Pop probably knew what he was saying was wrong about the blowouts, but he’s responding like any coach would respond. The best thing he can do at this moment is keep his team’s morale up and if he places these high expectations on his team he’s just putting more pressure/stress on them.
I was thirty seconds into the video, before I restarted it, thinking that I must have missed something. How could you not include the original question...
LMAO why is Pop straight up lying. Less than 10 years ago we beat Nigeria by like 70+ points. In 2016 we won the Olympic Finals by 30 points. In 2016 we beat Australia by 10 points, in 2012 we beat them by 33 points. In 2008 we beat them by 31 points. So Pop...about that being untrue...
USA went 13 years without losing a game if they had NBA players from 2006-2019, and beat Nigeria by 83 points in the 2012 Olympics. So no Pop, it hasn't always been like this
The competition isn't always the same. His point was that you blow out the bad teams, but you won't always be able to blow out the good teams all the time.

But I’m sure you will eventually claim your statement was out of context or you “misspoke”. Once a great coach, now just an arrogant ignoramus.
The biggest difference now is that the NBA isn’t the only high level professional league anymore. Lots of international players who train just as hard and commit their lives to basketball. Game is world wide now.
Also... I think the style of play doesn’t benefit the American anymore lol. Back then Americans had the more dominant bigs by a LARGE margin. Now it’s fast pace, shoot & pass type shit and the international guys have always played that way.
Why was Popovich upset. Guy asked a question a lot of fans are asking. Should the fans not expect this team to win. Should they expect this team to lose. Do you need more talent. Or do we need better coaching.
The dream team players were great no doubt and so are the players for USA today. the difference is the competition in other countries is much better now than it ever used to be. Just look at the NBA one and four of the players is from Europe and mvp for past 3 yeara is European - joker n giannis
Stop plying pros and bring back the college kids for the Olympics, and bythe way Poopovich was wrong, the victories during exhibition games were lopsided for the USA

Historically all USA teams have dominated by a large margin. Some a bit closer than others. This team=0-2 in prelims. Be frustrated with that POP. My crystal ball says Silver medal at best. 😳
THE PROBLEM IS THE ONLY PERSON HEATED AND GIVES A DAMN ABOUT WORKING HARD IS GREG!!!!!! No disrespect to Dame but this team is lacking a step-up leader, and players who understand the purpose of playing both sides of the ball.
Coach Pop has benefited from three Hall of Famer‘s which put him on the map. If people think coaches win championships, then wouldn’t they win all the time? No, they don’t because coaches don’t shoot the basketball do they! The players win championships not coaches. Parker Dunkin and Ginobil have all the rings because of their Hall of Fame play,..it’s not any coach!! The quality of players at this level is so close, across the board that coaching really doesn’t play a significant role.. it’s about the best players on the court period!
I think it’s a combination of both I’ve watched and understand the game too much to think otherwise, football, basketball and many team sports I’ve seen the best team lost , esp in knockout, World Cup Olympic etc .
Fraudovich just being a cranky old man cause he's been exposed and hasn't won a thing since the Duncan era ended. To be completely honest, Fraudovich only looked better than he really was cause his organization blatantly tanked to get Duncan, and he's now being found out. He needs to just retire and focus on his senile old man political rants.
I mean the reporter isn’t wrong. He has blown them out before. Notice how pop rephrased it at the end of his statement to say yes it’s happened before but it’s incorrect. Liberal pop and his liberal vocabulary.
@@03_bagasprasetyawibowo83 as a Spurs fan myself, this old geaser needs to go. He’s been exposed without Tim Duncan and everytime he loses he throws a hissy fit over legitimate questions about himself being out cached
It’s like pop is breastfeeding his little children that can’t take care of themselves. Just admit this team has no heart and should be embarrassed for losing.
A man that can walk will exploit the one learning to crawl. Once the crawler begins to walk and run the exploitation will diminish. Other nations are catching up. The US has a narrow gap of improvement unless they start flying around the court. Nigeria was going be getting beat by record score all the time
Speaking like a frustrated man whose had to deal with coaching a mediocre team since Kawhi left. It’s always the players who make the team, not the coach.

