John Smith You have never been a victim. I understand why you would say that but the suffering of others should move you to do your best to stop it. Racism is still here. It's a taught way of thinking that CAN be stopped.
John Smith you want people to shut up about racism because it's uncomfortable. If racism doesn't affect you personally, it's predictable that you would brush it off and act like it doesn't exist or rarely exists. It's easy to tell people to get over it when it doesn't affect you personally
Adam Taylor I hate Fox News with a passion but Fox sports is definitely more open then Disney because Disney you gotta be sensitive with this topic but here you can actually be more open
***** yeah because every little thing is offensive and everyone wants to censor every little thing. Sorry but no.. he made a joke get over it. Anything for a storyline..
***** it is political correctness at its finest. Let people express themselves and joke how they want to joke. It is all about intent. If you star censoring the things you don't like then don't get mad when people try to censor the things you do like.
Jonathan Yaghoubi because he wants to. Who are you to say what people can and can't joke about? It is a joke and you can joke about whatever you want but sadly people like to get offended over everything.
Sohaib Hassan well the jokes have been made and whether you like it not they have an audience. You don't get to decide what jokes are over the line and which aren't. You don't have to like them but you can't censor them. Your comment is ignorant to reality. Many people enjoy offensive humor it is a normal thing. There is a difference between humor and actual racism. You tried but failed to understand the world around you and can only see thing from your own sensitive bubble.
Shannon is right on point. I don't care if Andre is joking but you don't do that during an interview you just don't. Now if you wanna joke around with your team that different but you don't make comments like that!
AnDr3w066 because I'm someone who looks at the bigger picture and to make a joke like that is not funny. Especially right now when everybody can take that and twist it anyway they want. And you mention free speech which I agree with but that doesn't mean it was ok to say.
Slay Whitehurst no i am not. You want to police the things you don't like then I don't want to hear any resistance when they try to police the things you like. Censorship is a slippery slope kid and it has no color attached to it.
Jon Collins you've never heard people refer to pro sports the modern day slavery, Iggy can say it if he wants. Lots of black youth get geared towards sports at a young age instead of school. It is what it is
All respect to Shanon, he spoke the truth. Players now days are either whining about playing to much or too less, but truthfully they are getting paid millions of dollars and they are to soft nowadays. Miss the Jordan, Shaq, Kobe, all the old school era. They never complained about playing to much or money!!
Harold Payne you act like all the NBA players are talented players. if you do then there is no longer to reply for ik your knowledge is very very limited.
DaSweetScience ofBoxing Well there's 15 players on a total of 30 teams. Which is 450, so I'll round to 500 to be safe. 500 professional basketball players out of the US population is a very small percentage. Chances are they are pretty talented to set themselves apart from the billions who didn't make it.
Shannon Sharp put that so well. Much respect for this guy. He never went on a tiraid about racisim, he looked at it logically and spoke the facts. Great player, better analyst.
The reality of what Shannon says in such a profound way, knowing what he's told us about his background, his accomplishments, his upbringing, and something about hearing it in his accent makes it much more meaningful.
Iguodala is unprofessional. As a african american male, I will never defend my race when they conjure up racial things like this. Iguodala thinks he is in hood or something.
you, along with so many others, aren't reading between the lines here... if you don't look at context or even know exactly what mindstate led up to those remarks, how can you even attempt to judge??
We can judge the minute he said it to an outlet that is meant to inform the public to make their judgements lol. You're right that we don't know the whole story but that's why you keep it internal and don't say stuff like this to a news outlet. Obviously we're going to judge that's literally the point of these interviews so if there's more to the story it's on iggy to either explain all of it or realize he shouldn't have said anything to us (the public)
that may be true but he said it through an outlet where everyone is listening. Whether its right or wrong what he said is different for every person but to think people aren't going to judge is pretty ignorant
Black America1 If we were in slavery time I don't think kerr would be master maybe overseas the owner of the team would be master maybe he was referring to the owner
finally someone that saw his comments for what they were. I could understand Steven A being ok with it, even Kevin wilbon but jalen rose really shocked me
because they can talk whoever they want. this idiots blowing every little thing out of proportion. respect for his heritage lol nah he is just stuck up on the past like it matters
