Gregg Popovich plays it coy about political career


After the presidential election, Gregg Popovich fired off a passionate rant about Donald Trump's election. It was a moment that had some thinking Popovich wouldn't be all that bad at politics.

Popovich, 67, has never publicly expressed a desire to get into politics, but he was asked about this potential career change on Monday.

Let's just say he didn't rule it out.

Via ESPN's Tim MacMahon:

After listening to Gregg Popovich speak passionately about social issues, I asked if he'd ever consider going into politics. "Anybody else have anything?" he answered. Not a no.

Not a yes either, but leave it to Popovich to just change the subject rather than saying no. We wouldn't expect him to handle the question any differently.

Classic Popovich.
