Do not forget that Baltimore cops got caught with toy dropguns so they could cover their asses if they shot kids. Do you understand?

Only one of them was killed by law enforcement.

Steve Kerr has always has very progressive views. He's one of the good ones that's for sure.
vitaminalgas
I'd vote for him... But he's too smart for politics

I can not even think about Elijah McClain without bursting into tears. Fuuuuck you, Aurora PD. Seriously. Fuck right off.

To say they faced no obstruction is a little one sided, it is deplorable some capitol police helped rioters, but many tried what they could.
brianschilleruml
Apparently the mayor of DC told national guard to stand down in days prior to protest. But yes, this displays the horrible double standard

Or a black kid have a toy gun/bb gun in his room during a school video call.

If a person is an accomplice in a crime resulting in a murder aren’t they normally charged in that murder (or death)?
Nowyouscantleave2323
Walked past him at a winery in Napa with my wife and after wine tasting all day all I could muster was “sup Steve!”

Trayvon was 17, not 15.

Because that's what matters...

His actions had consequences.

Doc rivers straight up said "imagine if those people were black"
treed240z
Imagine if they were middle eastern and speaking literally any language that wasn't English.
supervillainsevilmoustache
Well for one, they probably wouldn’t have broken into the capitol building. And two, they sure as hell wouldn’t parade a Confederate flag
supervillainsevilmoustache
But I understand the point.
ferventailurophile
He's cute. I had a secret crush on him when he was a Bull. This little poor black girl didn't realize he was a good guy even back then.
isaidsomethingcool
Popp too. That dude does NOT hold back. I think he released a statement too.
Gianttesticlemonster
Did Doc say anything? Woth Pop and Kerr he strikes me as a very grounded man, who is comfortable being emotional
Gianttesticlemonster
https://www.sportsnet.ca/nba/video/doc-rivers-comments-trump-supporters-storming-us-capitol-building/ he did. Stay safe my american friends

Raps fan, but I agree. spent 40 years coaching hoops, and Pop was one of the icons.

His dad was a professor or a Dean of an American university in Beirut. He was murdered by terrorists.

By?

Kerr has a good head on his shoulders. Really don't like golden state but this definitely transcends anything sports related.
YouCanCallMeCal
He lost his dad to extremism and cult leadership. He knows about oppression more than most. He's a thoughtful leader and a smart man

It’s so annoying the team I want to hate has several legit good humans on it

I'm torn love Kerr, I was raised in Chicago in the 90's but damn that man has a legacy almost going to pass 33 and 23 for an overall carrer
Gianttesticlemonster
He's a good dude and kinda the forgotten man from the Bulls dynasty.i gotta think being around all those personalities will ground a person
IAmGreco
He's like the wonderboy thompson if the NBA, just a fucking sweat heart of a man, and humble as hell
PTFCMcGee
No doubt. I had no idea about his dad's murder until I watched The Last Dance. Really interesting guy.
CSlice06
Theres actually no reason to not like the Warriors. They’re humble, play the game the right way, and they have class (Draymond is exception)
jokerlives
kiddub
If I’m not mistaken, his dad was killed during an uprising at America university. He’s got some context on what happens in these events.
WoodORama
I had no idea that was the same Kerr. I remember that happening when I was a kid. Brings a whole new respect for Steve and I'm a Bulls fan.
Deadpo0l
If you haven’t seen it yet, watch The Last Dance. It’s amazing
GilFaizonofcourse
absolutely heartbreaking segment in the Bulls/Jordan doc last year.
PTFCMcGee
You are correct. Really, really sad story.
rowingrowingrowing
His dad was killed by terrorists who attacked American University in Beirut. His whole family is amazing.

The treyvon martin one isnt a great example for a few reasons, or is the skittles another reference?
ars3nic
He's referencing Trayvon, who was 17, not 15 (not relevant). What is relevant: Trayvon was shot by a civilian, not police. Bad analogy.
ars3nic
Also keep in mind Trayvon initiated the confrontation. Zimmerman was following him, but you don't get to attack someone for following you.
Renza0
yep, thats exactly why I think its a bad example here. it's certainly an example of systemic issues, but just not pertaining to police.

