Gregg Popovich urges Spurs fans to stop booing Kawhi Leonard, fans boo louder

Something strange and likely unprecedented in the NBA happened in the first half of Clippers-Spurs. Kawhi Leonard was at the line and the entire arena was booing him like they have been doing every time he visits San Antonio since his controversial exit from the franchise. Then all of a sudden, Gregg Popovich grabbed the mic and addressed the crowd to ask them to stop.
