You can always count on Spurs’ coach Gregg Popovich to call it how he sees it. Popovich was asked if he was surprised by Rondo’s comments and he wasn’t hypocrite with his answer.

Unfortunately in the sports’ world and beyond, a lot of these derogatory words are used without any consideration. Popovich is right, we can’t act like this is a brand new issue now that Bill Kennedy reported Rondo’s insults, it’s a reality. Hopefully respect for everybody will become the new reality and not something expressed through some nice statements after the fact but for now Popovich is not impressed.
