Isn't how studies are done though ? just kidding Stephen A Smith is tripping balls when he takes all his prescription pills can't blame him these are the real drugs
I noticed that too. SAS was being totally dismissive and unprofessional feeling as the "Star" of the show he can shut down Max when Max makes a dagger point. SAS 1st the Beasley statements now this. Your character needs some calibration brother.
Im 17, ur the ignorant fuck language is used to communicate and if us illiterate millennials choose to adapt and change language to a more modern form that we can all understand then its completely fine. U r the ignorant fuk 4 not bein able 2 read this boi fuk off
Kareem Hijazi you got a point about language changing but I gotta side with the couchpoet because if you say fax you lame as fuck. That’s a machine our ancestors used foh
Will Nweke they’re both bad, you can get liver failure from alcohol and mental illness from weed. Weed has been found to increase dopamine activity in the brain which is one of the main causes of schizophrenia in some individuals
Steve Gerrard But can it kill you tho? Is it worse than oxy and Percocet they give athletes to relieve pain from injuries? It's not about recreational use. David Stern was talking about using weed as a medical tool which would be much healthier than what athletes are taking today.
Steve Gerrard thats the best yall can come up with. lol look at the statistics. fucking Peanuts are more harming to the human body. mental illness is a personal problem for rookie smokers who cant handle it lol
Jack L thats not what he's arguing, Max's arguement is the fact that, in many studies and cases, it has been proven that alcohol is worse than marajuana, however in a league that damn near endorses alcohol, in partnership with alcohol companies this same league is trying to outlaw a product that can damn nesr save lives, and say that they're doibg the right thing? Thats hipocritical and thats only part of his arguement
Jack L the point is that they endorse a cancerous drug like alcohol but the ban weed. It makes no sense and it really is just a part of the racist history as to why weed was banned in the first place
LOL. Come on Stephen A. The same reason why players cant come to games drunk is the same why they wont be able to come high. Its so easy to police this in the NBA. Let them do it for rehab, etc. But when its game day, they can't use. It's literally as simple as that.
Forte IV exactly. His excuse was if we let them do it recreational what's gonna stop them from coming to the game high. Uhh, how often you see a player come drunk? Shit honestly going high and running around a shit ton gonna sober you up REAL QUICK. You go drunk running around just gon make you throw up lol. No one's going to be stupid enough to go high to a game, and I mean if they do, put some eye drops in and literally no one gonna notice.
THAT GUY being drunk and being high are completely different players would 100% show up to games high if there isn’t some sort of policing system like on game day
PatsDynasty Not top players, they know better than that. But honestly you probably wouldn't even notice like I said, and a lot of people do many things better high anyways, although I'm not really trying to promote that. And you shouldn't just assume they'd show up high. I mean their job is on the line.
Forte IV i have had teammates in highschool that would smoke insanely often, but never before games and they never showed up to practice high or anything.. but all of them were extremely out of breath when we did drills and conditioning... these guys were at the same level of fitness as the rest of us.. smoking anything can kill your stamina
Slush Pup That's honestly just because they weren't in best shape. Anyone who smokes daily and plays a sport will tell you they don't really notice it that much. Michael Phelps smokes weed if that tells you anything. And I don't athletes in major sports honestly even have the time to smoke everyday tbh.
Stephen A is acting like half the league is gonna show up high or something, if some dude get caught doing something like that i guarantee you it would be some scrub player no one would even give a damn meanwhile smith is acting like lebron and westbrook gonna show up stoned or something
Who even gives af if they do? That's on them if it affects their performance. If it doesn't stop them from playing a good game then what's the point of getting mad about it. I guarantee no professional(except a few bums) will jeopardize his team or career by showing up high if it affects their performance.
Isaiah Thomas, melo, kd, among DOZENS of other stars are all scrubs right? Y'all gotta quit kidding yourself on what weeds ACTUAL effect is. Anybody who truly smoked and educates themselves knows it complements strenuous physical activity, and given the right strain, will ALSO bring a calm focus.
Lmao Stephan got real aggressive when he mentioned alcohol also I like how he said he doesn’t want anybody being high or smoking in the arena but yet he’s fine with players popping bottles after a big win 😂🤡
Just Awesomee No, you not understanding what Stephen is saying....if legal then there's no days or hours set that one can only use weed, that means they can smoke it at 6pm and play a game at 8pm bcuz there's no rules or law...
