They've been together for 15 years, but Gregg Popovich isn't quite done with bothering Tony Parker.
When Parker was a 19-year-old rookie from France, Popovich would reduce Parker to tears by constantly berating the point guard, taking it upon himself to toughen Parker up.
Four championships later, Parker's proven himself a million times over, and Popovich's approach has softened as a result.
