As much as I love Stephen A he is literally the biggest Gloater I’ve ever seen 😂 he even managed to make Kobes Death about a Convo they had right before his death according to him 💀
Haha ya i cringed when he says stuff like " i'm not just doing a podcast i'm doing a show, i'm employing ppl i got a vision. Not only does he refer to himself a lot he comes off like an ass saying that to someone whose also getting into podcasts. Like his dream is grand versus buddies paltry ambition.
Kyrie deserved to be called out when it came to the $$$. He was MIA and collecting the $$. He was a better than Simmons cause at least he did occasionally play. But remember every time SAS called Kyrie he prefaced it by referring to him as BOX OFFICE and MUST SEE. Problem was whether or not he was going to be allowed to play. It was a recurring theme.
wish melo snapped back at the media more often cuz *A LOT* of the dumb shit ya say and believe is nonsense but hey he's melo, sometimes to a fault, and thats my GOAT so im not goin for it just cuz he took the highroad over n over again
Facts. The media just invented such a false narrative about one of the nicest guys to ever play the game and ruined his career and sheeple followed it and acted like there are really 450 players better than Melo. When tbh there aren't 100 players in the NBA better than Melo right now
@@itsdavidfr2594 no, admitting when you’re wrong takes place after you do an action, recognize it as wrong, and voluntarily come forward with an apology. Being backed into a corner comes when you don’t want to apologize, avoid the issue, and are eventually forced to say something addressing it due to outside forces. There’s a difference.
@@Nyualum21 well he said something, realized he was wrong from someone explaining it to him in another sense, and they immediately apologized after. That is admitting when your wrong lol.
@@itsdavidfr2594 he repeatedly doesn’t do that though 😂 for example with Kyrie Irving. He bashed him all over first take and decides to “apologize” months later, say it’s been resolved for awhile, and only addressed it after PG asking. If he was truly remorseful he would’ve apologized on first take, a much larger platform than PGs podcast and the same platform where he incited the beef to begin with, he wouldn’t have needed PG to prompt him to say something, and it would’ve been done months ago instead of now. That’s an example of something he doesn’t want to address, but was put in a position where he pretty much had to. There’s plenty more as well, like the Kwame Brown stuff.
🧢🎩👮Stephen A still hasnt learned from the AI situation if he had the same issue with Kyrie and Melo. if you are paid more to gossip. the correction part after the fact is crazy. he said the BK Nets shouldnt give Kyrie a max extension. pocket watching
Lol I dont think u know what pocket watching means! SAS has been very clear repeatedly as to why kyrie shouldnt get max extension...get facts and detials b4 u accuse
@@truuff actually SAS mentioned the dirty secrets of journalism. Kyrie was a major money maker for SAS. whether it was long term contract with BK or his stance on vaccine. the facts are documented on Stephen A show First Take. choose one either AI, Melo, Kyrie they are public figures and SAS has put out alot of negative press on these black athletes. like AI said to him it was you(Stephen A) with the name behind the story.
another point. journalism has changed for the worst since editors are pushing the buttons. PG mentioned that its perfect time for athletes to speak there truth on this type of media platform. who better since its from the horses mouth. now SAS mentioned how the traverse is affecting his colleagues pockets.
SAS you created the tension with an athlete (Kyrie). You specifically chose to use a certain tone and verbiage to try to blur the lines of him not wanting to get a shot and attributed it to his manhood…like bruh revisionist history at its finest
Because Stephen A Smith enjoyed being a kiss azz and making another black man look bad, before he spoke with them and learned facts for himself. Yes, he’s a journalist but he uses his personal friendship to get closer to them…Keep your personal separate from your professional
Nahhhhh, call Stephen A about his BS. We all know that Stephen A ensures he’s controversial, “especially” when it comes to African American athletes 👀!!! That’s right….I said it…..and y’all know I’m right (as Stephen A would say). I respect this is the mantra he used to bag big deals as a journalist but at the tearing down of African American athletes is questionable. He stated in the interview he’s been wrong more than once without confirming rumors with direct access to African American athletes. He seems as though he strategically chooses to use his access when he wants to, so that he can make his shows exciting and controversial then give small redaction later. He should be just as passionate and loud about his mistakes as he is about the athletes. Additionally trash talk all the athletes of all ethnicities equally….Lord knows there are plenty of substandard performing athletes of different ethnicities to talk trash about because fans do it every day. I agree with Allen Iverson and Carmelo, we all respect and look up Stephen A as journalist who will the tell the story of African American athletes or athletes of color, as well as all athletes. I only watch ESPN now because of journalist like Stephen A and other people of color commenting on athletes of color. I like Stephen A lot, but he needs to chill in the attacks until he’s confirmed from the athletes the truth. Fortunately for Stephen A there aren’t that many journalists of color prominently available to tell our story and we “need” him!!! ✊🏽. After Stuart Scott passed, we need to keep all of our journalists of color, especially men!! ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽 🗣️ S/O to Stephen for coming in the show and being transparent about his relationships with the athletes and his mistakes made long the way, because we never get to see that side during the ESPN broadcasts, but then again we understand the business networks, which is ratings. Thanks again for the show and thanks for getting Stephen A on the show. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Paul George doesn't realize that he got used, so called dumb NBA players have outsmarted Steven A Smith because they have popular podcasts and can have anybody on, he can't
If your professional basketball 🏀 player you should be able to check a sports broadcaster one on one smh 🤦♂️ why Did Allen iverson had to get another city or state involved Smh 🤦♂️ Ai will get people in a Rico and have no money they books I thought 💭 he learned his lesson from the bowling 🎳 alley in high school 🏫 smh 🤦♂️
I rock with SAS, he has been the face of ESPN since 2014. And since then, he has been the blueprint to being a mainstream journalist by putting people on like Ryan Clark, Kendrick Perkins, Mad Dog Russo, and if I'm not mistaken, Jemele Hill. The reason folks don't like SAS is because he is the company guy... a black man as the face of a white corporation. Because he was always like this before he was a regular on 1st Take in the Skip Bayless era
You know good and well Stephen A is not that dude. You pulled up on Iverson??! Stephen ( A damn lie) Smith... smh... What "GORILLAS" do you know?? Weren't you one of those people always clownin brothas for keepin goons in their squad once they become rich/famous ?
Winners speak facts about the game. Paul just a regular player. He need the quality and voice because his career been over. Dray wins a chip while podcasting. You tripping.
He brought some goons to protect him? Is he a journalist or a corner snitch? His own boasting about how he thinks he's hard is hilarious!! He is just a coward behind a pen. Keep it real and go face to face with these awesome athletes you disparage. Be nice if he would stop hiding the fact he's a pampered school boy and only speaks like that for his audience. Trying to appear like he has some bad boy street credit. Drama queen!!
Bring Carmelo on bro it would be legendary
Facts 💯

