[Saba Sports News] San Antonio Spurs’ Coach Gregg Popovich, with Victor Wembanyama on the Team, Reacts Comically to Steve Kerr’s Comments.
Popovich had a humorous response when asked about Kerr’s recent statement that Wembanyama’s presence had rejuvenated him. Popovich jokingly questioned the narrative, saying, ‘What was I being rejuvenated from? Was I in a mental institution, or was I depressed and curled up in my bedroom or something? Steve’s quite the character.’
It’s worth noting that Popovich and Kerr have a close relationship; Popovich coached Kerr during his playing days, and their playful banter is well-known. Popovich, at 74, remains as engaged as ever, but don’t expect him to provide a serious answer about his motivation.
