Everybody agrees that Greg Popovich is one of the best coaches in the league. Now he can lay claim to the league’s — if not the entire universe’s — best sense of humor. To briefly set the stage, The Big Nickname has gone on record of late being incredibly chappassed about the Spurs playing “hack-a-shaq”, calling the technique “cowardly.” Pop has a little fun with this in the first game of the season.

If that’s not the greatest thing ever done in the context of sport, I’m not sure what is.
