Donald Trump mocks Steve Kerr and also tackles Gregg Popovich

The subject of the moment in the NBA is relations between China and the league. The tweet of Daryl Morey had the effect of a real bomb, not at all appreciated in China and the torch burns between the NBA and China, huge market. A sensitive topic and some prefer to avoid giving their opinion or comment, as it was the case of Steve Kerr

"I have no comment to make. It's really a weird international story and many of us do not know what to say. I read about it, but I will not comment further. I find it easy to talk about issues that fascinate me and about which I think I am well informed, and I think it makes more sense to stay on these topics. So I try to keep my comments for these topics, and that's not difficult. There I try to learn about this subject. Kerr

Gregg Popovich he was keen to salute the position ofAdam Silver, in favor of freedom of expression.

"He has taken a firm stand for freedom of expression. I loved it. He is a leader in this respect and it is very courageous (…) It was not easy to say. He said this in an environment fraught with economic risks. But he rallied to the principles that we all, or most of us, have championed for the last three years (reference to Donald Trump). I am pleased with what he said. The courage and leadership he has displayed are out of the ordinary in comparison. »Popovich

Asked about the subject, Donald Trump Steve Kerr, who he does not like for his stance in the past, especially when it came to going to the White House

"I watched this guy, Steve Kerr. He looked like a kid who was terrified of answering the question. He could not answer. He was shaking 'Oh, I do not know, I do not know.' He did not know how to answer the question. Then he continues to speak ill of the United States. I watched Popovich, who did a little bit the same thing. But he did not seem to be so scared. They talk badly about the United States, but when it comes to China, they mean nothing wrong. I found it very sad indeed. It will be very interesting. "

And he does not intend to intervene:

"They have to manage. The NBA, they know what they are doing. But I looked at how Kerr, Popovich and crash against China, but facing our own country this is not the case. It's like they do not respect him. What is the difference ? I find it sad. For me it is very sad. "
