Gregg Popovich coaching

The image above is how San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich looked with three minutes remaining in Game 5 of the NBA Finals and his team up by nearly 20 points. He was about to win his fifth NBA title and the guy still had his arms folded and a scowl on his face. Classic Pop.

But why did he have such a stern look on his face? He knew that when the moment to finally celebrate came around, he’d be letting down his hair and untying that tie.

And how about his face when Kawhi Leonard was named NBA Finals MVP? Have you ever seen this emotion from Pop?

Apparently Pop does smile and show positive emotion. And he does that when all the work is finally done.
