Detroit Pistons head coach Stan Van Gundy blasted US President-elect Donald Trump on Wednesday in a nearly six-minute rant.

Speaking to media before the Pistons' Wednesday night game against the Phoenix Suns, Van Gundy said he was stunned and "ashamed" of the US for electing Trump.

"I don’t think anybody can deny this guy is openly and brazenly racist and misogynistic and ethnic-centric," Van Gundy said. "We have just thrown a good part of our population under the bus, and I have problems with thinking that this is where we are as a country."

Stan....my friend....come close so I can tell you something.

You train thugs for a living.

Nobody...and I mean NO-BO-DY...cares what you thing regarding the election.

Be thankful that you get paid a lot of money for no value.

Fans of the team who support Trump were just called “deplorables” but in other even more hateful terminology. Hopefully, some contact the NBA and team and demand an apology be issued or a loss of revenue could follow.

Who is this moron, and why should anyone give a rats behind about what he has to say? He is a classic jock, probably wore his strap backwards for the first decade of his sports career.

Van Gundy then addressed the population that voted for him, challenging evangelical Christians on "what Bible [they] are reading."

and one that attacks Christians -so the usual Liberal

When cries of racism are used for political manipulation, it causes harm in two ways:

1) Trivializes real incidents of racism
2) Individuals falsely accused of racism are targeted for violence

Van Gundy copied Warriors coach Steve Kerr in making an ass out of himself during a press conference. Apparently, Kerr is a flaming liberal whose been tweeting about Trump for over a month. Done with the NBA.

Sounds like he ate a little to much of the lotus flowers offered up by the Hitlerite propagandists.

Who gives a fuq about the NBA? Even despite the fact that it is a high scoring game it amazingly is even more boring than soccer. I have way better things to do than watch totally illiterate college graduate millionaires who have not contributed a single thing of actual value to the world run and jump and throw balls

Well at least the Hedgehog had something going for him below.

This coach is probably a quarter the size.

Great way to infuriate half of your audience. Especially the ones that are paying their way to watch you dribble your ball in a child’s game.