I disagree that it isnt targeted at them, Martin's case definitely involves destructive racism, but not really the police, plus theres 1/
[deleted]
[deleted]
Renza0
Well, I'm not the guy who wrote or said it, so I certainly cant confirm. It certainly implies it though. providing the "why" would help.
Renza0
the allegation from Rachel Jeantel that Martin may have initiated the violence thinking Zimmerman was gay, adding complexity to the event.
[deleted]

Renza0
Most if not all the other events I've heard of are basically police beating/murdering innocent people for being brown or supporting them
Cabreza
Kerr has had a very unique upbringing (google him) so he's typically very insightful on matters like this. Also he punched Michael Jordan.
PrettyyyPrettyyPrettyGood
I though Kerr was the one who got punched in that exchange
famicus
Kerr punched MJ in chest. MJ punched him in his eye. MJ was then thrown out of practice and later called Kerr to apologize.
iamthisguy247
I think he got punched but wouldn’t back down and punched back.
ZombieZooZombieZoo
Read his wiki, the college fans yelling insults about his dad...wtf is wrong with people

manbearpiglet2
I don’t know much about him other than basketball, gambling, and space jam. I’m curious why?
ZombieZooZombieZoo
He's pretty arrogant, though you could argue it's justified
tacticusprime
He's a piece of shit who has spent decades degrading people and gambling as much as possible. Now he's old and trying a PR rehabilitation.
manbearpiglet2
I’ll have to look that up, didn’t know that about him...the degrading people part
fineletsdoeverythingyouwannado
I think the most competitive people in the world have that mental part of it. Arnold, Kobe, MJ, it's a pro&con & makes em dicks at the time
fineletsdoeverythingyouwannado
If you said profiting off of slave labor to become a billionaire I'd be on board but gambling a fraction of his worth is what does it?

Jordan got mad at Kerr and punched him...Kerr posted up and punched him back- respect was earned that day

Kerr, not only the best 3pt shooter of all time but also one of the wisest coaches and people in the nba.
indified
best 3 pt shooter?
JayshushMcGush
He was not a better 3 point shooter than steph, don’t care what his percentages say. He couldn’t create his own shot or shoot well contested
JayshushMcGush
I believe I heard Kerr say steph was a much better shooter than he was in a podcast with bill simmons
JayshushMcGush
That being said, I respect the hell out of Kerr as a person, a thinker, a ball player and a coach. Seems like a legit good dude.
HopelessNecr0mantic
Hes nowhere close to tha level, and he would b the first to say it. He was a specialist. He hit big shots. He wasn't a great player.
WheresYourSister
Stats dont lie
Mojomancer
And they don’t care about your feelings
HopelessNecr0mantic
But that's not the only measure of best shooter. He played w 2 pairs of all time greats. He made open shots. Gonna tell me hes a better
HopelessNecr0mantic
Shooter than reggie Miller? Ray Allen? Klay or steph? Those guys got their threes even tho they were the focus of the defense
WheresYourSister
He shot LESS than those players but made his shot MORE than those players
WheresYourSister
Steph played with literally the 2 other most lethal scorers of all time on the only team better than the bulls lineup Kerr played with
HopelessNecr0mantic
He was doing it for years before that lineup existed. When he pulls up from 28 feet, the other players on the floor arent quite as impactful
quick512
Coaches the best 3pt shooter of all time you mean? I agree with the rest
WheresYourSister
Go ahead and google “best 3 point percentage in nba history” and report back with your findings.
cantyaseekun
This is why stats alone are no good for the game. Need an eye test too. Steph is clearly better.
WheresYourSister
He just takes more shots
DatBlackDude
Sorry but stats never tell the whole story, steph will make a shot blindfolded on one leg from the parking lot. Dude hit 105 consecutive 3s!
smirkinchicken
2 ahead of curry. I didn't realise curry was third. Thought he was just behind Kerr.
WheresYourSister
Dont get me wrong, Steph is absolutely a generational shooter the likes of which we may never see again but stats are stats
WheresYourSister
Also important to note that SETH is the second best, steph is a bit further down, albiet due to his volume more than anything
YKWTII
Steph literally changed how the game of basketball is played globally. 3PT% will only matter when everything is said and done. ?♂️
