San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich has once again unloaded on former President Donald Trump, this time calling the Republican presidential nominee a "pathetic," "damaged" and a "whiner."
Responding to a French reporter's question Saturday about the impact of the upcoming presidential election on U.S. democracy, Popovich unleashed a 13-minute triage against the former reality-show businessman.
"He's a pathetic individual," said Popovich, the winningest coach in NBA history. "He's a small man who has to make everybody around him smaller so he thinks he's gonna be bigger — and isn't that the same thing we tell all of our kids in grade school? That's not how you act. That's not what you do."
Popovich has verbally assailed Trump multiple times since the 2016 election, criticizing the former president over his lies and for "wield[ing] race like a weapon."
During Saturday's presser, Pop also voiced concern that Americans might sit out the election and allow Trump to win a damaging second term.
"I hope that they won't stay home, that they'll understand that this guy is a scam artist," the coach said. "He's great at it. I'll give him credit for that. He's the best ever, but he makes you want to puke."
Gee… that’s a shame.
The men's version of the WNBA.
He went to the Air Force Academy.
So is Trump what got him to stroke out? I never liked the dude.
Steve kerr, popovich. They massage excellent physical specimens to perform well, cause the players want the money
These coaches manage teams in a league that is a monopolistic trust. Exempt from anti-trust laws. Trying to act egalitarian while benefitting from a trust. How hypocritical can one be?
It would be fun to threaten to revoke the trust exemption...and see what happens to these clowns. They’d be coaching for living wages.
Oops! Air Force Intelligence Officer! Thank you! ;-)
Yo Papabitch, look who's talkin'
What a douche bag Scratchanitch is.
You’re welcome. Now, how much intelligence, this former intelligence officer has, is open to debate. I don’t think he has much intelligence et all. 😂
By the way, I can’t believe a chump like that, could actually graduate from the Air Force academy.
Is it wrong of me to laugh?
How many more Lakhan Riley’s would have had to die if a-holes like this had gotten their way?
