    Kenny easily has the best basketball mind on that show. Very sharp, articulate guy. I totally get why they would want him.

    And by the way, not only was Kerr an analyst before he was a head coach, so was Pat Riley. And the Warriors GM was an agent before he got the job. You guys crack me up with your holier-than-thou, "he's a joke" take.

    That's a mighty low bar you've set there. Have you ever listened to Shaq and Chuck talk?

    Maybe HCP should apply. I'm thinking he would have a shot.

    I heard the lunch interview didn't go very well because he was yelling, "FEED THE BIG MAN" and they just kept bringing food not realizing he was describing his offense.

    Sorry, but some of us deal with stress through humor.

    Kerr was widely regarded (especially on this forum) as the best analyst on ANY network. He didn't do schticks, he didn't do gimmicks. He just dropped knowledge.

    I wouldn't be surprised if he dropped the mic after every game he did.

    This is true.

    I am not seeking the Houston Rocket head coaching position.

    If asked, I will not under any circumstances live or work in that hell hole.

    Kerr took the best team in the West, traded Marion for Shaq and watched them tumbl down the standings and lose in the first round.

    How does "The Brownsville Rockets" sound to you?

    Kenny smith could be a good coach in the right situation. I hope he doesn't take the job though, for two reasons. 1. Rockets suck and they will fire him after the season even though their being shitty is not his fault. 2. I like hearing him on inside, and without him that show would be the Chuck and Shaq goon hour.

    Morey also interviewed Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys after hearing the lyrics "inside, outside USA " from the song Surfin' USA. He thought that idea might line up with his offensive philosophy. After finding out that Wilson stayed to himself and often didn't travel with the rest of the Beach Boys, Morey concluded that James Harden already fills that role with the squad and the two would probably butt heads at some point.

    I can see Kenny being a coach in the right situation. But that isn't the right situation. The Rockets are literally this....

    Kerr was a horrible analyst IMHO. And I fucking hate him on my 2K.

    Wow really?

    I can't stand Steve Kerr. And, even though he's Republican, he's not anywhere near Greg Anthony.

    I'd love to have Shaq as an assistant. I think he'd be a great big man coach.