Douglas Jones dude you’re a fucking idiot. Are you serious? Just like the players can use alcohol at at “any time” and not get punished? They still can you fucking idiot. Show up to a game drunk and you’re getting punished. This is the problem with America. Fucking Morons need to get an education. Stop shunning school and learn how to write before you hop on here and spew garbage kid.
Douglas Jones So what's your point? Weed actually enhances your skills on the court, and players would be more comfortable on the floor especially newbies
Stop finding excuses to indulge in degenerate behaviour. Weed may not be lethal, but continuous use over a long period of time decreases your cognitive function, in other words it makes you dumber
Roberto Barra show me the science that backs your claims or be quiet. Because I’m at the ready with extensive scientific literature that shows the positive benefits of marijuana in comparison to the very few negative effects of marijuana. So try citing your evidence.
TenThumbs Productions It's a drug of abuse and anything the NBA can do to keep their players off drugs is good for the NBA. I can imagine cocaine becoming all the rage again and suddenly people like Kellerman will be lobbying to let athletes "use responsibly" lmao. Are we really just gonna hold people who are famous athletes to the same standards of regular folk? Fuck that shit they should feel some responsibility to the kids who look up to them.
quiggly johnston young children shouldn’t have sex but I don’t expect profesional athletes to be abstinent. I can make the same analogy for red wine, is Lebron a bad example for children because he drinks red wine in senoma? A man or women can responsibly, key word being responsibly, consume marijuana in their private life. The world is moving that way, science supports it too, so whether it makes you mad or not, it’s going that way.
That's how you know Stephen A full of shit. He mocking Max for coming with studies aka facts lmao. Stephen's holier than thou attitude towards recreational marijuana use is fucked up
quiggly johnston I never said marijuana wasn't a drug I said that it doesn't compare to heroin; it's a drug but it's a one that's way better for you. The majority of people who smoke weed don't become addicted because weed does not contain any addictive substances; I doubt that you have done either cuz you don't know what the fuck either are or what they do to you. Plus some people play better high. Sit your white ass down and stay out of things you don't understand
Jake Pughh depends on your taste. Unless you’re an alcoholic alcohol smell doesn’t radiate from your body where you can walk into the stench of weed if just one person smoked one blunt
FlyGuy GbG I can most definitely smell when people have been drinking heavy that night. But if a bad smell is all you have to complain about i mean that's not that bad. I'd rather have someone high playing ball than someone who's piss drunk. Lol and only people that don't smoke think it smells bad anyway.
Jose Baldizon yet alcohol kills more than any other drug. They’re are no known deaths of marijuana based on studies and reports but you see people getting killed off of drunk driving and overdose. If they won’t legalize marijuana then they shouldn’t legalize alcohol.
Obviously. We saw it at the end of the prohibition, athletic preformance dropped by a few hundred percent, boxers fell asleep during rounds, professional athletes do everything they can to do better, be it gettng up at 5am to go jog in the freezing winter or litterally spend their entire days training for a sport But they can't resist drugs, so we have to ban everything And as i scientist i can demonstrate that though i don't understand why people ask for "arguments" all the time. You want one? North korea. They grow and smoke weed (only serious part here they do actually, one lf the few tolerated pleasure). How many times has a north korean athlete won the Olympics? Zero. There you have it. Another example. Country with the most Olympic medals, US, federally criminalizes weed. California, largest state in terms of population and economy, larger then canada, but all potheads. How many medals has california won? I think i have proven my point
Stephen A..I have always shown you support. This behavior is becoming so obnoxious it's difficult to enjoy a great show! He won't stop talking no matter how many times he repeats himself, you can't debate him without him interrupting and he's often unable to be objective. Rain it in!
Stephen A should really consider smoking the weeeeed that he seems to hate so much. It'd help keep him from spazzing out all the time, might help see things more logically as well. A win win for First Take, and Stephen A!
SAS worried that players would show up high? Like being high helps with hand-eye coordination, fast twitch muscles, and sprinting. These are world-class athletes. Not the scrub who plays pick up games at the YMCA.
Simon just because you did something doesn't mean that professionals making millions would do it. Do you come to work high? If so you should be fired, just like any player would get fired, just like Stephen A. should be fired.
