Steve Nash, a former NBA player who won two MVPs back to back and was just named for the Basketball Hall of Fame has just accepted a role as Head Coach for the Brooklyn Nets. ESPN analyst and journalist Stephen A Smith said that Steve Nash getting the Head Coach position was a factor of White privilege and no other Black person would get the same opportunity.

Stephen A. always seems to live by a 1 step forward, 2 steps backward philosophy when it comes to hot takes.

This one ain't it.

Well, he's not lying. Black coaches often have to cut their teeth as assistants for years, Nash has zero coaching experience in the league. Stephen A is annoying as hell but he called a spade a spade on this one, and I like Nash.

He didnt say he was hired because of white privilege.

He said that because of white privilege that white coaches get better jobs. Where black coaches always get the rebuild/tank jobs. Most white coaches get to come into jobs like this.

Nash got the job because Durant wanted him due to their existing relationship, whoever KD and to a lesser extent Kyrie wanted was gonna get it.
