  1. Did you know that it’s impossible to breathe while smiling??

    Just kidding. Wanted y’all to smile. Have a phenomenal week.

  2. I am ecstatic for Jacque Vaughan. He's a breath of fresh air for the franchise. This man has paid his dues, and is coaching/nurturing a fragile team to victories. The Nets are looking good right now.

  3. They just wanted them to hire him so the media can go ham and talk about the drama all season and scrutinize them hiring him

  4. ASA would but thank goodness that there are other people with a sense of culture(importance of team culture with in an organization).

  5. I agree with SAS. Udoka would’ve been a huge plus for the Nets. What he did isn’t a big deal and shouldn’t be treated as if he broke the law or did something hateful. Nets loss.

  6. The nets were in a lose lose situation. Had they hired him they would have criticized the move and now since they didn’t they going to drag them for not doing. All in all ESPN just want to talk about the nets

  7. SAS should be S "F" S. You don't reward bad behaviors with a contract. One side of your mouth talks about bad selfish individual character ruin the Nets "Kyrie" and your third mouth which is your behind just passes stinky air. IME deserves a second chance but down the road when he earns it back.

  8. yet u FOOLS on tv pick the nets for four years & disregard the kd brooklyn era epic failure still . 🤡🤡

  9. Hey jackass … that dude coached for one season on a real lucky team and he is elite !!!??? This same jerky nut job said that he would not be a good fit for the nets last week . 🤣🤭

  10. nets did the right thing. jacque is actually a good man and paid his dur. he deserve this chance

  11. As a Celtics fan I'm glad they didn't hire ime..and I'm not even saying he's a bad coach..he's great but seeing him with the rival on top of the media mess it would make over there…nets made the right move.

  12. How would Udoka bring stability he just blew up the Celtics organization with what he did that isn't stability or a stable man Steven A. Smith come on

  13. Stephen A has never praised Udoka this much (outside of comparing him to Brad Stevens) the videos are online, throughout the entire playoff run the way he’s talking about Ime NEVER did like he has been

  14. Yeah I think so too. I honestly think he the only one that could of got Kyrie to stick around and after that bs list they put it they gonna have a problem attracting another BLACK star in there especially when KD crank that trade request back up.

  15. Hilarious that Stephen A Smith will cry wolf about black coaches in sports not getting enough opportunities. Yet when one gets hired he says well it should've been this other black coach.

  16. David stern wouldn’t have lasted as the head of the nba these days. The things they let him do in the 80s and 90s would fly at all

  17. The Nets have no spine as an organization. Hire who you want its your organization.

  18. Hire Udoka it’s not like your franchise going to get worse do what you wanna do stop making decisions based on how everybody else feel about it should of hired Udoka
