Stephen A Smith: Steve Kerr got the Warriors job because he's white

[TheBigVeto]

[QUOTE=Heavincent]Remember this? http://www.chatsports.com/nba/a/Step...te-10-203-1490

This is the best part:

[deja vu]

ESPN is owned by Disney Corporation. And Disney Corporation was rumored to have ties to the Nazis.......

No wonder an obvious racist clown like Smith gets paid $3.5 million a year to mouth off by them.

Kerry did an excellent job of keeping the Warriors on point this season and an even better job of soothing hurt feelings early on. These guys loved Jackson for the most part and many were angry he was fired. Tough spot for Kerry to step into but he sold himself and more importantly sold them on an identity for the future

So the Warriors haven't been totally justified in hiring Steve Kerr? Get real.

Where did I say they were not? All I said was that we cannot prove that he was hired because he's "white" nor can we disprove it. The fact that he got his team to the Finals is irrelevant to proving or disproving the assumption made by Steven A. Smith.

For example, let's say they hired Fisher because he's "black". Let's say they actually came out and stated that to the media. Of course, everyone would be up in arms and cry racism. We would finally have proof that a front office made the decision to hire a coach because of his/her race. Now, let's just say Fisher got his team to the Finals. Does that justify their decision? No. Their decision was still based on race.

So we end up with Steve Kerr coaching his team to the Finals while Mark Jackson sits in the booth crying At least Draymond gave him some love while every other player on the Warriors ignored his existence.

Stephen A is a clown.

Why are we giving credence to anything Stephen A Shit says? The guy is just a mouth piece for his buddy Mark Jackson. Race has nothing to do with it. Stephen A Shit loves to plan the "proud black man" whenever it suits his agenda but in reality he's there to do the bidding of his espn overloads

[longtime lurker]

Let me play devil's advocate.

Let's just say a minority, in America, came out and said that he couldn't get better interest rates because he's a minority.

Then, let's just say that there was this huge backlash against this minority for claiming some form of racism against the banks.

Finally, let's just say that there was a study done that actually prove the minority was being treated unequally and was dealing with racism from the banks.

Actually, that story is true and did happen.

I said that to say this, we all can come in here and bash Steven A. Smith. However, we cannot prove or disprove that Kerr was indeed hired because he is "white".

All we know is the facts. The fact is Steven A Smith was right when he said Kerr had the pick of the litter of coaching jobs without any previous experience. Did Derek Fisher have the same jobs lined up for him? If not, then why not?

Point being, we cannot prove or disprove anything here. We're only jumping the gun and saying Steven A. Smith is an idiot, etc. However, we can't prove it or disprove it and neither can Steven A. Smith, but he is paid to give his opinion and so he did.

That's all that's going on in this thread. People are giving their opinions whether wrong or right.

Kerr did get his team to the finals. However, If he had took the Knicks job, do you think he would have fared any better than Fisher? That's a better question in my opinion than arguing over what Smith said which we can't possibly prove or disprove.

I don't see where you were going with this post. Kerr would be more successful than Fisher because he wouldn't have implemented the shit triangle offense. Add to the fact that he'd bring on a team of different assistant coaches than the Knicks currently have. Golden's State's ceiling with Fisher would probably be the second round. Considering how shit the Knick's defense was. Maybe Kerr's a better coach because he surrounds himself with better assistants

We don't know whether he would do better than Fisher in New York City. Maybe he would, and maybe he would not. Either way, he turned down the job for a reason. Whatever that reason was, we don't know. Did he know it was a bad job and an impossible situation? Maybe or maybe not. Anyhow, all of this is irrelevant to the question of whether he was hired because he's "white".

All I'm saying is that, before we come in here and bash Steven A. Smith, we can't possibly prove or disprove what he said.

**** the Warriors. **** their fans. **** Steph Curry. **** his ugly daughter. His momma cool. But **** that skinny ass weakling Steve Kerr!

Please boo you're own ****ing owner again, you piece of shit GSW bandwagoners. Losers!

[Heavincent]

Either way, he turned down the job for a reason. Whatever that reason was, we don't know.

Yes we do.

1. He already lived in California
2. Everyone knows the Knicks are a dog shit franchise
3. Warriors had legit talent

Those are just assumptions but could be the main reasons he turned down the job. As stated, either way, that's all irrelevant to the question at hand.

Anyhow, I'm done defending Steven A. Smith in this thread. The guy says outlandish stuff to get ratings, so does every other so called "news" program these days. I understand that. At the end of the day, it's a business. The fact that we're here discussing what the said means he's already won in the end. I guess their strategy works.

Gets the job because he's white.

Wins the championship.
