Always one for a little bit of dry humor, Gregg Popovich had a great response upon finding out that two of the San Antonio Spurs' "Big Three" had tied for 12th in the MVP voting results.

Of course, Popovich probably couldn't care less about the award as his primary focus in on returning to the NBA Finals.

But it's worth noting that the Spurs were one of only two teams (the Los Angeles Clippers being the other) to have two players receive MVP votes. Furthermore, it's the second consecutive season that Parker and Duncan have finished side-by-side in the voting results. In 2012-13, they finished sixth and seventh with 86 points and 65 points, respectively.
