now, gregg popovich has won four nba titles. three-time coach of the year. annual salary of $6 million. yet, from looking at his face, you would think he was the recently fired assistant manager of a golf club warehouse. interviewing popovich is like trying to get your teenage son to come down from dinner. he treats every interaction with the media like he's the first suspect being interrogate on an episode of "law & order: svu" or something. doris burke was tasked in trying to get answers out of popovich. and here's how that went. >> what are your objectives as far as lebron are concerned? >> are you serious? keep him from scoring. >> what do you want to see in the fourth? >> i would like to see lebron play poorly. >> sounds good, pop. mike? >> jimmy: seems like he'd be a fun guy to play charades with. by the way, i want to show you something we dug up. this is greg popovich's college yearbook photo. his foet is not only deadly serious, look at his bio. his bio says, his future plans include happiness. i'm sorry that didn't work out. i would be angry, too,

. >> let me ask you, who's a better coach, gregg popovich of the spurs or tywin lancaster of the heat>> popovich. he has an old school way of coaching the guys. >> yeah, popovich knows about the game of basketball, but tywin knows about the game of thrones. >> that's true. he's a good coach. >> what do you think about the nba finals new four-point line? think it's a bad idea? or makes the game more exciting? >> makes the game more exciting. i'm really excited to see this game. >> will v. stiviano be able to penetrate the heat defense? >> he's going to go left, he's going to go right, he's going to go right up the middle. >> i think so. not only that, he's going to go up, above the hoop. >> even with the giant visor? >> he's going to be looking for the fouls, because he's got excellent free throw shooting. >> yeah. >> which offensive strategy for the spurs has worked best, delivery or dijourno? >> i like the way they mix it up. the way popp plays the offense is unbelievable. you never know what to expect from them. >> so a little delivery, a little -- >> absolutely, absolutely. >> got

head coach gregg popovich may have been mocking james when he began counting his titles on his hand.'s coffee. you might remember, james made a bold prediction about winning more than seven times when he arrived in miami. i do remember that. >>> to baseball now, where clayton kershaw etched his name in the record books with a huge night in l.a. >> 0-2. done. he's got it. >> that's a no-hitter for the dodgers ace. he struck out 15 rockies on the night and his teammates shower him with love and a little ice-cold gatorade during the celebration. dodgers dominate winning 8-0. all right. was that okay, mike? >> that was fantastic. >> excellent! >> i need your affirmation so badly. >> you could have a whole new career. >> yeah, excellent. >>> let's get a check on your weather with nbc meteorologist bill karins -- >> bob costas, look out! >> yeah, right. all right. what's the weather? >> unfortunately, we had another bad tornado or two yesterday. this one was in south dakota, hit a little, small town called wesion i wessington springs and it went right through the town, and this was a prett

[ applau

. >> gregg popovich insists there is no animosity between the spurs and the heat as they get set fornal rematch. earlier this week the always stoic tim duncan said san antonio is going to get it done this time. the media ran with it as if duncan had pulled a joe namath in super bowl iii. >> i don't know what i said that was so bad. i said i wanted to win the finals. i don't use that as motivation. i mean, i think when you're in the finals you're supposed to think you're going to win, you know? tim duncan believes they are going to win. the miami heat believe that they are going to win. we wouldn't be here, so, uhm, i don't know. i just think we got microphones in our face too much. >> there you go. it's classic case of too much time after the semis to the nba finals. >> right. >> yeah. >> everybody wants to win. that's no secret. >> i have a live studio audience over here. >> wow. >> which see justin sit there is? he wants to be a sportscaster. you guys have any good advice for him? >> talk to dennis o'donnell.

