Knowing Coach Pop, he probably handed back the check to the waitress with a blank stare before walking out of the restaurant on his way to practice. Check out the details on Gregg Popovich making it rain:
Gregg Popovich is a better tipper than he is a basketball coach—and that’s saying something.
According to a Tuesday post by an NBA Reddit user, the 68-year-old San Antonio Spurs head coach left a $5,000 tip on an $815.73 bill at McEwen’s, a Memphis restaurant, the day before his team lost to the Grizzlies in Game 4 of the teams’ first-round playoff series.
The restaurant owner would not say whether Popovich had dined there recently, according to Kelsey Bradshaw of the San Antonio Express-News, but the signature looks like his. Plus, Bradshaw noted McEwen’s is known for its wine selection.
If you’re ever in Memphis you have to make it to Beal Street, the food and ambiance in this city is top quality.