kreed82 there shouldn't be a problem with it and there shouldn't be outcry over it. It is a joke and taking a joke seriously is one of the dumbest things you can do. It is just a pathetic attempt to conjure a story where there isn't one
AnDr3w066 that's what they are calling it but as Andre said it he didn't look like he's was joking. And even if it was its an inside joke, which means what he says on camera will stand on its own without the benefit of context. For someone they are all calling smart this was pretty boneheaded. Considering who you have in office, the voting suppression in NC the cuts being made to housing and urban development "jokes" of this nature have no place
I absolutely agree to with Shannon. This is absolutely uncalled for. There is no reason or precedent to make such comments. Steve Kerr is wanting to help him- not over work him- because he cares about his players.
trevion sewell You would *have* CUT him over that? There's people that take drugs and beat their wives that don't get cut from professional sports teams.
trevion sewell you would cut One of the best defenders in the league, one of the best 6th Man in the league, and a Former Finals MVP of league because of something stupid he said?
steve kerr knows iggy personally...the team knows iggy personally... we dont. Iggy probably did that to move the conversation away from their slump and steph's slump
What I find funny is how everyone was up in arms over Phil Jackson using the word posse to describe Lebron James and his friends but everyone is real quiet over this. Its rediculous! The same indignation that was shown then should definitely be shown now point blank period. Because I don't think Phil Jackson was meaning anything remotely racist but Iguodala was most certainly was.
Everybody has said something stupid once or twice in their life.. this was one of those times... when u have cameras and Mics constantly on you, and you are asked a question right after a lost.. or let's put it in a prospective of a everyday person., right after a breakup, or a job fires you, or a customer has just complained about your customer service and you get a write up. Or better yet u just found out you have cancer then someone ask you a dumb question.. How do u feel now that you just got that news? How would u respond? Think about it
Andre Igoudala should be fired from the NBA. Oh, he gets a pass to say that when millions of people and kids can watch the interview because he is black? No. He makes millions of dollars and is world famous and he trivializes those who suffered through slavery. That comment in a work place would be a fireable offense. The NBA is a business. He should be fired.
1000% agree Shannon! - what one says around your friends is one thing - but to say that in a reply to the media was jackassness - Steve Kerr is way to lenient with these cats... this would have NEVER got passed Mark Jackson. He needs to make an apology....I lost a lot of respect for Iggy
btw andre was right okc was gonna win the chip if draymond didnt get into KD's head by texting him throughout the series to join them and made kd play bad for the last 3 games
As a jew, i can totally agree with him. A lot of people that have no connection to the holocaust, can never understand that the fear of coming back to those times are real even for young people in israel. When i was a kid, i found my grandfather hiding beneath his bed because he heard some new neighbor speaking german behind the door. And it was something like 50-60 years after he survived the holocaust and came to israel. And those emotions goes from generation to generation.. I really belive that the same thing is happening when people talk things about slavery. The emotions are still there even if you never experience the slavery yourself.
Steve Kerr is one of the most thoughtful men in sports. Coach Kerr is not above criticism, but "reasonable" coaching decisions should never be likened to something as abhorrent as slavery. ESPECIALLY when the players (rightfully so) get paid substantially more than the coaches.
What did you make of Andre Iguodala's comments?
John Smith Not really
John Smith You have never been a victim. I understand why you would say that but the suffering of others should move you to do your best to stop it. Racism is still here. It's a taught way of thinking that CAN be stopped.
John Smith how do u know only a minor percentage of people are racist ?
Brian Hillenbrand he is actually making more money than 99% of the population
John Smith you want people to shut up about racism because it's uncomfortable. If racism doesn't affect you personally, it's predictable that you would brush it off and act like it doesn't exist or rarely exists. It's easy to tell people to get over it when it doesn't affect you personally
Mr Sharp always be on point. He point out and speak on things that some people won't acknowledge to.
Respect 2 shannon sharp 4 always standing up like a true person (1 with 4 thought, 1 with conviction &1of principles)
Adam Taylor He's one of the most intelligent analysts when it comes to things outside of sports, by far.
Nick Givens FACTS
Adam Taylor I hate Fox News with a passion but Fox sports is definitely more open then Disney because Disney you gotta be sensitive with this topic but here you can actually be more open
Because he is black, and we let minorities say whatever they want.

