San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich is a straight shooter. He is going to tell you how it is, even if the truth hurts. 

This usually goes for his players and the media, but Popovich took exception to how fans were acting at home last night. So, Popovich did what only he can do, call them out mid-game. 

How? By grabbing the arena microphone, of course.

Spurs fans were booing Kawhi Leonard every time he touched the basketball as the Spurs took on the Los Angeles Clippers. Leonard spent the first seven years of his career with San Antonio, helping them win a Larry O’Brien trophy in the NBA Finals in 2014. 

However, Leonard’s tenure with the squad did not end harmoniously, as he requested a trade from the team.

Because of that, Spurs fans were booing him, and Popovich set the record straight.

Popovich was asked about his spontaneous act after the game as well.
