Spencer Dinwiddie thinks the Brooklyn Nets’ hiring of Steve Nash as head coach made sense on more than one level.

Spencer Dinwiddie was the first member of the Brooklyn Nets to publicly address the franchise’s hiring of Steve Nash.

Y’all wanted a third star

I love the Steve Nash hire.

So much of coaching at this level is being a psychologist I think Caris [LeVert] is the third star so that’d mean 4 rockstars in the building

Further roster construction will be interesting.

Now Dinwiddie has become the first Nets player to address the notion that Nash being hired as head coach is an example of white privilege.

“Obviously white privilege is a thing, 1000%,” the Nets point guard said to Shlome Sprung of Forbes. “But in this situation, he’s only one of the most qualified basketball players of all time and is friends with the stars of our team and the GM of the team [Sean Marks]. It kind of makes sense beyond the fact that he doesn’t have coaching experience.”
