San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich did not have basketball on his mind after Saturday’s victory over the Houston Rockets. Instead, the five-time NBA champion launched a withering rant against GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump and his supporters, dubbing him “pathetic” and a “damaged man”. Popovich’s team claimed their first win of the season, beating the Rockets 109-106 at AT&T Center, but he used his press conference to dismantle Trump as election day on Nov.

On Saturday, he deemed it the right time to speak his mind on Trump and Democrat rival Kamala Harris as the race for the White House intensifies.
“He’s pathetic, he’s small, he’s a whiner, we already knew that, but you wouldn’t have him babysit your kids, you wouldn’t hire him. If you had a small business, would you want that man in your business? There’s no way,” Popovich told reporters. “But you’re going to vote for him for president because he’s strong? Kamala Harris whipped his a-- in the debate, just obviously, and he’s running ever since.
He doesn’t want any part of her because, as she said before, she’s eaten many of his type for lunch as an attorney general and a prosecutor. “He’s small fry compared to some of the people she has gone after and he knows it, so all he can do is cut people down and do what he does, we’ve all seen that kind of stuff. “He’s a damaged man, he grew up the biggest wannabe there ever was in New York , we all know that.

He was treated like a fool, a clown and now he’s able to give the finger to the world because of his position now.
That’s what he’s doing, he’s getting back at everybody because he’s so small that he’s got to go after everybody.” Popovich also took aim at some of Trump’s supporters within the Republican party, pointing out many of them have reversed their stance on Trump ever since it became apparent before his first presidential term in 2016 that he could win the White House. Popovich called out senior Republicans Lindsey Graham, Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley, Mark Meadows, Kevin McCarthy and Mitch McConnell in his rant, saying: “They know he’s an a--, they said.
I’m not saying I think they think they, they’ve told us that ever since 2015/16. “They’ve called him xenophobic, a religious bigot, a racist, unfit for office. On and on and on, their words, but they’re right there with him.
Do they not know that they have children and grandchildren that are probably going to lose freedom if this guy is elected? I’m not talking about a policy, I’m talking about the idea of our country.” Trump holds a slender lead in the polls over Harris with election day looming, although the race is set to be decided by the outcomes in swing states including Pennsylvania, Michigan and Georgia..
