The long time coach of the Spurs is seating among the Italian fans for the game of the “Azzurri” against Ukraine and he is also scouting!

After all, Popovich is also the coach of Team USA and the main competition for his team in the upcoming FIBA World Cup will come from Europe.

Coach Messina joked in the press conference: “It was really nice from Pop to be here and watch the game. I think that proves that he is really scared for what he will face in the Olympics from Italy. That’s why he is scouting us”.
