San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich has made it loud and clear he’s not a fan of in-game interviews... or answering questions in general. But something he seems to be a fan of is mind games.
When Shaquille O'Neal was playing for the Phoenix Suns, the hack-a-Shaq strategy was at an all-time high. Teams would foul Shaq, forcing him to the line where he struggled.
During this specific game, Popovich clearly planned in pre-game to hack Shaq almost directly after tip-off.
On Tuesday night during an in-game interview, ESPN's Doris Burke followed her first question with a witty response, resulting in one of the quickest interviews ever and a shocked Popovich.
