Greg Popovich takes selfie with fan, asks for $10 (PHOTO)

Gregg Popovich is usually pretty tightly wound leading up to a game, but the San Antonio Spurs coach is known to have a little fun too.

This was evident when a reddit user named skillzdan ran into Pop in New York City. The Spurs were playing the Knicks, but the team came into the city a day early. According to skillzdan, he ran into the coach and wine connoisseur outside of a bar and then asked for a selfie.

Surprisingly, Popovich agreed.

From skillzdan on reddit:

Ran into Pop on 45th street in Midtown Manhattan last night. He was headed into a bar with who I presume was his wife. I was subject to the shortest most Pop interview ever. "Hey Pop can I get a selfie?!" "Yes."

We followed him into the bar but he was in a semi-private area with a bunch of very decorated military men. On his way out a few of my friends snapped another pic with him and that was all she wrote. Tried coming up with some small talk to bullshit with him about but... It's Pop. No small talk with that guy. He jokingly asked for $10 after the selfie and then laughed his way out of my life.

Now if you mentioned that the 1999 Domaine de la Romance Conti La Tache is a full-bodied gem of a wine that goes well with chicken topped with Parmesan and prosciutto ... then your talking.

Little Spurs fan flips LeBron James the double bird (VIDEO)

Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James was heading toward the San Antonio Spurs' bench during Thursday night's nationally televised game when a young Spurs fan thought it would be funny to flip him the double bird while seated behind the San Antonio bench.

Here's a Vine of the kid giving King James the double-digit salute before an adult — presumably his own pops — puts the kibosh on the little imp's gesture.

The one time I would allow my kid to flip the bird. The Lebrick hate is real!!! http://t.co/brO1X73PeB https://t.co/GtcIuVKOk1”

Nuggets' Randy Foye gets beer shower during game (VIDEO)

Randy Foye was scrambling for a loose ball in the first quarter of the Denver Nuggets' game vs. the San Antonio Spurs at the Pepsi Center Tuesday night when he got tangled up with defender Kawhi Leonard.

Leonard's power sent Foye flying out of bounds and into a beer vendor, causing the brewmaster to spill all of his goods, much of which landed on the Nuggets guard.

Luckily, for Foye, it wasn't the nachos guy.

Gregg Popovich tells Danny Green to 'Shut the f--k up' (VIDEO)

After coming back from a 14-point deficit, the Spurs looked like they were ready for an amazing victory against the Nets at Barclays Center Wednesday night.

That was until Danny Green made a last second foul that sent Spurs coach Gregg Popovich into a frenzy.

A livid Pops started screaming "Shut the f--- up" at Green even before the players got near the bench.

The Nets held on for a 95-93 victory over the defending champions.

Popovich blows off Phil Jackson's 'dynasty' diss with a little humor: Report

Shortly after Phil Jackson was named Knicks president, he was discussing Carmelo Anthony's impending free agency and mentioned how Tim Duncan took less money to give the San Antonio Spurs more financial flexibility. Jackson went on to say that he didn't consider the Spurs to be a true dynasty despite having won four championships — now five after adding another in June — since 1999.

Spurs coach Gregg Popovich had remained pretty quiet about his longtime rival's subtle diss until it was mentioned Wednesday night before his team played the Nets in Brooklyn.

When reminded about Jackson's claim, the normally humorless Popovich came through with a response dripping with sarcasm.

“Ooh, that makes me mad,” Popovich said with a scrunched face — drawing laughs from the assembled media.

“Just write whatever you want, and I’ll say I said it. Make it good, though, so you get a promotion. Juicy, ugly, and I’ll say, ‘Yeah, I said it and I’m really sorry.’ … Have fun with it.”

Later, Pop asked about Phil's claim that the Spurs were not a dynasty. Pop scrunches his face, says "Ooooh that makes me mad."

Before that exchange, Popovich was asked about the challenges the new Knicks honcho is facing while trying to turn the team around.

“That’s his problem,” Popovich said. “I will spend no time thinking or wondering about that. I have a job. Why would I care about his job?” 

Thats more like the Pops we've all come to know and love.

Spurs fan falls from back of moving car during championship celebration (VIDEO)

It seems like everyone is falling for the San Antonio Spurs these days, but this might be taking the love a little too far.

After the Spurs defeated the Miami Heat 104-87 Sunday night to win the NBA Championship, the San Antonio area was filled with wild celebrations.

This fan in a white T-shirt was sitting on the back of a four-door vehicle when he fell off and plopped face-first into the pavement — and still stumbles right up.

That's a smash mouth fail dude.

Here's the video: (WARNING: Loud bone crunching sound)
