That boo is different, and you don't understand coz you only knows to run your mouth senseless…
Should’ve been delay of game on Pop
Popovish is the wokess coach
Pop is a brilliant guy. He doesn't understand stupidity. It must be difficult for him to live in our present idiocracy. Unfortunately, America is filled with disgusting people. They do have the right to boo, though. Also, I have seen him disrespect people himself in the past. He used to be awful to the late Craig Sager. He felt terrible about it when Sager got sick.
Wendy is having a seizure
I think he is trying to get him back
He's like the old man in the neighborhood, he has his scars, he's been through a lot. He served his country. If he wants to yell "Get off my lawn" at youngins he can do so and I'd be the guy telling them "Get off his lawn"… America dont respect their elders enough.
I’m sorry I love pop but that was freaking stupid
Pop took the L….booing bro? Its a sport and you either cheer or boo
Pop need to sit down
The Spurs crowd are absolute trash.Unappreciative, disrespectful and totally without class. They deserved their trash record and to be treated like garbage this season with their overhyped rookie.
POP: It's not classy, it's not who we are. OHHHHHH REALLLLY? So what K.L. did to San Antonio was classy? San Antonio was being nice in this situation. Otherwise, it's rotten tomato time and chunking them at the fool.
NBA is warm butter soft
I hate Stephen A SMith hes the biggest corny mf er. BUT MAN IS ESPN ON HIS NUTS. single reason I stopped watchingESPN and I been watching programming for 30+ years smh
Respect..That's the thing..Idiots.
The fans pay the bills. Coaches can be replaced but you cannot replace your fans.
He helped them win a championship. Be thankful cuz wouldn’t have won that last one without him.
Coach Pop still got a soft spot for Kahwi
And the losing streak will continue, sadly lol
He just wants him back
Yall were wrong about the Clippers tho
Respectfully if Jesus is shooting free throws for the opposing team I’m booing
They have the right to boo. He has the right to ask them to stop. Simple as that. And anyone who has a problem with his attitude in interviews is just being soft.
This is ridiculous. People pay their hard earned money to go to these games, they can cheer and boo as they please. This is America. These players make millions of dollars and they can’t take the crowd booing? Cry me a river
Why ask this baulding man he's only gonna praise you just to tear you down so screw this clown
Don’t know none of those big words
SAS is 100% correct…. Coach K did this a couple of years ago with Jeff Capel and I almost lost my mind….
Pop doesn’t have the right to do that. Total bs
If it was a playoff game, he wouldn’t ever make those comments to the crowd.
Much of the revenue comes from television not the stadium
Agree. It was weak sauce for sure. How many other dudes have we booed and then Pop has taken. Yeah. Zero. Disingenuous at minimum.
Who pop think he is…you can’t control the fans …they paid for the seat with there hard earned money ..they can boo if they want too
I paid to sit in these seats and good money I might add, I’ll Boo if I want.
Pop is a pmsing old lady at this point. Can't stand the dude. I personally think he's EXTREMELY overrated. He benefited from having four hall of famers on this team. We all know Timmy, the greatest PF of all time is the reasonn Pop had the career he had. Pop hasn't done CRAP since Timmy retired.
Mr Popovich is Simply The Best. Stand Down Steven. Ok
Pop loves yelling at people who makes millions less than him….
WHEN YOU BUY THAT TICKET, YOU LOSE CERTAIN PRIVILEGES IN THAT ARENA. HE HAS A RIGHT TO SPEAK UP AND TELL THE CROWD TO SHUT UP. YOU ON SAN ANTONIO SPURS PROPERTY YOU CAN BE KICKED OUT FOR NO REASON.
Those fans are not real Spurs fans. Just a bunch of low IQ individuals.
Greg is tampering in a crazy way, imagine the claw, wet bananas and vaseline next year.
Instead of going off to the crowd, Pop should have gone off on his players. They are 3-12 and playing like a bunch of bums.
Eh, I liked it. I'm not even a Kawhi fan like that but he gave that city a championship…
Yupp SAS hit the nail right on the head. I’ve always thought Pop was an arrogant low class person himself the way he treats reporters and carries himself. I found it ironic he was complaining about class as though it is not an issue for him. Dude is a clown. Can’t stand the guy
Spurs fan here but I don't agree w Pop on this one
Crowd boos Kawhi. He goes into load management mode for the next 3 games from it 😅
Kwahi deserved to be booed.
I agree it’s that simple💯
It's not just booing, it's because they were booing Kawhi Leonard. He's thinking fans need to show some respect to him for helping win Spurs championship. But I think he should have said it after the game at press conference. And asking nicely from the heart not telling. He would get a much better reaction
