Although players have come and gone, Pop is the anchor of Team USA
It’s good to see Gregg Popovich working with players and prepping the team that represents this great nation of ours. He wasn’t afraid to jump right in and exercise with his mentees.

This shot of Pop and Kemba Walker is an instant classic.

The head coach even pulled his best Aaron Sorkin walk-and-talk to give a little love to Derrick White.
As Gregg Popovich was getting Team USA to leave the court today, he was kind enough to give me a quick 1-on-1 on Derrick White being part of the Select Team. Pop was in a great mood. Thanks Pop!!#Spurs #TeamUSA #USABMNT @InstantReplaySA pic.twitter.com/Ff5aN9vM2P
