On Monday’s ESPN “First Take,” Stephen A. Smith reported that several black NBA coaches were unhappy with LeBron James and J.J. Redick doing a podcast together while Darvin Ham was the Lakers’ coach. After Ham was fired in early May, Redick is now the frontrunner for the job.
“Numerous coaches, black coaches, called me expressing how they took issue with that podcast taking place,” Smith said. “Some of them felt very salty about that.”
Molly Qerim asked Smith why they were upset about it.
