    It was a pre-game pool-reporter interview. So, likely just a clever way for Pops to not talk about basketball to them...as he's so wont to do.

    the damage has been done, he played slash and burn politics to win and this is what he got. he expects people to respect him, despite him throwing everyone under the bus who wasnt a white-male? he's asking for respect, but hasnt given any respect. sometimes whenever you are head honcho, you walk into a room- not everyone is going to listen to you. you have to learn how to navigate your audience, build relations, and earn people's trust so they will respect you and follow you. trump did exactly the opposite, he divided and conquered.

    i dont blame the people who are out in the streets protesting right now.

    Pop is 110% correct. Let's beat the Spurs though!

    This is by far the most idiotic thing I've heard. But what do I expect? I guess I need to lower my standards when it comes to dealing with people like you. Smh

    So there are still about 2 months away for our next president to be in his throne and you already believe people in this country should live like the same as in North Korea?

    Kudos to Greg Popovich for speaking out ... in the grand scheme of things, what's a basketball game compared to what the U.S. is currently going through. Populism is a worldwide trend though, scary.

    Maybe but ppl said Hitler would t remove the Jews. Jews freely got on the trains. The point is not that he def will do something it's that the for first time a strong man is president. So anything can happen and what about nuclear war? I'm a ******* republican too

    Obama got us into debt? You mean there was no debt crisis before the financial crisis?

    Uuuuhh, leading the charge in potentially bankrupting an entire nation causing millions to lose life savings and jobs >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> a racist comment.

    In case you don't know math, the interest rate on 20 Trillion dollars in debt goes up more than you make a year by the second. Don't be the fool the media wants you to be and get fixated on personal issues. We are in a massive debt crisis with a 2% growth gdp since 2009. Thanks Obama and gang!

    I've always hated Popovich but now I respect him and hate him a little less. Mad props for speaking his mind!

    I have no problem with coaches answering questions outside the realm of sports. However, I'm really getting sick of politics being injected into sports. I want a break and sports used to be that break that we could put all our differences aside and hate each other based on the logo on our jerseys.
