Spurs' Popovich again critical of President Trump

CLEVELAND -- Twenty-one seasons of coaching the Spurs has given Gregg Popovich a wealth of experience in dealing with the media. So much, in fact, that he believes newly sworn-in President Donald Trump can learn a thing or two from him.

"I want to be totally vanilla, whether someone says something great or something bad (about me)," Popovich said before the Spurs and Cavaliers met Saturday night. "You can't let that affect you. We have somebody in office right now who should take that lesson."

Popovich went on to devote nearly half of his 14-minute media session describing his disdain for Trump, who was inaugurated Friday.
