Terrible news as Kerr was the best color guy on TNT tbh.
I hope Jackson goes to TNT since all their remaining color guys are crap anyways. Please not back on ESPN interrupting JVG.
I would not be surprised if from now on, Warriors lose every game to the Thunder
Doesn't have to be all about race. A lot of people white ones are upset that Kerr like Jackson before him, bypassed the process with no assistant coaching. I agree racism and reverse (stupid word) exists but hate the need to draw racial lines. Jackson was not great but with two injured bigs he pushed Clips to 7.
Cool - if a white guy celebrated Mark Jackson's ousting like Magic did, I'm sure things would be said. I am willing to bet Jalen and Mark Jackson are friends too. It's an incredible reach by Jalen Rose, why else would he care about this comment:
That is what Jalen is referring to as Kerr "planting seeds"."Tor is the East's version of GS. Unreal fan support regardless of team success. This scene outside the arena is amazing."
Only one person in this thread has given props to Kerr, this was a great decision. A nice young nucleus, a great fan base, a nice contract and a decent cap situation. He really has no excuse, but he could just roll the team out there like preacher man and make the playoffs every year. I do think he will provide some structure, how that will come into play is obviously yet to be seen, but in theory it should be a step up over the park ball that preacher man encouraged. Will it be great caliber coaching? Probably not. But an improvement nonetheless
Knicks don't need a neophyte talker as a coach and Phil is holding out for coach Pop.
Phil and pop would be filthy but pop is probably a better FO guy.
I'm wondering when Marv Albert gets the call from GS.... maybe next season?
And I wouldn't support that either. Warriors organization though leaders have changed have hired plenty of minorities in key roles. Not just coaches.
Also Jalen is an idiot I think Simmons chose him for his candor not talent. His corny singing and catch phrases are ty. Next time u tweet him relay that for me. Quit trying so hard to be hip
Shame tbh... taking prayer out of the lockerroom, removing Jesus from the game.
what team has ever won a ring without Jesus? The warriors are insane if they want to turn their back to god.
5 souls... got
Evidently all you need is to be a former player, well spoken and WHITE to get owners to think you know what youre doing.
This is the same guy who hired Terry ing Porter as his own head coach (worst coach Ive ever seen). This is the guy who traded Shawn Marion for the corpse of Shaq. This is the same guy who urged Mike D'Antoni to "throw it into Amare in the post more often".
But kudos to him. 25 million bucks. Thats probably more than he made as a player.
Kerr has studied analytics in basketball the past few years, which immediately makes him an upgrade over most of the coaches in the league, tbh..
Mark Jackson was one of the 5 worst coaches in the league..he took a team full of passers/shooters and turned them into the 4th most ISO-reliant teams in the entire league..not to mention alienating players that weren't ignorant Christians..
Analytics couldn't save Morey and his Rockets from Portland though![]()
heads on nbatv: I have no idea what style he's going to bring, but he's obviously a great fit.
wut?
"Kerr aint got no swag"
![]()
He's going to use Alvin Gentry's system which he loved in Phoenix when he was a GM who was under the tutelage of, yes, Mike D'Antoni!
Basically.
