The head coach of the San Antonio Spurs called Donald Trump the "biggest whiner that ever walked the Earth" in a 13-minute long roast to the media before a game.

Coach Gregg Popovich was asked about the upcoming election by a reporter before the Spurs took on the Houston Rockets on Saturday, leading to the lengthy takedown.

"He's a pathetic individual. He's a small man who has to make everybody around him smaller so he thinks he's gonna be bigger," Popovich told reporters. "And isn't that the same thing we tell all of our kids in grade school? That's not how you act. That's not what you do."

Popovich proceeded to call Trump "a criminal" and "a racist," referring to a previous lawsuit that accused Trump of refusing to rent to Black tenants.

The coach also called Trump a poor example for kids, analogizing Trump calling the 2020 election "rigged" to a soccer player blaming the referees when they lose. Popovich added that he did not understand how younger, college-aged individuals can support the former president.

"What does he say or do that they want to vote for him? They must think he's a strong guy," Popovich told reporters. "This is the biggest whiner that ever walked the face of the earth. He's like the poorest example of a fifth-grade bully I've ever seen. I mean, would you want your kids to act like he does?"

Popovich went on to add that Vice President Kamala Harris "whipped his a**" in the debate between the two presidential candidates, and slammed those who hold Harris to a higher standard while he said Trump's policies have "nothing there but jibber-jabber."
