Gregg Popovich on the Warriors: ‘I’d go buy a ticket and go watch them play’

Gregg Popovich gave the Golden State Warriors the highest praise that he could probably give any team – he’d pay to see them play.

Popovich told ESPN Radio on Friday that he’s never thought of a team more than he’s thought about the Warriors, and that he loves watching them play basketball.

When Popovich is this effusive in his praise for pretty much anything, you have to listen. To say he’s envious about another team and would pay to watch them play? That’s really something.

Popovich is on record as hating the three point shot, too, but he admits that the Warriors are the best at it. It’s not exactly new, but to hear Pop say it is a big deal.
