Over the past two decades, Paul and Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich have had their fair share of dances. It’s 81 to be exact, including 18 playoff games (Paul has lost 11 of them).

The San Antonio Spurs added more veteran experience over the offseason with the acquisitions of Chris Paul and Harrison Barnes.

Point guard Chris Paul, the San Antonio Spurs’ newest member, fielded many questions during the NBA’s media day. One question that got a big laugh was when one reporter mentioned that for years, head coach Gregg Popovich used to despise Paul.

Gregg Popovich revealed he "despised" Chris Paul for years due to Paul's high basketball IQ and competitive nature. Now, the two join forces in San Antonio for the 2024-25 season.