You can't help but respect Shannon for what he spoke here.

who cares.. another instance of media blowing comments out of proportion to make a story..
***** yeah because every little thing is offensive and everyone wants to censor every little thing. Sorry but no.. he made a joke get over it. Anything for a storyline..
***** it is political correctness at its finest. Let people express themselves and joke how they want to joke. It is all about intent. If you star censoring the things you don't like then don't get mad when people try to censor the things you do like.

And he stripped James the year after in game 3

Props to Shannon sharpe for his insight and honesty.
Completely agree with Shannon.
because an athlete making a joke is just too much right? jesus get over it
AnDr3w066 why joke about that? What is the point???
Jonathan Yaghoubi because he wants to. Who are you to say what people can and can't joke about? It is a joke and you can joke about whatever you want but sadly people like to get offended over everything.
Sohaib Hassan well the jokes have been made and whether you like it not they have an audience. You don't get to decide what jokes are over the line and which aren't. You don't have to like them but you can't censor them.

AnDr3w066 amen
"My grandmother used to say..."
It took to the final five seconds but damn it Shannon you still got it in there.
Shannon is right on point. I don't care if Andre is joking but you don't do that during an interview you just don't. Now if you wanna joke around with your team that different but you don't make comments like that!
who are you to say how andre can joke around in an interview. grow up kid
AnDr3w066 who are you to question someone someone for questioning someone
Jalen Clinton someone that knows the value of free speech. It protects you as well so you are welcome
narrickcuz wtf he is their master , he's their coach it was literally a joke lmao wtf
AnDr3w066 because I'm someone who looks at the bigger picture and to make a joke like that is not funny. Especially right now when everybody can take that and twist it anyway they want. And you mention free speech which I agree with but that doesn't mean it was ok to say.
Shannon is 100% correct. There is no excuse for what Igudala said and it shows his ignorance.
he can say what he wants people getting butthurt over every single thing. grow up
AnDr3w066 are you white?
Slay Whitehurst no i am not. You want to police the things you don't like then I don't want to hear any resistance when they try to police the things you like. Censorship is a slippery slope kid and it has no color attached to it.
AnDr3w066 you grow up. Respecting others is key to maturity. It's very ignorant to make unnecessary comments for "no real reason" as Andre did.
Jon Collins you've never heard people refer to pro sports the modern day slavery, Iggy can say it if he wants. Lots of black youth get geared towards sports at a young age instead of school. It is what it is
Shannon Sharpe might be the best commentator on sports in America today.....

Gagndip Singh didnt kobe complain about money in his final years tho 🤔
I think he got jealous seeing the young ones getting paid
Maxben it's not about being jealous, but the Warriors had been complaining about the schedule throughout the season
corey thomas be a bit more respectful, and I'm just agreeing with Shanon!!
Kobe was constantly complaining. What are you on about?
This was a teaching moment for Iguodala. Great job Shannon!! Very Inspirational.
I swear, Shannon is the voice of reason in these crazy times
Shannon speaking facts
Can I have a master that will play me millions of dollars to play a game?

I love Shannon. Agree, whole heartedly with what he said.
Shannon Sharpe is on point with this one, very well said. Andre Iguadala is ignorant af, this coming form a black man
Shannon Sharp put that so well. Much respect for this guy. He never went on a tiraid about racisim, he looked at it logically and spoke the facts. Great player, better analyst.
3:18
Thats the whole thing right there. Sharpe nailed it
The reality of what Shannon says in such a profound way, knowing what he's told us about his background, his accomplishments, his upbringing, and something about hearing it in his accent makes it much more meaningful.
the money gets to these guys lmao
So true, Iggy thinks he's the man. So far off...
He's a clown.
Agree still a plantation
Thank you Mr. Sharpe once again for teaching the IGNORANT. I hope that YOU reach this fool in some way. Much RESPECT to you.
Shannon's always on point
Mann I wish I would've met Shannon's grandmother. She spoke straight facts. The old African Americans grandma's spoke nothing but truth.
Shannon is amazing.

