Yeah right. Republicans had a chance with MCaine and fvcking Palin but they lost because their opponent was black :lol

[Bigsmoke]

So far he seems like a better coach.

[SamuraiSWISH]

When whites stick up for whites ... it's racist. When blacks do it, it's acceptable? SAS comments are racist. Or at the very least prejudice. Double standards much. Bottom line, Kerr is the better coach. He's clearly more intelligent.

Steve Kerr proved his basketball IQ many times. In his career, finding a way to fit onto championship teams. Surviving alongside Michael Jordan, including hitting game winners in the playoffs. As a commentator he had some of the most insightful points. As a GM he recreated the Phoenix Suns after ownership forced him to trade for Shaq. And now his team has the best record in the league.

Does he not realized that his hometown team, the New York Knicks, hired a former player who never had coaching experience this past summer as well?

Granted, Fisher had experience with the triangle while Kerr had no affiliation with the Warriors or any of its players or coaching staff. Still neither had experience.

Agree, I always enjoyed his commentary, very good basketball mind. Its interesting that some of the most marginal players wind up being the best coaches/analysts...

Kerr was offered a lot more money for the Knick's job and had no experience with the triangle. Fisher also had more experience as a leader. But you could tell Kerr knew the game. But he got a lot more money than say a Kareem Abdul Jabbar who was never offered a job and wanted one - most here have said Kareem was really smart.

Most people here aren't that old. Apparently you aren't bright enough to know that. :oldlol:

But what was I thinking - for some reason I remember him as a Spur moreso but then I recall two big shots now that I think about it as a Bull. Was Kerr the one Jordan popped in practice??? If so you figured that too should have factored in against Kerr - respect level from peers. Kerr was the right man for the job - I do think he is going to struggle the first year on the job. Stephen A. has been hard on black coaches not getting jobs and I think this is just an extreme of that reality. Hey, "its Stephen A." and he does say a lot of stupid shat.

He's saying Kerr had his pick of the litter though. Did Mark Jackson had his pick of the litter too?

Kerr only had his "pick of the litter" because Mark Jackson (among others) was such an awful coach.

And before some idiot replies with "he was a great coach, he led the Warriors to an amazing win-loss record" I'll leave you with this image.

[Sleep23rd]

Kerr did inherit a great team that was gelling, peaking in development and had great chemistry already due to Mark Jackson and the culture he brought to the warriors organization.

Alvin Gentry might be who they listen to and Kerr is to the warriors as del negro was to the clippers.

As for Derek fisher and mark Jackson getting their chance to coach with no experience ...look at the teams they had to start off with.
Nothing like what Kerr inherited.

Sas might have been right... The record is nice but if mark was still there the record might be the same or dare I say even better.
He actually was coaching them and making them better.

[PsychoBe]

kerr was a perfect fit. he's an all-time great shooter who knows how to maximize curry and thompson's shooting because now you see curry play off the ball a lot more and come off of great screens and curls unlike under jackson who emphasized the "extra-pass" that resulted in a horrendous amount of turnovers.

[DJ Leon Smith]

The record is nice but if mark was still there the record might be the same or dare I say even better.

You are insane. Literally insane. I'll let Warriors fans have some fun and tear this statement to shreds.

It's my opinion and I've seen those same sentiments voiced also besides they r only words...
If being aggressive online does something for their personal egos then let them.
Maybe it leads to a better day for them as for you, that's your opinion also.
Let's both hold hands and pout about it together shall we?

[chocolatethunder]

how old were you when kerr played for phil jackson on the bulls?

apparently not old enough to remember shit. :oldlol:
I remember when Kerr played for Phoenix, Cleveland and Orlando. I'm pretty sure that he was eventually waived by Cleveland and Orlando signed him after that but it's a long time ago and I can't remember exactly.

[BIG FURB]

You are insane. Literally insane. I'll let Warriors fans have some fun and tear this statement to shreds.

Not that far fetched. The warriors showed tremendous improvement under Jackson. He installed a winning mentality on that team built on defense. They won 52 games last year and nearly beat the higher seeded clippers in the playoffs without Bogut. I think if they had kept Mark and still brought in Gentry to tune that offense the team would be in a similar position as they are now. Jackson wasn't a bad coach, he just didn't get along with management. By all accounts the players loved him. That being said Kerr has proven to be a great replacement and the results speak for themselves

:biggums: Kerr played for phil jackson and won 3 titles as a role player on those teams. From 93-98 he was a bull.


But he got a lot more money than say a Kareem Abdul Jabbar who was never offered a job and wanted one - most here have said Kareem was really smart

Totally unrelated to Kareem but overall great players dont make the best coaches. Actually I would go further and say people that are extremely good at something usually arent the best teachers of that thing.

To paraphrase a story Kenny smith told, he talked about how Bill Russel was coaching a team he was on. Their big guys were struggling to get rebounds, and Russel was pissed he told the big guys to "Just go up and get more rebounds". The big guys asked how and Russel was just amazed that they were being killed on the boards so often.

The impression I got from Kenny's story was that Russel assumed that they were getting killed on the boards because of his bigs lack of effort, rather than the fact that they just werent nearly as talented as he was (relative to the competition they faced). I think a lot of people talented at something fail to comprehend how lesser talents might struggle at certain aspects of a task that for them is second nature. Thus its hard for them to tell their student/apprentice how to accomplish that task because in their minds that task should be like 2+2.

