San Antonio Spurs Coach Gregg Popovich turned music critic during Friday’s media gathering at NBA All-Star weekend.

Asked ‘what does it mean at the celebrity game, Justin Bieber is going to be with with us [in the celebrity game],’ Popovich said, ‘It would be disingenuous of me if I told you how excited I was to see Justin.’