WOW!!!! Shannon brilliant response!!!
Iggy is the reason why Black people often say that they don't want athletes held up as examples of our community..
Tod Wilkinson what do you mean?
Black America1 how tf did iggy get brought into this
Kaylen Howard Iggy is Andre's nickname
exactly!!
Black America1 If we were in slavery time I don't think kerr would be master maybe overseas the owner of the team would be master maybe he was referring to the owner
couldn't of said it better myself. big ups Shannon.

I have to 100% agree with Shannon here.
I couldn't understand that either Shannon. I was shocked and disappointed, sounded crazy.
That was disrespectful to Steve Kerr for Iggy to say that I would of cut him honestly and I'm a Warriors fan
trevion sewell You would *have* CUT him over that? There's people that take drugs and beat their wives that don't get cut from professional sports teams.
trevion sewell you would cut One of the best defenders in the league, one of the best 6th Man in the league, and a Former Finals MVP of league because of something stupid he said?

Steve Kerr already told the media that they got "Andre'd" And that Steve Kerr didn't take anything personally by his comments
You would cut the only guy on your team who can kinds sorta guard lebron or kawhi leonard? You might as well cut kd and steph too if you cut iggy lmao
What I find funny is how everyone was up in arms over Phil Jackson using the word posse to describe Lebron James and his friends but everyone is real quiet over this. Its rediculous!

Does anyone have the link for when he talk about jay cutler winning 4 super bowls back i the 80s it was the best scene EVER

How would u respond? Think about it
Andre went too far even if you get his premise smh
there is no going too far with a joke.. grow up
AnDr3w066 so what if someone "joked" about killing another person's mom? You can definitely go too far with a "joke"
T. GO again key word JOKE... the intent is what matter and the context. Grow up
Shannon Sharpe another insightful critique sir
Couldn't agree more with Shannon's assessment.

Shannon is one of my guys . !

Where the full show??

Shannon Sharpe is a Gazillion percent right on this....
I appreciate Shannon Sharpe.

WELL SAID SHANNON!!! IT'S NEVER OK, GRANDMA IS RIGHT!!
btw andre was right okc was gonna win the chip if draymond didnt get into KD's head by texting him throughout the series to join them and made kd play bad for the last 3 games

The Warriors players aren't smiling and giggling all over the TV screens anymore.
And you're probably one of those haters that are happy about it, right?
That's what happens when players get cocky and too full of themselves.

he wasnt talking about kerr he was talking about the NBA and the schedule.
Lebron is Iguodala's master after that block he put on him in game 7 of the 2016 nba Finals lmao 😂
Damn Shannon actually saying something meaningful and accurate
Django Igoudala🤣🤣🤣
Exactly! Good take on this, I agree with Shannon. Meanwhile on First Take they're not addressing the real issue and letting Iggy off the hook.
he has the right idea!!!

I really belive that the same thing is happening when people talk things about slavery. The emotions are still there even if you never experience the slavery yourself.
I’m Jewish too and I agree bro it’s a cruel world
thank u shannon sharpe.
Shannon is accurate as always

Shannon was on point
I'm glad that Shannon pointed out Andre's 'best team' comments from last year. It literally doesn't make any sense.
Steve Kerr is one of the most thoughtful men in sports. Coach Kerr is not above criticism, but "reasonable" coaching decisions should never be likened to something as abhorrent as slavery. ESPECIALLY when the players (rightfully so) get paid substantially more than the coaches.
After reading Andre's book, he explains that he was just angry during the interview and he said at the time he didn't care
What is steph curry response to his comments Draymond Green response
