NBA Coach Gregg Popovich Absolutely Unleashes On Trump in Fiery 13-Minute Rant: ‘Biggest Whiner That Ever Walked the Face of the Earth!’
San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich unleashed a lengthy rant insulting former President Donald Trump on Saturday before his team’s game against the Houston Rockets.
Since Trump first ran for president in 2016 and defeated Hillary Clinton, Popovich has been one of the most vocal anti-Trump figures in all of American sports. During a Saturday press conference, he was asked about the significance of the upcoming election between Trump and Kamala Harris — leading to a nearly 15 minute response.
Popovich belittled Trump by referring to him as a “pathetic individual” and “a small man.”
“He’s a pathetic individual. He’s a small man who has to make everybody around him smaller so he thinks he’s gonna be bigger,” Popovich told reporters. “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.”
The NBA champion coach then claimed that Harris won the September ABC News debate against Trump and slammed Trump’s top Congressional allies, including Sens. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Josh Hawley (R-MO).

“Now, the danger follows the delusion and our kids and grandkids are gonna have to live with what this guy puts out there,” he said. I’m just hoping people who are already sold on him for whatever reason, I can’t figure it out… The ones that stay home and don’t vote are the ones that worry me because we need everybody to vote. I hope that they won’t stay home, that they’ll understand that this guy is a scam artist.”
Popovich concluded his remarks by claiming he does not understand why college-aged voters are supporting the former president.
“What does he say or do that they want to vote for him? They must think he’s a strong guy,” he noted. “This is the biggest whiner that ever walked the face of the earth. He’s like the poorest example of a fifth-grade bully I’ve ever seen. I mean, would you want your kids to act like he does?”
