\n Charles Barkley made it known that he was very disapp<\/a>ointed in some of the reactions to the Brooklyn Nets hiring Steve Nash.<\/p>\n

Nash being named the Nets head coach on Thursday was a surprise, with pundits pointing to his lack of experience. ESPN analyst Stephen A. Smith chose to portray the hire as a case of \u201cwhite privilege,\u201d pointing to a number of Black candidates \u2014 included former interim coach Jacque Vaughn \u2014 who were passed over.<\/p>\n

Barkley, it appeared, directly called Smith out, and he did not hold back.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was very disappointed in some of the guys on television today talking about white privilege. Very disappointed,\u201d Barkley said on TNT\u2019s \u201cInside the NBA\u201d on Thursday. \u201cThey\u2019re like, \u2018Well, this doesn\u2019t happen to Black guys.\u2019 And I\u2019m like, \u2018It happened to Doc Rivers. It happened to Jason Kidd. It happened to Derek Fisher.\u2019<\/p>\n

Nine of the 16 coaches hired without any previous experience since 1978-79 are Black.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you have a responsibility, especially when you have to talk about something as serious as race, you can\u2019t be full of crap,\u201d Barkley said. \u201cYou\u2019ve got to be honest and fair.<\/p>\n

\u201cSteve Nash is a great player and a good dude. But I was so disappointed in some of these guys. I was like, \u2018Dude, Black guys have done this before.\u2019 Now, do we need more Black coaches in the NBA? Yes. Do we need more Black coaches in college football? Yes. Do we need more Black coaches in pro football. Yes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thursday, Smith asserted on \u201cFirst Take\u201d that \u201cThis does not happen for a Black man.\u201d On Friday\u2019s edition of the show, he did not back down in the face of criticism from Barkley and others.<\/p>\n

\u201cI mentioned white privilege (Thursday),\u201d he said. \u201cI have a message to those who feel that I was wrong, that I need to apologize, that I don\u2019t know what I\u2019m talking about, etc., etc. I don\u2019t give a damn what y\u2019all feel. Y\u2019all can all kick rocks. I don\u2019t give a damn. I\u2019m not budging from my position one inch.\u201d<\/p>\n

He clarified that, while Black coaches have been hired without experience before, he doesn\u2019t believe they would get the same chance Nash has, inheriting a roster with Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and championship aspirations. Nash served as a player development consultant for the Golden State warriors and built a notable relationship with now Nets star Kevin Durant, a role that likely helped his cause with Durant and Irving, thought to be the main player voices behind the Nets\u2019 hire.<\/p>\n

\u201cBlack folks with no resume getting a job like that?\u201d Smith continued, \u201cI have been covering the NBA for 25 years\u2026 brothers do not get those opportunities.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
