    There should be more white, Mexican, and Asian players. Too many blacks not diverse enough

    Lol. First he said 75% of nba is black and then he saying it’s not right that we don’t have more black coaches. Give the person who is best qualified don’t matter if they black or white. Why is everything racist

    Isn’t it kinda weird how they are just now addressing this problem right after the black lives matter movement really got big, it just seems really fishy.

    Ok no more white people allowed in the NBA or NFL to please SAS and ESPN

    Ok if there’s a diversity problem in coaching, then I’ll rebuttal with there’s a diversity problem in players.

    Coaching has nothing to do with race. SAS needs to stop this! If the organizations feel the candidates are qualify or meet the criteria of what they looking for – and how they present themselves in the interview. Everyone pay their dues to get a chance at the coaching job…SAS makes no senses.

    Lol Stephen A is no longer credible when it comes to talking about race after his Steve Nash comments 🤣

    How about asking ABC Disney ESPN why they don’t say anything about the lack of African American or black coaches instead of putting the pressure on the players who are not the general managers. These corporations that pay to play the games can have a say so and encouraging these leagues to have honest interviews with diverse candidates. Stephen a is getting old and fat and he’s starting to sound like Charles Barkley

    Stephen a Smith someone should push you into a locker and explain the difference between systematic racism that leads to the killing of black people in this country and then compare that with a lack of black coaches in the NBA. How dare you!

    There’s 5 about to be 6-7 (or more) black head coaches & the jazz just hired 2 black assistant coaches.

    Not bad considering they make up 12% of the population…

    Max Kellerman, what are you saying, man ?
    You disgust me with that comment about Africans.
    Africans are not blacks, and are not oppressed by other races ?
    Y’all saw what Masai Ujiri (Raptors Prst.) went through with that white police officer.
    Go to Africa, and you’ll find out the oppression that Africans deal with by white countries through their puppets (African leaders under huge threats).
    The African leaders who tried to fight for their people got forcely and systematically removed by the “international community”.
    What are you saying, man ?
    I see the hatred that y’all have towards Africans.
    Max is a pretender trying to act like he is for blacks.
    S.A.S, him being a first generation foreigner (both parents born outside the U.S.A.) in the U.S. got issues, and hates other foreigners as if he is different from them.
    Blacks not getting along with each other is one if not the major reason blacks are dominated by others.
    Trash!!!!

    Stop trying to divide blacks, Max (clueless S.A.S included)

    95% of the nba players are black…There should be more white/non-black players as well if this rule is taken seriously because there should be more diversity among the players instead of talent and skill…see the problem with this now?

    So I just gotta let you coach my team for decades with success? Foh

    If the NBA really wants diversity, they need to accommodate more Asian players! Literally zero Asian player and coach in the league right now!

  23. Strahinja Salajic

    October 2, 2020 at 1:43 pm

    All I’ma say is the league isn’t kicking black dudes out the NBA so that whites, Asians and Latinos can play and be racially diverse

  24. AH5920 u

    October 2, 2020 at 7:16 pm

    Here’s the thing, best coaches in the league aren’t black. Pop, Stevens, Spolestra, Nurse, Kerr. And all time you got Phil Jackson, Red Auerbach and Pat Riley. Now being a good coach doesn’t have to do with your race it’s just Stephen a discredits white coaches

    Does Roger Goodell get asked these questions?
