The Bradley Beal-Gregg Popovich love fest continues. The San Antonio Spurs coaching icon recently made waves for praising the Washington Wizards guard to the press at the Team USA training camp. But more specifically for calling Beal “thick”.
“He's stronger than I expected. He's a strong young man. I always used to think of him as wiry and thin, but I was totally wrong. He's thick,” the Spurs coach said of Beal a few days prior.
But now it was Bradley's turn to react to his time with Gregg Popovich. The Spurs coach has surely left a lasting impact on Beal, as he was absolutely gushing over Coach Pop after being asked about his time with Team USA, via NBC Sports Washington's Chase Hughes:
“It's so crazy, like you hear about how great he is, but he's really great. He is a really good coach, man. He's a great communicator, he's a great leader, he understands us. Like, he's a players coach and he's intense. He gives you everything. He can be cool, he can laugh with you. He can be serious, he can be firm with you, he can be mad at you, but it won't carry over,” Beal said.
Could this be a sign for a potential Bradley Beal to the San Antonio Spurs rumor? Probably not. But Spurs fans can dream, can't they?
