I'd have thought it was for his work with Bruce Lee in
Game of Death.

MOO, one of the many reasons why racism in America remains a difficult topic to discuss is that we hold to binary conceptualizations. We strive to talk in terms of black and white (pun intended) without discussing also the myriad tones of grey. And I think that there's a difference between accounting for the role of racism in our past and present and holding individuals and groups accountable for the past by punishing them in the present.

My POV is not that KAJ would be a great coach but that he has the background as a player and as an assistant coach that indicate he's qualified to get an interview for a job as a head coach in the NBA.

The NBA has also had great players who became outstanding coaches. This list includes Tom Heinsohn and Bill Sharman.

How can a person produce results in the NBA if he's never given a team to coach?
