Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr says he regrets his previous dodging of questions related to China, and should have more forcefully defended Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey's right to free speech.
Kerr recently spoke to the Washington Post's Candace Buckner for an article on white NBA coaches and social justice. Buckner's article makes no mention of the league's spat with China — a notable omission given Kerr's role in the incident and recent high-profile feuds centered around charges of hypocrisy that the league goes all-in against police brutality and systemic racism at home while turning a blind eye to human rights abuses in China due to the league's financial interests.
