(on a somewhat related sidenote)…

In the past week there's been a lot of chatter about Phil Jackson wanting Steve Kerr as the Knicks new head coach.

No question – Kerr's resume is impressive. He's a retired NBA player (and 5X NBA world champion). Also a former NBA exec. And he's been an NBA analyst.

But has held NOT ONE job as a basketball coach at any level, Anywhere.

Now please don't misunderstand me. I''m NOT saying that Jackson shouldn't consider Kerr. But here's what has really got my attention:

It's being reported that SEVERAL other NBA teams are now interested in Kerr as their new head coach (the Golden State Warriors and the Utah Jazz).

So to paraphrase Stephen A. Smith and a few others who are a bit taken aback and asking:

"What's Up? Why is Kerr…a man with NO coaching pedigree at all….being seriously courted by several NBA teams (Owners and GMs) for their head coaching job when there are other more accomplished coaches (mostly Black) still waiting on the sidelines?"

I'll go further and ask…Why does the *Rooney Rule* of the NFL kinda sorta come to mind?

I think we all can agree that they need to shut down the NAACP office if they were aware of racism and ignored it. It is not merely firing the heads but everyone along the way who suspected or knew and remained quiet. I have a strong feeling that there will be a lot more departures from that office.

I gotta agree with you Truth. If the NAACP was taking money from this man and ignoring his racism, that whole office needs to be shut down. That's a slap in the face to all black people. I think there's more to this story that's about to come out. Shady dealings were going on.

Nice summary breakdown of this sorry saga DJ.

Okay…..1st:

Regarding V. Stiviano (or whatever her real name is?…having changed her name several times over the years):

She really needs to go somewhere and "SIDDOWN" and Shut.Up.

And I hope men, particularly men like Sterling (rich and easily duped) are taking note – *TRICKS*…Ooops I mean chicks like Stiviano are a dime a dozen. They WILL play you AND betray you without giving it a 2nd thought!!!

2nd- the LA chapter of the NAACP is a joke and ( I repeat) should be closed..immediately.

3rd – Regarding the NBA (and more specifically..the chances that Silver can convince the majority of NBA owners to vote in favor of Sterling selling the Clippers, given Sterling ain't going away without a fight):

I pointed to something in a post last week (Sterling, Stern and Silver are all of Jewish heritage). Upon further research I found that the majority of NBA owners are of Jewish heritage.

In fact if you look at who controls most of professional major sports in America (i.e., MLB, NBA, NHL) they are white Jewish men (Commissioners AND Owners). NFL Commissioner, Roger Goodell is not Jewish but he has to answer to Jewish owners

I said all that to say this: I don't believe Sterling is an anomaly. Not by any stretch of the imagination. I believe his cultural beliefs regarding *Race* are probably THE NORM among THAT particular group of men. Meaning a "racist" mentality is pervasive among that bunch.

And if I'm right…..this disgraceful story has the potential to get a lot worse before the drama ends.
