The Disinformation Around Kerr Is What's Wrong With Modern-Day NBA Discourse

[TM101]

Tatum played 70 minutes over the course of the Olympics. Now, just to put that into perspective, Derrick White played 79 minutes and Embiid played 84 minutes, respectively.

Why are you speaking like he didn't even get out on the floor?

Whatever the media speaks on really is of no concern of the coach. The coaching staff shouldn't allow the media to dictate their gameplan around winning. I mean, are we in the business of winning gold or winning over feelings?

You have to go by the metric people are complaining about. They are complaining about DNPs, not minutes played.

There's a famous saying.

Something about listening to the fans...you'll end up being one of them.

To a large extent, sports organizations have to ignore the whims of the media and public.

End of the day what's the result here? Tatum, Lebron, Curry, Durant, Embiid...they're Olympic champions. Steve Kerr and his team achieved their goal.

We gonna be mad about wrinkly dollar bills here? You know what I'm saying?

Gil explained it perfectly in an earlier post.
But to reiterate: this is about highlighting the hypocrisy.

Steve Kerr has coached teams to 4 NBA Championships and an Olympic gold medal.

We supposed to believe this is an accident?

Except they weren't just complaining about his DNP, they were complaining about his role, in general.

But to that point though -

When they were complaining about when Tatum got his DNP against Serbia in the pool game, they ran them muh'fukkas off the floor, beating them by 26 points, showing complete dominance from pretty much start to finish.

What could there possibly be to complain about?

They won.

And not only did they win, they won -- comprehensively -- dominating in almost every single fashion.

I can't fathom how we ended up coming out of that game and the main talking point from it was x-player getting a DNP. That right there is what's the problem with the discourse around hoops. We've all lost our collective minds because of this culture of needing to create controversy out of the basketball orderly.

"I'm not reading all that!!"

I copied the text into a word counter.
1,608 words

Then I googled how long it would take, on average, to read an article that was 1,500 words long.

The answer was 5 minutes.
That's too much time for some folks.

The coli dot com y'all.

That's about 4 1/2 minutes too long for me playa

In the old days this post would’ve got about 15-20 Colin Powell GIFs

Kerr and staff deserve their flowers.