Also on the original topic, Kerr didnt unfairly get job offers because he was white. He unfairly got job offers because of his connections. Phil Jackson had a high opinion on Kerr and wanted him as a coach. Rick Welts the current President and Chief of Operations for the Golden State Warriors worked with Kerr during his time as GM for the Suns. This is not a case of racism. This a case of quasi nepotism (I realize Kerr is not related to either Jackson or welts) but he was good friends with them and people like to employ their friends/get their friends to work with them. Every single job recommendation I have ever given was for a person I like on a personal level, and who I believe was qualified for the job. I have chosen not to recommend a person I thought could do a job but that I didnt want to work with.

[ALBballer]

Kerr got the job because he's white and Derek Fisher with less experience got the job because he's what?

He's talking out of his ass like always and race baits.

[Sleep23rd]

Fisher is a scape goat in ny for Phil,
Kerr knew he didn't want to be a scape goat in ny.
Kerr did the right move,
If fisher got hired for the warriors the record would be the same as it is now.
Warriors got a squad, been had a squad since last year.
Dudes just developed and since the core is still there the chemistry got better.
They made the right decision in keeping klay and not going after love.

[BigBoss]

This and women provoking men to assault them are 2 bonehead comments by Stephen A. He takes the L again.

[joe]

So Kerr didn't want to trade Marion?

Management wanted to break up the 7 seconds or less team, and also cut costs. So that first year or two, Kerr was forced to trade away pieces and try to rebuild that team. He eventually rebuilt it into the 2010 team, which was probably their best team overall in the Nash era. Including trading for Jason Richardson and Jared Dudley, Channing Frye, Robin Lopez, and Goran Dragic. Maybe he had good assistants, good help, or maybe Nash helped pull it together more than anything. But it all happened while Kerr was GM.

Black people gonna stick up for black people. I don't really have a problem with it. SAS says lots of dumb shit.

[Budadiiii]

Ironically Stephen got his because he's black.

[Height Freak]

Steve Kerr got the job because he's "white" and thinks "black", he's sort of the Chris Mullin of head coaches... is that better??? :facepalm

[Euroleague]

When whites stick up for whites ... it's racist. When blacks do it, it's acceptable? SAS comments are racist. Or at the very least prejudice. Double standards much. Bottom line, Kerr is the better coach. He's clearly more intelligent.

Everything about the NBA is racist. It's in the running for the most racist organization in the USA, along with things like the KKK, black panthers, republican party, tea party...etc.

Everything all the way down to the marketing, the product sponsorship, and the people that are supposed to promote the league through the "media" like Smith and the game announcers is pure racism.

The NHL is pretty damn bad that way also, but the NBA is even worse.

[Euroleague]

and white people stick up for white people - i.e. a lot of whites stuck up for darren wilson

Because a lot of white people are racist. Just like people are saying Smith is being racist in these comments. WTF is your point?

[bluechox2]

kerr got the job only cause the knicks showed interest first

[Uncle Drew]

Racism.

[1987_Lakers]

Nah, that seems like a stretch. I think some of the things said about Jackson stem partially from him being black, the words used and such. But i don't think he was fired for being black or Kerr hired for being white.

[Akrazotile]

http://blogimages.thescore.com/tbj/files/2012/11/vinny-del-negro-talking-to-chris-paul.jpg


Del Negro really wasn't a bad coach IMO, the Clippers are simply a limited team. In fact if you look at teams like the Clippers and Grizzlies, whether its Hollins or Yaeger, Rivers or Del Negro, these teams basically achieve the same results each year. Especially when you have an all-time great pure point guard on the floor like Chris Paul who knows what he's doing, there's honestly not that much a coach can really "add" to make the players play better. Sometimes teams just have a ceiling, and for some reasons fans can never accept it as a fact of roster limitation, and always insist that the coach is failing the team.

However, listening to Jackson and Kerr as broadcasters and having watched the Grizz and Clips the last few years, I would venture to say Jackson is probably the lesser of all the aforementioned coaches, and Kerr very well may be the best of them. So if there's that dramatic of an improvement in coaching then you can see it reflected in the teams.

But honestly, if you listen to Mark Jackson broadcast, he simply doesn't sound like a coach. He sounds like a cliche-dependent cheerleader. As I've said before, having great instincts on the hardwood does not necessarily equate to having good instincts from the bench. Just look at Magic Johnson. Dude sounds like a bad message board poster when he tries to analyze basketball.

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.

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

[Foster5k]

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.

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 :confusedshrug:

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.

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.

When whites stick up for whites ... it's racist. When blacks do it, it's acceptable? SAS comments are racist. Or at the very least prejudice. Double standards much. Bottom line, Kerr is the better coach. He's clearly more intelligent.

do you feel oppressed?

[Straight_Ballin]

So what if SAS says Kerr got the Warriors job because he's white. Kerr just laughs it off while some trailer trash white cousin fvcker is up in arms about it.:lol

Black people gonna stick up for black people. I don't really have a problem with it. SAS says lots of dumb shit.

that's called being racist.

Skip should just intervene and say what everyone already knows.

White people are smarter than black people.

This is the reason people don't take educated black guys seriously , because at the end of the day they hate the white man and will always feel like they are being held down.
