  1. Feel the same way if Ime was white?

    Why does Steven A get to avoid the double standard time and time again?

  2. The Nets is a business!! These talking heads on ESPN pretend to think that they can tell owners who to hire !! They are ridiculous!!

  3. Of course Stephen A is rooting and praying for Vaughn, he's black that's all that matters Stephen A..

  4. Good Coaching.
    No exhaustion to players due to excessive practices.
    That was the best decision for NETS because if it was Ime Udoka….. more than sure Kyrie will not play.

    Kyrie wants you to be a saint.

  5. For Stephen A to say he’d prefer for Udoka to get the job bc he’s under the influence that he could lead them to an Nba final’s the same thing can potentially be said about coach Vaughn he’s doing well so far he’s far better than Nash in every aspect so far as being a coach & the player’s seem to respect him more so than they did with Nash.

  6. Smith you talk so much trash sometimes,how could Kyrie cause ime not to be hired..you are a slandering freak and blasphemous man that always throwing that black man down..wish I could see you one day face to face

  7. Jonathan Greenblatt & the Commish cost Ime Udoka a Head Coaching job. And because Joe Tsai is spineless! That said, I think J.Vaughn is a very good Coach & wish him the best.

  8. I´m really tired of listening this bs about brad Stevens. He never had this Jayson Tatum and this Jaylen Brown, plus he didn't had Rob Williams. He took a ok team at best to the eastern finals with Kyrie and Hayward injured. Give some respect to Brad Stevens.

  9. Nets aren’t going anywhere. They have 2 more years of Ben Simmons on the books. After this year he is making 38 and 41 million dollars in his final 2 seasons on his contract. They are stuck with that. I feel bad for KD, wasting his last few good years with this team. I don’t think that owner will trade Kevin either. No superstar talent is going to want to play for that organization for awhile. It’s a circus

  10. That’s false he’s not the coach because he doesn’t like how the nets gave kyrie those 6 things to get reinstated. Smh I hate the media they lie so much ! And people believe it

  11. Could KD be racist secretly? If Nash is gone and Nash chose Vaughn why so much love for Vaughn and not Nash? Team is team. It’s so weird???? No I in team.

  12. Last guy to support Ime…must know something we don’t..everyone else(black or white) who says they know the truth have renounced their support for Ime.

  13. No- it's sad SA that you would ADD THIS to the list of EVERYTHING that you have blamed Kyrie for. Kyrie is clearly without guilt – but you can't place the blame at his feet for this matter. That award goes to the coach in question- Mr. Udoka.

  14. Nets looked so dangerous last night and kyrie wasn’t even in. He’s producing ime results without all the baggage. I think it was the right move. Although I’m worried for my sixers now. I was hoping the nets would stay a dysfunctional disaster because offensively they are huge threat especially if they get their defense down.

  15. Good coaching to bench Ben Simmons from the start, it already earns more respect that Brett Brown, Rivers, and Nash

  16. What Steven A Simp couldn't use his blatant this is racist, which exactly what he would of said had they hired a white or even a Hispanic coach but since they didn't he gives the im rooting for him, cuz blacks always root for other blacks, but somehow it's racist when whitey does itm

  17. To me, this is 100% Udoka’s fault that he didn’t get the job. He’s only available because of his actions. If he was somehow available, without the baggage, he would have the job. Kyrie’s life shouldn’t impact Udokas’ (like this) and it wouldn’t have if Udoka was taking care of his own business.

  18. Why is Ime more deserving of the position than Jacque? He fucked up his opportunity in Boston why does he get to cut the line in Brooklyn

  19. Naw the fact yal said the Nets was number 1 in defense in four games needs to be praised.. They defense before with Nash as a Team was ridiculously bad

  20. There go SAS speaking out of both side of his mouth! Stop telling people how to run there business, at this point you are slandering Vaughn. Give the guy a chance and get off of Udoka's jock!

  21. Lmao how tf you gonna blame Kyrie for what Ime Udoka did? I get what Stephen A tryna say but Ime Udoka didn’t get the job because of what HE did not Kyrie.

  22. SAS You're wrong. Udoka's womanizing should have cost him something. He broke rules that in the real world normal people would've faced a likely termination. And what about the bigger half of the country's population, women; they could and should absolutely step up and protest against Udoka's hiring.
