Did Spurs Coach Gregg Popovich Leave A $5K Tip At A Memphis Restaurant?

Someone named Gregg Popovich apparently was in a very giving mood Friday.

A photo of a receipt from McEwen’s in Memphis, Tenn., was posted to Reddit on Tuesday, and it showed that someone left a $5,000 tip on an $815.73 bill late last week. And the signature pretty clearly says “Gregg Popovich.”

But was this the head coach of the San Antonio Spurs?

Well, the Spurs were in Memphis at that time, as they played Games 3 and 4 of their first-round NBA playoff series against the Grizzlies on Thursday and Saturday. And Popovich reportedly has left pretty sizable tips in the past.

McEwen’s owner Bert Smithe wouldn’t confirm with mySA.com whether the Popovich we’re all thinking of was the one who left the enormous tip. But it appears the Internet already has made that decision for him.
