LeBron James had nothing but good words to say about the legendary head coach of the San Antonio Spurs, Gregg Popovich.

James called Popovich a ‘very educated and very smart man’.

“Very educated, very smart man. He comes from a sense of being a human being. Knowing what’s going on in our country. Knowing the difference between right & wrong & the challenges we have to go through.

I love Coach Pop not only as a coach but more as a man,” James said about Popovich, via Ryan Ward of Lakers Daily.
