科尔不愿就最近几天联盟和中国之间的关系发表评论。

在上周火箭队总经理达里尔·莫雷（Daryl Morey）在推特上支持香港抗议者之后，特朗普在记者招待会上被问到，向NBA施加压力是否是错误的。
“我看着史蒂夫·科尔，他就像一个小男孩，害怕回答问题。他不能回答这个问题。他在发抖，“哦，我不知道，”特朗普说。“他不知道如何回答这个问题，但他会把美国说得很糟。

USA president Donald Trump mocked Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr for declining to comment about the ongoing controversy between the NBA and China.
Per SI, Kerr was unwilling to comment on the fallout between the league and China in recent days. âActually I donât,â Kerr said when asked if he has thoughts on the controversy. âItâs a really bizarre international story. A lot of us donât know what to make of it. Itâs something Iâm reading about like everybody is, but Iâm not gonna comment further.
Steve Kerr no comments on the Morey/China/NBA situation. Says heâs been reading about it, doesnât feel versed enough to comment. Full back and forth here. pic.twitter.com/HM1NuF46vG

Trump was asked during a press conference whether or not it was wrong to be putting pressure on the NBA following Rockets general manager Daryl Morey tweeted in support of Hong Kong protestors last week.
“I watched this guy Steve Kerr and he was like a little boy who was so scared to be even answering the question. He couldn’t answer the question. He was shaking, ‘Oh, I don’t know,'” Trump said. “He didn’t know how to answer the question, and yet he’ll talk about the United States very badly.
