What is their to coach in the NBA? The league is in the verge of hiring female head coaches. Don't matter no more. The players run the league and the game plans. A NBA head coaching job is basically a babysitting job. That's it. That's why they don't give a shit who is the head coach. Typical NBA game plan: Shoot 3's all game, play no defense. Last 5 mins of the game, try and play defense and play a tad conservative. Sounds about right?
@@nymike06 you don't much about basketball if you're comparing babysitting to a head NBA coaching job. Definitely not a typical NBA game plan. I'm never surprised how many recite opinion before fact.
Warren sapp doesn't realize he's not being interviewed by espn. Vlad don't know much about sports. Everytime he corrects him he's SHOCKED Vlad doesn't know 😂😂
It's called race baiting he really only brings up the NFL or the NBA or any type of sports unless there's a scandal or some type of racial implication.
Exactly , vlad didn’t give af about his answer he just wanted to stirr Shyt !!! Sap fks with all races !!! He calls Shyt for what it is !!! He calls out Bs on both sides like a normal human fkn being 😂
I know when Sapp brought up why Keyshawn Johnson had beef with Gruden. He said Keyshawn wasn't the player he was supposed to be so they brought in Keenan McCardell and Joe jurevicius to help out the offense. I knew what he's talking about but I bet Vlad had no idea who those two players were. Vlad just saw that a player was against Gruden he had no idea they had personal beef back in the day
Warren sapp's first few seconds of this video is hilarious with his facial expressions.... Paying attention to Vlad as if Vlad was his father and saying "sit up straight!.... Fix that hat when I'm talking to you!... Wipe that smirk off your face!"....lol
@@RK-um9tu so if you disagree with that bs everything is racist bs you dancing for the man did you dance for the man after he said if you don't vote for me you ain't black
Sapp is right. All the power is with the owners. If it was up to the NFL then DeShaun Watson would never play a down of football again but the browns said fuck that.
All the power is not with that owners. NFL players have more power than any other athletes in this country. Players DO NOT want to strike and stand up for themselves. End of story.
@@RK-um9tu Tell that to all the all the more than qualified minorities that haven't been able to get a head coaching job cause of all the white billionaires that wont hire them. The NFL came up with the "rooney rule" but they cant enforce it.
@@kendrickbell8525 Keyshawn Johnson and Sapp haven’t liked each other in 20 years. Vlad sued Rick Ross for $4 million back in 08 when he set him up to get jumped by 4 dudes in Houston.
@@ZealKingdom hahahahahaha!!! There was a forum hosted by Ahmad Rashad, where he was interviewing Michael Jordan, Serena Williams, Roy Jones, Jr., and Warren Sapp. Sapp was basically Sapp-and cringeworthy as only he can be.
Warren will express his opinion and he's usually right. Love the comment he made years ago in reference to Green Bay's head coach. In short he advised the coach that players police players and coaches police coaches. "I Ain't hard to find".
NO he didn't cause he skipped over the fact there are 30 Billionaries in the NBA and that league has 50% black head coaches...Hell the Lakers who are the basketball verison of the Cowboys just hired a black head coach...That's why Vlad try to point that out, it don't make any sense.
You're not paying attention, Warren was saying that NBA culture is more INCLUSIVE to black management and coaches. Since the 60's and 70's with Red Auerbach and Spensor Hayward. They don't have a "Good ole boys club" like the NFL. Different sports different culture
@@BigJL facts it’s a big difference between football and basketball. In basketball one player like LeBron can change the direction of the entire franchise. Football has a 52 man roster and 3 phases of the game.
This is an inaccurate comparison. The NFL has more players and is a much bigger league. Second, if black players want to empower black coaches then start at the collegent level by going to HBCU's but they don't, they continue to go to The "U", Alabama, Ohio State, etc. Last, if they want to be radical start a new league. We just saw two new leagues started XFL and the USFL. I guys it's easier to just complain and keep cashing that check! 😂
It's not different than black wall street. When black people do something independent white people burn it down. Just like when they put drugs in minority neighbors.
Highly disagree with you on this one. Because yes there are more players per team but the NBA and NFL practically have the same amount of teams. And if anything the NFL has more coaching opportunities because of the head coaching positions and also all of the coordinators.
Ex-NBA players usually can become coaches very easily and there are many players who decide to pursue that career after retirement, however NFL players usually will have a rough time becoming coaches after retirement and most ex-players don’t even think about coaching after retirement. It’s that simple
I agree but I think that’s only a part of it. There’s less black coaches in the nfl than the nba also bc football is very closely related to and rooted in faith. Nfl owners usually have a profile of what kind of coach their players will respond to. Usually the black candidates don’t fit that profile and its not based on race. Also ask yourself this. If the lack of black nfl coaches were truly a problem, how come you never hear the black players sticking their neck for teams to hire black coaches??? They know what they want and like. The nba isn’t rooted in faith and very secular.
The last time a black player stuck his neck out for a pro-black cause the nfl blackballed him (Kap). I guarantee you that same energy encourages other black players to keep silent about certain dynamics regarding hires. To say the hiring is predominately based on faith ignores the way faith is intricately linked with socio-cultural racial trends and demographics that could be consciously and unconsciously affecting owners decisions
@@LP-ct9nk Football has always had a southern feel, as well as a very distinct and overt viewing of black players as working farm animals. The long history of every position that was considered more cerebral, white players. Every position that was mostly just physical, black players. It's extreme ignorance to claim that black players don't want or don't like black coaches. They've been wanting and voicing their desires to protect black coaches through being aware that if the team doesn't do well, it will be a long time before another one gets a chance. It was the same thing before there were any black coaches as it was with black quarterbacks. Back in the days of Deacon Jones. You can find of video of him half joking about how he wasn't going to sac Jefferson as hard because this having a black quarterback is such a rare and special occasion that he needs to be protected because there may not be another one. As Warren Sapp said, it's always been a good ol boy network. NFL players have more felt like there wasn't anything they could actively do than NBA players. And really it's only recently that in the NBA a black coach could get fired from a team and become head coach on another team. It used to be they got one chance to be head coach. Whereas white head coaches were recycled over and over.
When the nfl made the turn knowing that couldn't exclude black players from the nfl anymore they stuck to one rule that is unanimously agreed on but not publicized that rule being that there will never be a time where there is a majority black head coach or qbs that qb situation is losing its grip slowly because as of right now the SEC has majority black qbs starting in their conference and so do most power 5 teams now the coaching situation on other hand will be a bigger fight because of that
I remember when my dad mentioned something about black coaches and I didn’t understand what he was saying and the importance or it because I was too young now I understand ‼️💯
You can be intellectually dishonest all you want its not gon change the reality that the nfl will always remain majority black do to the farming system that these d1 colleges and private highschools ensure to make money. If asains showed interest in pro football and the white infrastructure that is american football committed to them like they are with the black community's to the point where you design got damn highschools just for football to grab these kids from their actaul homes then we can talk about asians coaches but as of now these positions that the leauge want hold on to for the good ol boys is at a threat
@@YoBankaccountformyparlay so should it be merit based or race based? If it's merit, don't talk about race. If it's race based, there should only be 12% blacks in sports.
