Coach Pop is never here for laughs in the pre-game interviews, or the mid-game interviews, or the post game interviews either.
If a journalist comes at Pop with a nonsense question, Pop has no problem bringing him or her back down to Earth.
Today, a reporter asked Coach Popovich how he and the Spurs are “enduring” last season’s woes, on the very day that the Spurs dealt Kawhi Leonard up North to the Toronto Raptors.
Objectively speaking, this is not a crazy question, but Pop was having one of his days, and this reporter chose the wrong adjective, time, and place to get his point across. This is a man who lost his wife last year, in addition to being one of the most vocal and most critical Trump opposers.
So, the Spurs’ Head Coach took this question as an opportunity to educate the reporter asking him the question on the definition of “endure.”
Flip the page to watch Coach Pop explain why he and the Spurs aren’t really “enduring” anything because at the end of the day, they are still getting paid millions of dollars just to play basketball.
