    Given that this is a Rockets fan forum, I assume people here are fans of the Rockets or at least of NBA basketball overall. Given the well-publicized anti-Trump stances taken by NBA players and coaches (like Greg Popovich), do you find yourself no longer a fan of the league?

    I think he is just trying to help really.

    If Pop trolls Trump enough so that he gets mentioned on one of the 43 hours of inane cable news that clown watches in a day - perhaps he gets a special 5 AM modern day presidential tweet storm.

    That is a tweetstorm that misdirects energy that could otherwise go to starting WW3 or picking on children or grieving widows.

    He is doing his duty.

    I will always love basketball and the rockets. I have also supported every American president.

    I am very excited for this season.

    Would love to see the draft dodger call him out and say he's disrespecting our troops.

    Air Force veteran vs "Draft dodger".

    Should be an easy call to reasonable Americans.

    No. I'm not as shallow as someone like Popovich appears to be.

    Many people see Pop as thoughtful, learned, wise. Trumpanzees see him as shallow.

    With the internet these days I understand the catch phrase thing/ attempted humor attaching itself to politics. With “triggered” “cuck” and whatever else. But by god is it lame. I do not think people that use that online constantly realize just how utterly lame it is.

    "Many people"

    Careful. That sounds a lot like Trump.

    I'm not attempting to be funny. Popovich is scum and frankly not even worth my time so I'll just say one thing and leave it at that, I;m sure there are plenty of conservative coaches who weren't fans of Obama but did anyone of them go after him through the media? Did anyone one them call up a journalist to bash him? Popovich is just classless.

    It'd be nice to not have to pretend the draft was worth defending.

    Who are these Trump-supporting NBA coaches?

    It's a conspiracy. Many NBA coaches love Trump but is staying quiet because of the mainstream media. Because supporting Trump is unpopular. That's the conspiracy. Because Trump is a popular. Oh wait. What?

    Ah yes, im sure you were just as pissed when reality TV star Donald trump was openly and very publicly demanding that then POTUS Obama show his birth certificate and claims he was born in Kenya. That classless stunt must've really made your blood boil. Oh wait.....

    You admire trump - unfortunately for you that completely negates any sort of moral authority you think you may have. Unless of course you now hold NBA coaches in higher regard than the POTUS #birther #grabembythepussy #veryfinepeople

    Who cares. I am here for the sport. Keep the political garbage out of the game. And stop trying your best to drag it into the game. Honestly its pathetic to let ones hatred fester in every bit of ones life.

    If Obama was even remotely comparable to a Trump, this might be a good point.