Are that dumb? USA WON 2016. GO READ STUPID SOURCES WORST THAN WIKIPEDIA. EVEN WIKIPEDIA IS BETTER THAN TROLL FARMS.
Historically all USA teams have dominated by a large margin. Some a bit closer than others. This team=0-2 in prelims. Be frustrated with that POP. My crystal ball says Silver medal at best. 😳
Not even any medal.
THE PROBLEM IS THE ONLY PERSON HEATED AND GIVES A DAMN ABOUT WORKING HARD IS GREG!!!!!! No disrespect to Dame but this team is lacking a step-up leader, and players who understand the purpose of playing both sides of the ball.
That's a coaching issue.
Coach Pop has benefited from three Hall of Famer‘s which put him on the map. If people think coaches win championships, then wouldn’t they win all the time? No, they don’t because coaches don’t shoot the basketball do they! The players win championships not coaches. Parker Dunkin and Ginobil have all the rings because of their Hall of Fame play,..it’s not any coach!! The quality of players at this level is so close, across the board that coaching really doesn’t play a significant role.. it’s about the best players on the court period!
I think it’s a combination of both I’ve watched and understand the game too much to think otherwise, football, basketball and many team sports I’ve seen the best team lost , esp in knockout, World Cup Olympic etc .
Playing outside the USA develops players to a better level. NBA is all about slam dunks. Get rid of the 3 points shot.
Fraudovich just being a cranky old man cause he's been exposed and hasn't won a thing since the Duncan era ended. To be completely honest, Fraudovich only looked better than he really was cause his organization blatantly tanked to get Duncan, and he's now being found out. He needs to just retire and focus on his senile old man political rants.
I mean the reporter isn’t wrong. He has blown them out before. Notice how pop rephrased it at the end of his statement to say yes it’s happened before but it’s incorrect. Liberal pop and his liberal vocabulary.
Pop for president lmfao he put them in their place 🤣
Horrible coaching! No more dream teams for the USA.
Popovich is too busy being woke. Bring back Coach K.
Pop 🐐
This isn't really as heated exchange on substance. This is just Pop getting annoyed (and rightly so) with a reporter that doesn't have manners.
Pop is the idiot here. And I hate the media, but the reporter is right.
hey..popovich, u lost! period... retire🤣🤣🤣
Your comments is just unnecessary, truly sad
@@03_bagasprasetyawibowo83 looks like you cant handle truth and facts... truely sadder
@@jimmyj3020 so just because they're losing 2 exhibition games popovic needs to retired? That's what u called facts? Wow so sad
@@jimmyj3020 the fact that he told pop to retire after losing 2 exhibition games is just unnecessary lol
@@03_bagasprasetyawibowo83 as a Spurs fan myself, this old geaser needs to go. He’s been exposed without Tim Duncan and everytime he loses he throws a hissy fit over legitimate questions about himself being out cached
Under 19 basketball usa team now is a world champion is much better than this us team..
Pop is so overrated
Jordan era > Lebron era. Clearly.
Lol it's should be kD . As far as a know kD leading this team not LeBron why the f*CK LeBron suddenly on the conversation lol. Rent free LMAO
That cackling hen wouldn’t let him talk, how rude
It’s like pop is breastfeeding his little children that can’t take care of themselves. Just admit this team has no heart and should be embarrassed for losing.
A man that can walk will exploit the one learning to crawl. Once the crawler begins to walk and run the exploitation will diminish.
Other nations are catching up. The US has a narrow gap of improvement unless they start flying around the court.
Nigeria was going be getting beat by record score all the time
Poopovich had better improve at making excuses for this dumpster fire team.
Let Greg finish your their for coach pop no one their to hear about what a reporter gotta say or ask
Speaking like a frustrated man whose had to deal with coaching a mediocre team since Kawhi left. It’s always the players who make the team, not the coach.
