After a day of protest and displays of unity in the NFL on Sunday, players and coaches from across the NBA spent their media days offering their thoughtson President Donald Trump’s recent comments.
Bradley Beal, for example, called Trump a “clown,” while LeBron Jamesexpanded on the statements he made on social media throughout the weekend.
In what should come as little surprise, San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich also had some thoughts to share on the issue, and once again, he spoke very eloquently about the problems the country is facing.
In a wide-ranging and thoughtful response, he noted that his players have the organization’s full support to speak their minds, and later added that he feels the country is “an embarrassment to the world.”
