That’s all he does. He plays both sides.

Yeah Steve Nash only played 20 years, was a 2x MVP and 8X All Star player. He clearly isn't qualified because of his lilly white arse.
Regardless of all of that, it took 5 seconds and a fricking Google search to prove his claim was 100% horseshite. How does anyone do this sort of thing in 2020 knowing how easy it is to disprove them?

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.

Add race-baiting Doc Rivers to the list.

"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."
quote:For fun, let's look at Jason Kidd:
"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?"
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.

Stephen a Smith is a product of affirmative actiom....aka true systemic racism for his benefit.
Posted on 9/4/20 at 11:38 am to indianswim
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.

Wonder what his take was on when the Pelicans hired Alvin Gentry, despite him having gotten 3 chances as a head coach previously and being a failure at all 3. He had 2 winning seasons in 12 years as a HC....yet somehow the Pelicans still hired him...and he ended up with 1 winning season in 5 years in NOLA.

It’s ALWAYS about race with them. Always.

Nets should have broke new ground by hiring Jemele Hill. Ha Ha

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.
Posted on 9/4/20 at 3:15 pm to indianswim
and he uses his black privilege to be overtly racist and disgusting on national TV with no repercussion at all.
Posted on 9/4/20 at 3:22 pm to Broke
Where is the push to draft more ethnic-usa-white players?
Posted on 9/4/20 at 3:23 pm to indianswim
These people deserve each other. Stephen A is the spokesperson of social judgment. ESPN must get good ratings from his rants. How anybody can stomach this crap is beyond me!
Posted on 9/4/20 at 3:24 pm to arcalades
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.

Charles Manson could be coaching in the NBA it would not matter to me I'm not watching.
So smith could not be critical of Nash's qualifications without bringing race into it? Nobody can have just a sports conversation any longer?
