[Highlight] Gregg Popovich grabs the mic to address the San Antonio crowd booing Kawhi Leonard: “Excuse me for a second. Can we stop the booing and let these guys play? It’s not who we are. Knock off the booing”

  1. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a coach do something like this in my life. And I honestly doubt I’ll ever see it again.

  2. wanderinglittlehuman

    We went on a run after this so I’m not complaining lol

  3. skyelightd

    Guy got TRAITOR chants when he left. People don’t forget.

  4. Crowd has been booing even louder and our guys have started hitting more shots lol. Galaxy brain move from Pop to get our guys boosted!

  5. burnerbabyburns

    I respect it but this is definitely a rare L from Pop. It’s sports let them boo lmfao

  6. Mr_Pizza_Puncher

    As a Spurs fan I feel so conflicted about this

  7. Balls_of_Adamanthium

    Spurs fans really ignored Pop’s sanctimonious ass and booed him louder lmao.

  8. Would’ve been hilarious if they started booing louder

    Edit: I guess they did lmao

    I didn’t even know you could do this in the middle of the game. It feels like a highschool teacher telling kids to quiet down

    If I’m Kawhi, the booing doesn’t throw me off, that does tho.

  11. The way this season’s been going I was half expecting the refs to T-up Pop for that.

  12. explosionjesus

    Saying this to try to stop the booing is about as useless as actually booing Kawhi.

    The only time I’ve seen Spurs fans hate on Pop… they’re hatred for Kawhi runs deep lol

  14. Every team should get 1 turn with the mic each game and can push whatever narrative they want

    I’m a bit conflicted, on the one hand I’m so over the Kawhi hate. However, everybody boo’s the opposing team everywhere…that’s pretty much what “home court advantage” is haha

    Booing is part of the fun. These tickets are expensive Pop. Let them boo.

  17. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen anything like that in all my years of watching this league.

  18. icantfeelmyface

    One of the oddest things I’ve ever seen in an NBA game

    That’s a pretty weak move from Pop, ngl. It’s a spectator sport. They’re not booing an injured player. Why do you think you all get paid so well? Because of the fans.

  20. What are the fans suppose to do cheer up and down for him?!😂

  21. Fuck_The_Rocketss

    I’m sorry, but that’s absurd. They’re booing, not hurling trash and personal insults. People boo former players all the goddamn it’s not a fuckin hate crime. Hell, it’s fun. Sports “hate” is fun.

    Ngl that’s lame from Pop. You want your home crowd to get in the opponent’s head if possible. Really weird to ask your home crowd to get less into the game.

  23. Weak shit from Pop. Kawhi deserves every bit of hate from San Antonio that he gets

  24. jak_d_ripr

    I don’t think there’s anything wrong with Spurs fans booing Kawhi, dude left under some pretty ugly circumstances and the fans are allowed to voice their displeasure over that.

  25. Impossible-Joke2867

    I’m glad that my feelings of Pop being a kinda self important type is consistently reinforced. Glad the crowd booed him, they pay your fuckin bills they can do whatever the fuck they want.
