Pop should heed his own advice and not poke the bear that are the Spurs fanbase. We boo’d louder after you asked us to stop. Time for his ass to go.

lol old man needs to focus on ending a 10 game streak

if it’s about not poking the bear then why didn’t he stop the crowd from booing literally every star player on the opposing teams for the last 20 years? Why is today different if that’s all it’s about? Defensive attitude because he knows he was wrong but won’t admit it

Why didn’t he care when Doncic gets boo’d then drops 50 on us every season?
DarkSeneschal
I mean, fans boo all the time especially during free throws. This “don’t poke the bear” stuff makes no damn sense lol.

Pop really thought telling 17,000 people to not boo Kawhi would make them stop booing?
EzKarma69
This is probably more embarrassing than his in game comments. Why act like a superstar baby giving attitude in an interview. I get he always does this but really? today? with our losing streak? Puro af

Very strange of Pop. For me in these cases indifference wins over booing but objectively it was a quite surreal scene. Also because the fans booed him at least 5/6 times. Since the days of the Raptors.

KAWAHI won us a championship and we boo him?
Yes team effort but no way we win without him Championships are extremely rare
magestical_testicle
guys all this means is that kawhi is begging to come back but not if we keep booing so pop here is telling us to stfu and not ruin this

“If I don’t have a Spurs jersey on, they’re probably going to boo me the rest of my career,” Leonard said. “But I mean it is what it is. Like I said, they’re one of the best fans in the league and they’re very competitive. Once I step out on this basketball court out here, they show that they’re going for the other side.
“When I’m on the streets or going into restaurants, they show love. So it is what it is.”
I didn’t have Kawhi coming off looking good in a presser and Pop looking bad in that same presser in my 2023 bingo card.

How about he start explaining why we can’t get some W’s on the board.

What a scared old man.

What he should have said was “Look, I get fans are passionate, but I think it’s unfortunate that they keep booing a former player who helped bring us a championship. So I wish they’d show him more respect.”
I’d disagree with that, but it’s an understandable view. This don’t poke the bear nonsense is aloof and bratty.

This man is senile.

I’d prefer he had asked the fans to be classy and show love and respect, blabla. This explanation doesn’t sound plausible. So what this makes him more aggressive? Should the team be intimated by that? It’s like I respect Dillon for poking LBJ, instead of making fun of him after losing. It’s a competitive game.

I’ve been a spurs fan 30 years So who else shouldn’t I have booed?? Let’s cheer for Karl Malone then

Massive Pop L,
dude just answer the question honestly and simply. We’re not allowed to boo Kawhi, but youre allowed to be an ass to journalists? an embarrassing lack of awareness from Pop
Y_iseverynametaken_
I don’t know if Pop is going senile or going through a phase…. This was strange and odd, I’d love that same passion from him making plays for the team so we don’t look like a terrible high school team out there.

Booing is just weird af man, especially a former player who helped you win a championship, so childish
