[Cladyclad]

I dont think i ever seen blacks and white unite for a cause like this in years...NOBODY likes Stephen A.

Stephen A Smith fathered a lot of NBA fans.

Pull up the old threads of SAS and the Coli LOVED this wack ass clown.



Mafukkas would get mad when I said ESPN fell off when he got there. Dude is the forefront of sports talk being loud mouth catty, petty bytch made effeminate shyt.

And yall loved that shyt DAY 1.


Same way yall watch the zesty ass shyt with Shannon and Cam and Ma$e corny ass shyt.

 

[Jean toomer]

God I love this

Man I wish David Stern was still here to get this big mouf ugly ass loser off my fukkin TV

I don't understand why ESPN thinks this doofus drives ratings he is HORRIBLE...

Get him the fukk outta here

We need more hit pieces on this clown

He’s a caricature of black men … “he’s our negro”

 

[aceboon]

I don’t understand. If you all hate this dude so much why aren’t yall watching the shows and discussing the other “analysts” all over these airwaves?

The only thing that gets discussed are other even hotter takes from podcasters.

Tim Legler had a show and you couldn’t pay people to watch it.

Legler's All-NBA pod is my favorite NBA pod, to each their own

go back to the inside stuff style of coverage

eliminate the media personalities & gossip tv shyte

hire filmmakers to capture players teams & fanbases from different creative angles(starting 5 is a move in that direction)

give the people art keep the lowbrow chat

simple

eliminate the media personalities & gossip tv shyte

That Faux News style of "journalism" ruined everything.

Add in the reality tv dramatics that people have shown they watch consistently and here we are

 

[DonRe]

Great question to ask. Has, forehead since A.I, added enough to the NBA trajectory

I stopped listening to homey since his return to espn and dont need him for anyinsight on the game or players.

The zach lowes of the world do the heavy lifting on the game stats and trends while player podcast and shows add numerous layers like the mental aspect and backstories we would never get elsewhere.

So what does he add?

 

[RhodyRum]

I thought Stephen A died and one of his rivals in journalism was shıtting on his corpse when I read the title.

 

[TheNig]

I don't mind Stephen A too much...


Or maybe I just don't care.

 

[Marlow Stanfield]

SAS is WOAT. Can't stand him.

Just because you like him don’t mean everyone else does. If we watching NBA games on ESPN, we can’t turn elsewhwre since he all over their coverage.

[Tribal Outkast]

People hate the man but yet he stay getting millions. I don’t understand.

I stopped watching him when Kellerman stepped in because I was getting triggered by all that yelling. shyt felt like domestic violence to me. You got to turn that man off and make it easy for espn to get rid of him. There’s a reason he keeps getting paid.. you can help change that

 

[Treblemaka]

Don't just blame the dealer blame the fiend.

The reason we know the names Skip and SAS is because they got ratings. People complain about the damage they did in the media but people kept viewing it every year. Even now some of yall know what SAS says because you still watch him on a regular basis. ESPN cares about selling marketing not the quality of sport coverage.

This is like people who buy Madden complaining its a trash game every year. Of course it is. You keep buying the trash then wonder why they won't change it.
