Meh.
And obama never had a non government job before.
Steve Nash might not have any coaching experience, but he has experience as a point guard, anchoring winning teams including winning the MVP two times.
There have been NBA players who became coaches without previous coaching experience before. Jason Kidd comes to mind, Larry Bird was another.
Funny how blacks are making a case for separate but equal.
They’d gladly take over the NFL, NBA and make it exclusively for blacks. Trouble is, about 95%+ of fans are white.
I don’t really understand, but the fact is that most blacks aren’t really into professional sports as viewers.
All I can say is...”have it all”... all televised sports are now dead to me. I’ve found much better things to do with my time. In 2-3 years, these leagues will have permanently lost 75% of their audience, rendering them unprofitable. Something new will fill the void of Americans and it’s not going to be watching tv sports.
I may be mistaken, but Nash may be the first Canadian NBA Coach.
It probably was. Everything today is racists or White Privilege. I don’t know what wither one are.The only people
i saw getting preferential treatment were Black.
Nobody will be watching, so “the point is moot!”
Look at Phil Jackson’s road to becoming an NBA Coach, think he had “White Privilege”?
In the years immediately following the end of his playing career, Jackson coached in professional leagues like the Continental Basketball Association (CBA) and Puerto Rico’s National Superior Basketball (BSN). While in the CBA, he won his first coaching championship, leading the Albany Patroons to their first title in 1984. Jackson was named the CBA Coach of the Year in 1985.[16] In Puerto Rico, he coached the Piratas de Quebradillas (1984 and 1987) and the Gallitos de Isabela (1984–1986). He regularly sought NBA jobs, but was turned down.
Not that I care, but does Nash have any history with some of the Nets’ “star” players? If he’s worked with them in the past, that could be part of the reason he was hired now.
No “white privilege” involved. But “Screamin’ A Smith” and the rest of the Mickey Mouse Sports mouths have to make everything about race or sex or some other SJW crap.
air.
“Ladies and gentlemen, there’s no way around this. This is white privilege. This does not happen for a Black man.”
THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN FOR A BLACK MAN??????
What basketball court is this guy playing in?
Steve Nash was strategist for what was the best team in NBA history, despite having no Michael Jordan, no Wilt Chamberlain, no Bill Russell, no Magic Johnson... I mean Stephen Curry was GOOD, but if he was flying an Airplane!, most of the audience wouldn’t know who he was on sight.
And so nash, a Canadian, joins the popovich/kerr anti-American brigade, and will talk endlessly about racism, while steadfastly blocking an qualified black from becoming a head coach. China revs up its money machine with nash in the crosshairs.
And yes, the 2016-16 team lost the finals, but the 16-17 team went 16-1 in the playoffs.
Many? Oh, brother...
I’ve been a fan of Chuck’s ever since he said that kids should emulate their parents, not athletes or celebrities. “I am not a role model.”
ESPN NBA insider Stephen A. Smith is a racist tool.
From the NY Post because the except does have the Barkley quote:
Barkley, it appeared, directly called Smith out, and he did not hold back.
“I was very disappointed in some of the guys on television today talking about white privilege. Very disappointed,” Barkley said on TNT’s “Inside the NBA” on Thursday. “They’re like, ‘Well, this doesn’t happen to Black guys.’ And I’m like, ‘It happened to Doc Rivers. It happened to Jason Kidd. It happened to Derek Fisher.’
Nine of the 16 coaches hired without any previous experience since 1978-79 are Black.
“When you have a responsibility, especially when you have to talk about something as serious as race, you can’t be full of crap,” Barkley said. “You’ve got to be honest and fair.
