Some critics raised complaints that new Nets coach Steve Nash was handed a prime job over veteran black assistants. 'I did skip the line, but at the same time I think leading an NBA team for almost two decades is pretty unique,' the NBA legend said.
Two-time NBA Most Valuable Player Steve Nash dismissed the idea"white privilege" played a role in his hiring as coach of the Brooklyn Nets despite no prior coaching experience.
"I have benefitted from white privilege. I'm not saying white privilege as being a factor in this position," Nash said on Wednesday, September 9 . "I did skip the line, but at the same time I think leading an NBA team for almost two decades is pretty unique," Nash, a five-time NBA assists leader, said of his player role managing people, skills and uniting rosters.Hall of Famer Nash also learned watching Steve Kerr guide the Warriors to 2017 and 2018 NBA crowns.
"His Hall of Fame resume, his experiences on and off the court and his leadership abilities are second to none," Marks said.Durant, who missed all season after tendon surgery, and Irving, out most of the campaign with injuries, will join a team that reached the playoffs to produce what Nash calls"an incredible roster... the opportunity is fantastic."
