Gregg Popovich praises LeBron James after Laura Ingraham's criticism
"He's been a brilliant example for millions of kids. He's very, very special."
San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich stood up for LeBron James after Laura Ingraham's criticism of the Cavs superstar.
"To me, when I heard about that, it was like an unbelievable show of arrogance for a talking head to try to tell someone else if they can speak, what they can speak about, when and where to do it. It's just ludicrous. But to not have a feel for who this guy is… [LeBron] has been a brilliant example for millions of kids, especially of kids of lesser opportunity who haven't had the same advantages of others. It gives them a voice, let's them know that you can speak about anything. I can have whatever opinions I want. And that's what's amazing about this. When you look at this guy, how many tens of millions of dollars he's given? Tens of millions of kids that see him, that are inspired by him. It's kind of like the Black Panther movie. How cool is that for kids to see that and have that superhero? Well, now, LeBron has been that for a long time. And for somebody to be totally numb to that and attack him in such a childish way, really speaks more volumes about that individual than it does Lebron. He's very, very special. We should all be very proud that we have somebody like that who's willing to speak about a variety of topics, and you've listened to them all."
