Spurs Coach Hates The Three Point Shot

Gregg Popovich, coach of the San Antonio Spurs, had this to say about the 3-point shot to CBS Sports:

“I still hate it,” Popovich said. “I’ll never embrace it. I don’t think it’s basketball. I think it’s kind of like a circus sort of thing. Why don’t we have a 5-point shot? A 7-point shot? You know, where does it stop, that sort of thing. But that’s just me, that’s just old-school. To a certain degree, you better embrace it or you’re going to lose. And every time we’ve won a championship, the 3-point shot was a big part of it. Because it is so powerful and you’ve gotta be able to do it. And nobody does it better than Golden State, and you know where they’re at. So it’s important. You can’t ignore it.”

If Steph Curry somehow was traded to the Spurs he’d be hitting lay ups and only lay ups.
