This guy is an idiot. He makes everything about race. A team can hire whoever they want as a coach or GM. They don’t have to hire a black guy just to please you.

Stephanie A. Smith actually believe that black people should come to his defense even though he does so much tap dancing LOL. This was a great comedy skit. Next time Stephanie tell your white handlers to provide an acting coach for you.

Wow some hypocrisy on both sides. Yes where are the black coaches and GMs but where are the white players in the nba? If we are looking for diversity and one group is overrepresented that seems to be a sig of bias? Or does it only go one way?
