re: Stephen A Smith - Steve Nash got Nets job because of "White Privilege"

Stephen is not NEARLY woke enough. This doesn't even scratch the surface of the aggressive/violent societal reforms we must make to crush white supremacy. Until they address the problem of undeserving white athletes taking the roster spots of more deserving Afrikan -AmeriKKKan players, I'm out. Not to mention how rich white racist people (redundant) get all the best seats because the owners are filthy white capitalists. Furthermore all team assets should be forcibly confiscated, NBA profits should be distributed equally to black Americans, who after all, built the country, the league and apparently, mastered flight somewhere in Egypt thousands of years ago while white people were cowering in the caves of northern Europe.

"Steve Nash is a sensational dude and if anybody deserves this opportunity absent the experience that obviously he has as a coach, it's him," Smith said. "Steve Nash is widely respected and loved by whole bunch of people in the NBA -- Black, White and beyond."

"Ladies and gentlemen, there's no way around it: This is white privilege," Smith declared. "This does not happen for a Black man. No experience on any level as a coach and you get the Brooklyn Nets job?"

For fun, let's look at Jason Kidd:

quote:

---

At age 38, Kidd won his only NBA championship when Dallas defeated Miami in the 2011 NBA Finals. He finished his playing career in 2013 with the New York Knicks. The following season, he became the head coach of the Nets, who had relocated from New Jersey to Brooklyn

---

For what it's worth, Nash is/was an elite point guard, a position which requires total on-court understanding of the game to be played at a high level. Kidd, Avery Johnson, Magic Johnson, Doc Rivers etc all played that spot, which is why they were fast-tracked to the coaching position.

Lenny Wilkens was a guy who became a coach while still playing.

Anyone who thinks Nash was hired because he's white, instead of having elite knowledge of the game, is insane.

Here's a list of the NBA coaches who had no prior coaching experience before becoming a head coach. Stephen A., as usual, is full of shite.

Steve Nash
Derek Fisher
Steve Kerr
Jason Kidd
Mark Jackson
Vinny Del Negro
Kevin McHale
Isiah Thomas
Doc Rivers
Larry Bird
M.L. Carr
Magic Johnson
Quinn Buckner
Dan Issell
Dick Van Arsdale
Paul Silas

ETA: Already been posted, I see. 9 out 16 are black.

Isiah Thomas

So, does this mean that Jason Kidd, Tyronne Lue, and others has black privilege for getting their initial coaching jobs with no experience?

---

Lue was an assistant for several years and Kidd played so long he was basically an assistant coach, especially in Dallas.

Ok so "white privilege" got Nash the job. Think Stephen will acknowledge affirmative action got him his. No way a white guy as lame as Smith gets on ESPN.

Where is the push to draft more ethnic-usa-white players?

Yeah Lue was at least an assistant coach.

Kidd, Marc Jackson, magic Johnson, doc rivers are the prime examples to dispel white privilege for Steve Nash.
