Gregg Popovich takes no questions in season-ending press conference

Gregg Popovich said goodbye to the regular season on Wednesday night the only way he knows how — by hardly giving writers and reporters the time of day. After his team lost a meaningless game to the Los Angeles Lakers and finished with the best record in the Western Conference, the San Antonio Spurs coach said just 46 words.

“We had a good regular season and now the postseason starts,” Pop told reporters. “The first game is at noon on Sunday and we will see who it is. The two teams that are playing right now, so I am going to go watch them. You guys take care.”

And that was that. Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-News posted a photo of the entire transcript on Twitter. It looks like a second-grade essay.

Is taking no questions at all better than answering a question with just two words? Man I love this guy.
