And his basketball team is an embarrassment to the United States.
Their plan is to bring the US down with the lowest medal count ever ,LOL
Shouldn’t the title read “Team China”?
He is trash.
I used to like coach Pop but he blew a brain fuse by embracing the leftism suck. Reaping the bitter rewards.
Make him eat snails! Make him eat snails!
Out coaches and out played.
Send him home to Yugoslavia
Oh Wait
The people there overthrew his buddies the Communists
Guess he’s homeless
The Croatia team that the Dream Team beat for the 1992 Gold Medal had four starters who are currently in the Basketball Hall of Fame…and we beat them by 32.
Whatever Popovich has been doing going back to the 7th place FIBA finish in 2019 isn’t working.
This is humiliating. pic.twitter.com/5HeAo2RKmx— NH Sports Page.com (@nhsportspage) July 25, 2021

I can’t stand that SOB.
A gold medal is guaranteed for our band of racists,OR they will burn the arena to the ground AND loot the Olympic Village. USA proud!
And his basketball team is an embarrassment to the United States.
And Pop-off-bytch is too....(asshat)
Not so easy to win when the refs aren’t on your side, Huh?
Trump hating douche bag, couldn’t have happened to a nicer prick
The modern, successful NBA head coach has to be able the massage the egos of the modern NBA superstar. That’s what every head coach since Phil Jackson (the prototype) is supposed to do. Greg Poppovich is a great basketball mind. But being successful in an 80 game NBA season and welding a team together for a 2-week tournament are 2 very different things. Does Poppovich understand this? I think he does, but he may be helpless in a short-haul situation with a roster full of alpha dogs.
There’s no room for segregation on a so-called “Team USA,” and there should be no reward for standing by silently in its face, as popovich has done. This said, hell probably get some kind of reward for his unconscious racism in 1) accepting and embracing segregation, and; 2) refusing to honor his alleged principles and step aside to give a deserving black coach a shot with the Mavericks. How could one do any worse than this doofus?
... and I might add that to listen to Poppovich opine about current events youd have to conclude the old guy is a flaming Marxist.
