Greg Popovich gets on the PA mic to tell fans to stop booing Kawhi during free throws [video]
[Ari Meirov]: Never seen this before in sports: Spurs coach Gregg Popovich got on the mic in middle of the game tonight and told fans to stop booing Kawhi Leonard, who years ago forced his way out of San Antonio.
Not sure how to feel about this. On one hand, you can say it’s classy for Pop to do that. On the other, booing is the tamest and least controversial thing that can come out of fans’ mouths, so there’s nothing exactly bad happening.
I know the relationship between the organisation and Kawhi was pretty rocky before Kawhi left but imagine booing your finals mvp
They boo anyone taking free throws pretty much anywhere in the league. Love popovich but seems more ‘old man yells at clouds’ unless there was more going on than straight boos.
Or he didn’t want to poke the bear
