You, of all people, should know the difference between totalitarian countries and free ones.
I have been a fan for a long time. I watched you make your way from college to the NBA. And from the broadcast booth into management and coaching. Always, you were prepared. Always, you were professional. Always, you were truthful.
Few Americans know your story. I'm Lebanese, so I do. You were born in the country my grandparents left. Your dad, a Middle East scholar, taught at UCLA for over two decades. Thanks to his work, you spent time in places most American ball players haven't—let alone most Americans. You lived not just in Lebanon but also in places like Tunisia, Egypt and France.
As to why he was he murdered, a friend and colleague had his explanation. AUB"attracted a variety of ethnicities, and they really got along together. That was why he went back. And that was precisely what the Iranians wanted to get rid of," UCLA Professor Emeritus David Rapoport, a political violence expert and a Kerr family friend, told."The attack on him, while it was not really a personal attack—the symbolism was really quite obvious.
You broke the NBA record for most regular season wins for a rookie coach, and were the first rookie to win an NBA Finals since Pat Riley in 1982. You returned to the NBA Finals every year since, winning two and losing two. You then dug an even deeper hole for yourself. Rather than talking honestly about the stark differences between the Chinese government and ours, you played a false equivalence game."None of us are perfect, and we all have different issues we have to get to," you told reporters last week."People in China didn't ask me about, you know, people owning AR-15s and mowing each other down in a mall.
You have no opinion about a government with absolutely no separation of powers and a type of totalitarianism not seen since the days of Stalin, Steve? A totalitarian power hell-bent on repressing not just its own people but also the people of Hong Kong? Do you believe freedom of conscience and expression is a birthright for all human beings? Or just some? Or is that too black-and-white for you?