Maybe Carmelo at his peak. Now he’s a washed up geizer, ain’t no one wanna see dat sheet!
100%
This mf is a slick talker and he's needs to be called out more
Most of these sports folks all have said things
Facts 💯
He was wrong about kyrie . Beef over covid . Covid dead now 😂

I been saying this
More like he only admits he's wrong when he gets called out.
Exactly. This dude is wrong every day he goes on ESPN. Just spew’s garbage for clicks and views…
THIS IS IT
@@Nupeguy16 HeHe! Hooooooo! Aooooow! This Is It!

we need a Carmelo interview 🔥💪
Nah playa, Stephen A be talking mad reckless. He made his career off talking crazy.
@matsalvatore9074and the Pat McAfee show is a wayyy better listen than first take. First take is the Stephen A Smith show
@matsalvatore9074 it’s easier to digest the Pat McAfee show especially when he brings on other guests.
As much as I love Stephen A he is literally the biggest Gloater I’ve ever seen 😂 he even managed to make Kobes Death about a Convo they had right before his death according to him 💀
😂😂😂... Absolutely..he's full of himself..he's a ham for the spotlight

Dude will take every opportunity to sell himself; he has always said he intends to go on tv as a talk show host so yeah.
True true
He's more arrogant than the top players in the league. It's gross to witness. He thinks way too highly of himself.

You don’t know Kyrie or SAS lol why would you even say something like that knowing you don’t know what’s going on with them 🤣🤣
This guy has such high charisma, if you let him talk long enough he will convince you your birth name is Terry
Thus funny asl
5:29 max proved him he was wrong so much he fired him 😂
cap. he said no team should give him a long term contract on first take. thats not wanting him to get paid
