VIDEO: Gregg Popovich Jokingly Trolls Kyle Anderson With NSFW Call-Out on Way to Bench
By Jerry Trotta
Monday night was a special one for Gregg Popovich and the San Antonio Spurs, as Tony Parker's No. 9 jersey was retired into the rafters of the AT&T Center. Given the emotions associated with that ceremony, it's fair to say that Popovich was in rare form. Well, the five-time NBA champion just so happened to hilariously troll former Spur Kyle Anderson, who is now on the Memphis Grizzlies, as he was walking to the bench. The 26-year-old winger even took to Twitter after the game to acknowledge the humorous encounter.
And the enigma that is Popovich remains undefeated, even though his Spurs lost to the Grizzlies 113-109 to drop to 5-5 in 2019.
Only Pop would be able to yell profanities at one of his former players and have that player approach him with nothing but smiles. If that's not a testament to everything we love about the Spurs head coach, then nothing is.
