Tom Brady’s Two-Word Reaction Speaks Volumes After Coach Pop Calls for End to Booing Kawhi Leonard

The GOAT has just become a fan! The San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich, recently set an example for other coaches to follow. Sport is relentless and there are several matches when opposition players cop a lot of booing and jeering from the crowd. During one such instance, where the booing got too much, Coach Pop stepped in to make a move that has Tom Brady admiring him.

During the NBA game between the LA Clippers and the San Antonio Spurs, one of the NBA veterans was at the center of some brutal booing and was saved by an unlikely messiah. Taking matters into his own hands, Coach Pop walked the talk and showed how a coach should behave. The action was appreciated by NFL legend Tom Brady on Instagram.

Tom Brady praises Popovich for sportsman spirit

Kawhi Leonard, the 2X NBA champion was playing the game against the Clippers. However, during the matchup, Leonard was getting butchered by the crowd who were constantly booing him. Coach Pop at once grabbed the arena mic and pleaded for the fans to stop booing immediately. The video was shared by Bleacher Report and got a lovely comment from Tom Brady saying “Love this” on the post.

The former QB was indeed happy with the way in which the coach handled the situation and asked for the crowd to be respectful. Although the NFL legend is known for his hyper-competitive nature, even he acknowledged the awesome display of sportsmanship. The coach’s action was reciprocated by gracious applause as the Clippers Power forward was looking frustrated with the ongoing buzz around the stadium. It was a terrific example set by the coach who showcased the importance of respecting players and their decisions.

But Coach Pop is not the only coach that Brady has shown appreciation for recently. Despite having a dismal season and receiving widespread criticism from everyone, Patriots HC Bill Belichick is still revered by Brady.

Brady couldn’t imagine Belichick away from Patriots

During a recent appearance on the Stephen A Smith Show, the future Hall of Famer expanded his thoughts on the New England Patriots dismal season, sitting at 2-8. With such a poor record, many are speculating whether coach Bill Belichick will still be with the team next season.

Brady admitted the thought of Belichick not coaching in New England is hard for him to grasp, after all, he’s been there for the past 24 seasons. “I think he’s an incredible coach. He’s the best coach, in my belief, in the history of the game,” said Brady.

The 7x Super Bowl winner added to his statements, “You gotta have a lot of things in place for the organization to be successful. I don’t think he’s probably coaching much different now than when we’re undefeated in 2007.” 

The Patriots’ HC and GM has always had a reputation for being a defensive mastermind but this season, it seems like the magic is gone. With the Patriots desperately trying not to finish last this season, it does seem like Belichick’s time with the Pats might be over.
