(28,582 posts)Think about it: A supreme authority figure coaching a sport which requires extraordinary skills beyond human comprehension coupled with the requirement of incredible teamwork, and dominated by men on the court whose egos are extreme since they were the athletic star Whereever they were their entire lives until They arrived at the NBA, wherein, with very few exceptions, they are rookies in every sense of the word. Its a whole different sphere of management.
I have had The privilege of knowing two NBA coaches casually, both 76er coaches. Their breadth of knowledge, their ability to work with all kinds of individuals, their understanding of the human condition, their awareness of racial issues, and the delicacy of the societal norms with respect to their teams Is incredible. In addition to the fact that they have to know more basketball Then you can ever imagine. It is no surprise to me that a guy like this Would make a statement like this about an utter and complete fraud and loser like Trump.

Unlike Trump who never wanted to lead or govern. He wants to rule.

(1,402 posts)Coach Popovich speaks for a lot of us. Fact is DJT is a deranged idiot. Anyone that can't see this is part the problem. Coach Popovich is a wonderful, honorable man/coach, I've watched him for years lead the Spurs to victory. We need a lot more people like him to be our voice. I agree with him 100%.
