Spurs’ Gregg Popovich Calls President Trump ‘Cowardly’

San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich shot back at President Trump’s criticisms of NBA Commissioner Adam Silver on Sunday, saying he would prefer Silver’s leadership to that of Trump’s.

“[Silver] stood by our nation and its principles. That’s pretty huge in these days,” Popovich told a group of reporters. “Sometimes, it’s kind of Orwellian. You think we’re living in a place where, ‘Is this really happening?’ But that comparison was pretty stark when you put our president up against those leaders when he’s with them or talking to him and how he reacts compared to the way Adam Silver reacted. I was proud of him. It was great.”

Popovich’s comments come days after a Wednesday press conference when the president took shots at both Popovich, and Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr, for their harsh criticisms of him and their weak responses toward China.

“They talk badly about the United States, but when it talks about China, they don’t want to say anything bad,” Trump said. “I thought it was pretty sad, actually. It’ll be very interesting.”

Popovich continued, “All I did was make a comparison between Adam Silver’s show of principle and courage in a tough situation, as opposed to how our president reacts when in the company of authoritarian figures, whether it’s Saudi Arabia, North Korea, Russia or Turkey, whatever it is. It comes off as really feckless, impotent, cowardly by comparison.”

Speaking of feckless, impotent, and cowardly, Popovich did not list China among the nations led by authoritarian figures.
