Lonzo whole point was check your sources. He NEVER said he was gonna play this year or he was healthy. He was saying that the source that said he couldn’t get out of a chair without struggling was ridiculous. That’s literally it.
This is why so many hate when reporters use "my sources"...it's literally a license to say whatever you want. Stephen A could've got into contact with Lonzo and asked him about the knee before going on TV saying he has trouble getting up.
@@ryanlebard3787 Not saying he doesn't have sources. But he could've easily called up Lonzo to talk to him bout it. Rather than blurt stuff on TV without any actual knowledge.
@ryanlebard3787 Right. These people are killing me with, "He could've asked Lonzo." Reporters get lied to all the time from the person in question. That's why they have sources. They don't just listen to anybody who claims to know something. They look for reputable sources who are close to the subject.
@@ryanlebard3787 Why wouldn't he if it's true but it clearly wasn't. He never bothered to ask lonzo himself is the point. Just pretty much ran with gossip.
SAS, take the L like a man. Zo proved your source wrong. Nothing to do with is past injuries. He did what your source said he couldn't do. Come on now Shannon, keep it real.
SAS is not the man to trust for intel or a knowledgeable take on anything. He’s simply an entertainer, a television actor in the world of sports entertainment. Dude cuts promos for a living like a wrestler
YOU ARE BEING EXTREMELY NICE TO STEPHEN A SMITH. IN ACTUALITY HE IS 1. A DEMONSTRATED AND PROVEN LIAR 2. HE IS A SLOPPY ,LAZY SPORTS JOURNALIST. HE IS REALLY A MALE WENDY WILLIAMS AND HE LIES SO MUCH I WANT TO KNOW IF HE IS RELATED TO JAYSON BLAIR
He’s more than that unfortunately. He’s the media and can influence the masses what he says and a lot of those sheep’s will jump on whatever bandwagon by what he says.
Lol this dude still can't own his mistake. He only address of him can't stand on one leg not playing and Steven want to move the goal post with that reply to make himself look valid, such a clown move
There was seriously nothing wrong with Lonzo’s post though. From where I sit, ITS ONLY SAS who is taking this whole thing personal and to another level. Lonzo’s post was playful and funny AF. SAS starts bringing up the past seasons like a child arguing with his/her siblings “yeah well, do you remember when so and so, blah blah blah” that’s irrelevant to the subject 😂
I’m surprised he still has the balls to put out false information just to create narratives and talking points like his massa’s tell him to after LeBron destroyed his credibility within the NBA after creating fake stories about him. NBA stars used to always go on first take but it’s been few and far between ever since. I can’t wait till new media makes ESPN go bankrupt.
MY SOURCES TOLD ME THE FOLLOWING ABOUT STEPHEN A SMITH 1. H E REALLY IS FROM EAST ELMHURST AND NOT HOLLIS. 2 HE NEVER PLAYED HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL FOR THOMAS EDISON 3. HE EVER PLAYED BASKETBALL FOR COSCH MARVIN RIPPY AT THE " FASHION INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY 4. HE NEVER GOT A COLLEGE BASKETBALL SCHOLARSHIP TO WINSTO SALEM STATE UNIVERSITY
The problem with Stephen A saying his sources may not always be right is you’re saying something that could hurt my brand, potential contracts, business ventures and or livelihood. Then when you’re source is proving false you still don’t admit your wrong just continue with a personal attack
A JOURNALIST IS SUPPOSED TO PRESENT VERIFIED TRUTH. IF HE DOES NOT PRESENT VERIFIED TRUTH THEN HE HAS NOT " FACT CHECK" HIS STORY PROPERLY, WHICH MEANS HE IS INCOMPETENT AND LAZY .I BELIEVE STEPHEN.A SMITH IS 1.INCOMPETENT 2. LAZY 3 UNETHICAL
@@wereallscrewed9714 man stop… because when Stephen A gets called out for credibility the he lashes out to protect his brand. He knows credibility is his brand.
His pride is awful. He said something he shouldn't have said, and he sits there with an arrogance like he's the "it". Stephen A, is a small little man.
i get all stephen a really cares about is attention i mean its the nature of his business but the straight idiocy of him and this whole situation is just pathetic and sad on his end
The should be fairness in reporting. Get the persons response before reporting. A malicious person may leak info that is misleading to discredit others or even the reporter
A JOURNALIST 'S FIRST RESPONSIBILITY IS TO REPORT VERIFIED TRUTH. STEPHEN A SMITH TRIES TO MAKE IT OKAY TO REPORT THINGS BECAUSE SOMEBODY TOLD HIM SOMETHING. THAT AINT JOURNALISM. THAT IS BEING UNETHICAL WHILE DIMINISHING SOMEONE'S PROFESSIONAL STANDING IN THEIR INDUSTRY
Stephen A is a clown. If he has so many sources he should've contacted Lonzo directly before saying something so dumb that directly affects the players ability to put food on the table
I don’t understand why y’all think he’s lying. As someone who’s torn their ACL and meniscus I can attest that you can have both good and bad days and depending on when someone sees you and how you’re feeling can dictate their perception. Some days you think you’re progressing and on track other days you wonder if you’re ever going to get better .
Lol no one is texting him. It's so funny that he can just say players, coaches etc. text me just to sound like he's important. Players especially nowadays have their own brands, podcasts etc. They do it themselves on their channels.
Miss the whole point. Ok you was right once. I don't know anybody that if you say something about them they gonna ask who told you that. Don't say a source said it because alot of times people lie.
Sad a grown man that claims he is a journalist act like a child.... I mean focus on sports reporting and stop insulting others....i mean his two daughters can be talked down on by anybody just for fun or a pay check
stephen a and BSPN, formerly known as ESPN, used to be credible. now its all about entertainment. he should have apologized to zo the same way he apologized to melo and ai when he didnt contact them before going on the airways with some nonsense
WHY DOES HE NOT IDENTIFY HIS SOURCES? WHY IS HIS JOB MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE PLAYER WHOSE PROFESSIONAL CHARACTER AD REPUTATION HE IS ATTACKING WITH COWARDLY ANONYMOUS SOURCES?
After two days at first take, Shannon Sharpe is finally getting the respect he deserves, and Finally StephenASmith has met a fair match and you can see the respect for one another. First take is back
You have to take responsibility 100% if your source doesn’t have the platform you have SAS. Take it to your chest. You’re wrong. If you say that statement on national television that can ruin a players career. Take responsibility. Extremely lame.
SAS fails to realize the source could be SETTING HIM UP TO FAIL.........your wrong and heres the reason WHY...........like a broad......BRUH u was outta line about Stephen Ballberry
Stephen A is defiantly credible when it comes to moving the goal post.
