Stephen A. Smith on Brad Stevens Taking Celtics’ GM Job: ‘It’s Beautiful to Be a White Guy’

[Mr. Mojo]

ESPN commentator Stephen A. Smith blasted the Boston Celtics for making Brad Stevens their new general manager, suggesting that Stevens got the job because he is white.

“It’s moments like this where I get on people’s nerves — particularly, white America and in the NBA community specifically, because I point out it’s beautiful to be a white guy,” Smith said Wednesday on ESPN’s First Take.

Smith noted that as a coach, Brad Stevens did generally good, but not stellar, work with the Celtic this season. However, despite Stevens’ record, Smith was angered that the job did not go to a black man.

“You’re a question mark as a coach in some people’s eyes, including in Boston. But somehow, some way, you’re moving upstairs,” Smith exclaimed. “And the opportunities for African Americans continue to dwindle and dwindle and dwindle.

“We’re talking about the coach. We’re not even getting into Black folks in executive positions. We’ve got one Black man with power,” Smith continued. “I’m talking about one dude. And his name is Masai Ujiri in Toronto. We don’t even have in the NBA a Black dude that’s in the United States that’s making the final call on basketball-related matters.“

Stephen A. — the same guy who recently whined about Tim Tebow being the beneficiary of “white privilege” for signing with the Jags. As with many of his colleagues at ESPN, especially Bomani Jones and Mike Wilson, Smith has a huge racial chip on his shoulder. Not coincidentally, TV ratings of ESPN and the NBA and sports in general continue to tank.

Stephen A. is becoming the poster child for Black grievance.

Were he White he would be doing sports on a local in Fargo.

Racists are people who are obsessed with race, make everything about race, and hate people who aren’t the same race as them.

What F has this clown done for the world of sports?

Founding Fathers were all White. That’s how America was created. Not happy? Move to Africa. There’s like 50 countries there. Liberia was founded by descendants of American slaves. So maybe he should move there.

They should have hired a rapper thug right out of the ghetto.

He’s arguing that the job went to Stevens because he is white, when it should have gone to someone else because he is black.

[lurk]

I had a college dorm mate with dark skin who always made it about race. He dated a white girl.

I don’t think Stephen S. was like this a few years ago.
When Jemele Hill could not stop her anti Trump, race baiting remarks in 2017, I’m pretty sure Stephen was a voice of reason. Something happened since then, obviously.

[ealgeone]

even more beautiful to be a black guy who can spout off whatever he wants.

If Doc Rivers had stuck around, he may have gotten the job.

The whole game is based on racism and white privilege.

Another idiot in front of a camera because of his skin color.

I don’t think Stephen S. was like this a few years ago.

He's become a caricature of himself. As his paycheck grew, so did his IQ...happens to a lot of people that get rich.

I simply can't stand him.

[Leaning Right]

Folks like Stephen A. Smith are stone-cold racists. You cannot reason with them. So the only thing you can do is tell them to...

[Tommy Revolts]

Stephen A. is a douchebag and doesn’t know his ass from a hole in the ground.

[TakebackGOP]

I remember he appeared on Mark Levin’s show during the Obama Admin and criticized Obama, and I knew it wouldn’t last.

Domonique Foxworth has one of the biggest chips on the shoulder of that network. All he could talk about last year was the "disrespect" the Cowboys were giving to Dak Prescott, even though they were willing to pay him over $30 million a year.

Truth be told, Tim Tebow has more playoff wins than Dak Prescott.
