Press play on the video above. Do you hear that? No, your ears are not deceiving you. That's a song by Israeli rappers Arik Henig and X Beautiful called "Popovich." It is, of course, an ode to Spurs coach Gregg Popovich. And, up until recently, everyone pretty much assumed that Coach Pop wasn't aware of the song's existence. But, earlier this week, Stephen Jackson came out and revealed that Pop not only knows about the song, but that he also used it a few months back to prank the entire Spurs team.
"He was showing some film of me messing up, getting on me real hard," Jackson told Spurs Nation. "I was like, 'You know what, Pop? I don't even want to play basketball. I'd rather do this. Kick it!' And they played two of my videos. And, Pop was like, 'You know what? Don't worry about it, Jack. I got my own video.' It was pretty cool."
Pretty cool? We would absolutely love to see footage of the Spurs players huddled in the film room watching S-Jack and Pop argue over who has the better rap video. How great would that be?
