Pop needs to stay in his lane. He’s 100% wrong here.
Everyone and their “feelings”. I guess Pop is now a part of the “Feelings Police”. Give me a break!
Casual fans don't appreciate that Pop genuinely loves his players, even if things don't work out on his team. Telling an entire arena to stop booing his friend is an expression of that love.
Pop needs to get off his knees. Are you coaching the Clippers or the Spurs?
Do what you do best Greg! Toe that line until you retire. So exhausting.
Pop misses him BADDDD
You don’t see coaches who stand up for the game like Pop
just bad managing on the whole spurs organization for letting him go
Fuck the spurs but it would actually be awesome to see Kawhi wear the black and silver again. I thought he would retire a spur. Classy move by Pop too.
this reported did a decent job interviewing him
I like kawhi, took down the warriors dynasty, always works hard, he even said he was open to talk to wemby anytime he wanted so that just goes to show what his character is like
That statement "winning doesn't always show that you're getting better" is pretty telling.
That was Hoosiers shit lol love Pop man
Aye Kawhi getting good at these interviews man lol.
Kawhi: im a fun guy
Pop: no, I understand but-
Kawhi: IM A FUN GUY
Didn't he win them a Championship there?!?!! How ungrateful can you be?!?! They were rebuilding, so he moved on, now y'all boooo. Dum🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️☠️
He has always defended Kwahi but it’s kind of embarrassing really… Pop should be on the hot seat but he just got paid. They are starting out 3-12, will Wemby just be the next guy that gets away from SA and Pop as soon as he can? Possibly… Murray also did Demar Derozen… They haven’t even been linked to a quality FA in a long while. All the Die hard Spurs fans defend him but he’s a delusional, opinionated old man. I think it was a mistake keeping him there. How many HOF coaches stay for a full rebuild? How many losing seasons does he get before the standard is raised back up some?
Well done coach Pop!
Pop said I dont want to trade you then, but I have no option coz you're turning into a diva.
Kawhi and Wemby huh? Pop know what he doing
Kawhi and Wemby on the same team
Pop a legend man
Kawhi and Victor Duo would be deadly.
tampering fines coming
As a Spurs fan it hurts me to see him in a Clippers Jersey. He brought us a ton of joy for many years since we acquired him from the Indiana Pacers. It pissed me off to see our own “fans” boo him after all that he did for our organization, our city and our community. I hope he has a great and prosperous life not only through his career but even after his playing days are over. Thank you Kawhi!
We would gladly take him back lol
what did he say to him
That folks right there… Is what a young man, looking for greener pastures, comes back as an older man, and realizes what he's missed out on becuase of decisions his younger slef made. The emotion in his face and quivering answers says it all.
Fire pop
was THAT the dagger?
Kawhi gave them championship and they boo him? Ungrateful fans.
This just shows how soft the league has become! 🤦♂️
Pop giving that "Kawhi, come back to me" energy.
Wow nice good coach i love kawhi
They are like Sir Alex Ferguson and CR7
Pop "Look here kawhi we got wemby over here and he needs a father figure…I know your a cyborg but you think maybe?"
He telling coach to come get him 😂😂😂
Kawhi the goat
Kawhi Said, Don't worry coach, I'm gonna be back soon, Clippers are already overloaded with Superstars, I can't be famous there anymore 😁
The fans have the right to cheer or boo who they want. Besides they were not loudly booing him. Pop is so out of touch now, guy is old. Retire.
WELCOME BACK KAWHI ALAM NYO NA BABALIK NA SIYA SA SPURS
As a Spurs fan I too feel bad for the way some fans treat Kawhi. Some of the best moments I have are when I see him as a Spur on YouTube videos. I’m very happy for the time he was here. He will always be a member of the Spurs family. Sure I miss him. But, I also understand he wanted to go home. Thanks Kawhi for the memories.
I don't care that Popovich addressed the fans if it were after the game. I just think doing it in the game and the over dramatics was uncalled for and Pop should get a warning for disrupting the game. Being overzealous in your virtue is a bad look and cheesy. For the love of God it's just fans trying to get in an opponent and ex players head that didn't leave on the best of terms.
Kawhis face when asked about it was priceless
If they still had Kawhi, they wouldn't have had Wemby
So weak, lol Pop think he is the main character
Who's side is Pop on???
as far as i know kawhi decide to left spurs because of the front office who neglect his injury for years, thats why he go to raptor and after that to clips..
so its good to see him interact with pops..
Pop is slipping
Pop out there re-recruiting 😂 that was basically grounds to get hit for tampering by the league 😂😂
Kawhi: I really didnt expect this coach…I mean Harden joining Clippers… you think i could go back to Spurs and team up with Wemby?
Pop: sure…
