Few can coach the game of basketball the way San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich can. 

Some nights, everything goes wrong for teams, and coaches are forced to play the bad guy, often times telling players things they don't want to hear.

Other nights, everything can go right for a team, as was the case for the Spurs on Tuesday night in their 111-92 rout of the Miami Heat in Game 3 of the NBA Finals.

Pop didn't let the night go to waste, using it to share some fun moments with a couple of his star players.

Tony Parker finished Game 3 with 15 points and four assists. Certainly not his best Finals game, but Pop was sure to let Parker know how valuable his leadership is to the team.

There was certainly more to like about Kawhi Leonard's performance, as he was the unquestioned player of the game, dropping a career-high 29 points.

Near the end of the contest, Pop let the San Diego State product know he was having himself a night.
