Spurs Coach Gregg Popovich Tells LeBron James Critics to 'Go Swim in the Lake'
San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich knows a thing or two about basketball, so when he talks, everyone should listen to what he says.
Before Wednesday night's game between the Spurs and Cleveland Cavaliers, Popovich had nothing but kind words to say about Cavs superstar LeBron James, per ESPN's Dave McMenamin:
That's high praise for a four-time league MVP coming from a coach with five championship rings.
Considering they have squared off in the NBA Finals three times since 2007, Popovich has studied James enough to know just how good he is. There are a lot of critics out there, but that's only because James is held to such a high standard.
For anyone who wants to nitpick James' game, listen to what Popovich has to say first. There's a reason he will go down as one of the greatest coaches ever.
