Gregg Popovich from all accounts is an extremely intelligent, funny and engaging personality behind closed doors and around those he respects he is even legendary for his distaste and complete refusal to provide anything to most reporters, sideline reporters especially.
Every once in a while he will give reporters a little nugget to run with though like he did Friday after a morning shoot around when asked about thicker forward Boris Diaw.
He said he makes sure to give Diaw garbage time minutes to help him lose weight.

This is beyond hilarious and a very Gregg Popovich thing to say and do.
Boris Diaw’s affinity for cheeseburgers and good wine are well-known and the Frenchman has dealt with weight issues since his days in Phoenix.
Spurs fans can only hope Boris Diaw is seeing plenty of court time at the end of games the rest of this postseason.
