too much. It's a basketball game, go play it and see what you've got."

On James' game on 2007 when the Cleveland Cavaliers played the Spurs in the Finals: "That was like ancient history. He was basically a neophyte at the time, wondering how all this stuff worked and how it's put together."

On the increased presence of advanced stats in today's NBA: "I think today we've had a proliferation of geniuses who have come up with new formulae to prove what wins and what loses. … So everything being copacetic, maybe shots and making stops on demand wins a lot of games."