very special night for coach gregg popovich and star forward tim duncan. both had been part of all five spurs championship teams over the last three decades. (mother vo) when i was pregnant... i got more advice than i knew what to do with. what i needed was information i could trust on how to take care of me and my baby. luckily, unitedhealthcare has a simple program that helps moms stay on track with their doctors and get the right care and guidance-before and after the baby is born. simple is good right now. (anncr vo) innovations that work for you. that's health in numbers. unitedhealthcare. a woman who loves to share her passions. grandma! mary has atrial fibrillation, an irregular heartbeat not caused by a heart valve problem. that puts her at a greater risk of stroke. rome? sure! before xarelto®, mary took warfarin, which required monthly trips to get her blood tested. but that's history. back to the museum? not this time! now that her doctor switched her to once-a-day xarelto®, mary can leave those monthly trips behind. domestic flight? not today! l

the spurs have won five titles, making gregg popovich a coach to have won five titles. >> the dominance was truly historic. the spurs outscored the heat by 70 points per game, winning 12 this year by 15 or more points, and they shot 53% in these finals. all of those marks are nba records. these playoffs also further cement tim duncan's place and one of the nba's all time greats, the only player to start with three championship teams in three different decades. 15 years between his first nba title back in 1999 and his latest, that's the second longest such span ever. kareem abdul-jabbar won tights 17 years apart. the heat have appeared in four straight nba finals. it's very interesting to note that while the heat's much celebrated big three made just under $60 million this year, and they have two titles to show for that, the spurs victory of duncan, tony parker and ginobili made half this season and they've now won twice as many tights. del. >> richelle had that big party for the nba finals last night. were you there? >> i was not invited. i'm not one of the cool kids. >> even with the a

their organization, their coach, gregg popovich, but also their approach to the way they do business, and they have some important lessons for america. i feel very strongly that we on capitol hill and indeed most americans could learn a great deal by paying attention not just to the success but how the spurs became the most successful professional sports franchise in any sport. my son was privileged to play for coach popovich when he was head coach of the pomona sage hence. in fact, they had to put two colleges together, pomona and pittser, to form one team. his values forge a small but excellent college athletic program that's very much in evidence in the spurs today. first, they look for talent wherever you find it around the globe for right talent. it meant players not just from the united states but i think there are eight different countries represented on that roster. there is a respect for each of them having a role as a team member. their commitment to the larger concept of winning for the greater good. isn't it interesting that their postgame interview i think is in six or se

this is the fifth nba championship for the spurs under coach gregg popovich.ch was also named is the season's nba coach of the year. the entire spurs team, led by captains tim duncan and tony parker, played with determination to bring the championship trophy back to san antonio. the spurs also clinched the best record in the nba season with 62 wins and 20 losses. also, congratulations to can why leonard who was named nba final's most valuable player. leonard averaged over 17 points and six rebounds in the championship series with three consecutive 20-point performances. leonard also had the help of the spurs' big three made up of tim duncan, tone -- i mean, anue-in and tony parker -- manu ginobli and tony parker. so well deserved congratulations to the spurs for bringing the trophy back to the alamo city. as we say in san antonio, go, spurs, go. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from tennessee seek recognition? without objection, the gentleman is recognized for one minute. mr. duncan: mr. speaker, president kennedy said in a famous s

the head coach gregg popovich and forward tim duncan have been there for all of them. so good to have on their resumes. another win there. >> by the way, when did the nba finals start? march? >> right? >> it goes on and on and on. >> i think it's great that the nba finals and the nhl finals end the same weekend. >> exactly. >> we're ready for a new sport. go team usa. >> soccer. >> the willie bounce. there you go. we want to bounce over to the weather and show you we've got strong storms firing up today. we're going to be watching these things especially later today. we look to see a risk of severe weather from omaha, minneapolis, just to the west of chicago. but these storms are going to make their way into the chicagoland area late tonight, early tomorrow morning. you can see them firing up making their way across much of iowa into northern illinois and on into parts of michigan and wisconsin. rainfall amounts anywhere from about 2 to 3 inches from sioux falls to madison. sioux falls picking up almost 10 inches of rain this weekend alone. inches of rain this weekend