Sean Manning You got me wrong, players will probably show up high if they can. This isn’t a bad thing. For the right person like myself, pot reduces a lot of pressure and you end up playing a lot better. I just hate pot being compared to alcohol.
Stephen A Smith: "I dont know enough about it...." If you are uneducated on the subject no one needs to hear your opinion. If you've never driven a car, you don't get to tell people how to drive a car
Fucking facts. And btw. It ain’t fucking hard to get educated on it. There’s this tool called google. He can google “how many people have died because of marijuana” then google “how many people die of caffeine; prescription drugs, alcohol, tobacco, etc”. Or better yet google how many people are struck by lightning
Like when max was talking about the studies of weed vs booze he said "oh study study study" like duhh dumbass nigga wtf how you supposed to get educated on a subject if you dont study it?
Oscar Meza Your arguments are weak and lack substance just like Stephen A's pathetic dialogue here. You assumed wrong, and anyone that thinks rationally can easily realize that what Max was saying in this argument is 100% correct.
Stephen A Smith's point of view on marijuana is out of touch & his opinions are brainwashed from the government. Alcohol is legal, but people don't show up the games drunk. Same logic should be applied with marijuana. And even in some cases players have said they've played very high, b/c of how relaxed they are. If you have a high tolerance it won't affect you period.
the government wants to ruin peoples life that why they legalizing cz they know the consequences you guys are brain washed thinking that smoke is good for you ok. keep tricking yourselves.
For Stephen A to disagree that marijuana is a government prohibition shows he has knowledge on the subject. It's not even the bud or the thc it's the hemp. Hemp would put an end to most usage of fossil fuels and deforestation while the plant would end most pharmaceuticals. All government
doctorweston05 Solar energy would be better. You'd still need pharmaceuticals for stuff like antibiotics and certain medicine that weed don't help with.
Hemp wouldn't solve all our issues, that's an illusion and an argument brought up by weed activists. Hemp is regulated in 33 states, it's more logical that it was made illegal because of it's relation to cannabis.
@@ohFitZz Logical? PLEASE explain... I've been in this game for a minute. 51yrs worth. Smoked since the late 70s, before it was popularized in music. From Colorado. Hemp is INDUSTRIAL...THC is get'n high...CBD is relief. How is the illegality of HEMP logical to you, simply because it is the MALE marijuana plant that will do NOTHING but give you a headache if you smoke it. Honest query...
@@mistermilehi991 You make no sense neither since I didn't seem to forget what I was going to continue to say but, oh it was something like sure hemp should be legal but it isn't going to solve our world problem
Stephen A Smith always yells and disrespect everybody he debates with. Always coming off as the angry black man. To go first and then sit there shaking his head and trying to talk over Max so he can't make his points.
It's better for athletes when it comes to recovering from games, injuries and rehabilitating injuries. Compare to all the medication and drugs the trainer in all the professional sports sorry Sports period introduce us to and give us on a regular basis.
No I think you're are little sensitive. No disrespect. Stephan A. is not angry he is just loud and dramatic.He's been that way for a while. But, yes when he interrupts people it's really an annoying debate tactic.
SAS needs to shut up for once and listen to Max. I bet he's never smoked before in his life and that's why he has all these misconceptions about marijuana use. I mean most people wouldn't show up drunk to work so why would show up high? Especially to a basketball game that these guys get paid millions of doallrs to play.
Max needs to leave. They obviously tried to silence him. Really a break before he could finish his thought after he was told to finish his thought. Stay strong Max Kellerman.
The players should be able to use it.......but just like anyone else's job, you show up to work high? You're fired. It's unprofessional and unacceptable to try to play high. But That's a personal issue. Not something to ban for everyone
Max destroyed SAS in this debate. I've never smoked weed even once, but I support the players right to do it, IF IT'S LEGAL. That goes for ALL PROFESSIONAL SPORTS. There isn't an American pro sports league that bans players from drinking alcohol, and alcohol is legal. Why should they ban weed?
Kyleb the man does Trump all of a sudden support weed? You are all up on the comments saying how bad weed is when it is WELL documented that alcohol is worse.
Stephen A “I’ve known since he was a kid...I’ve been court side seeing high players...I know him really well”; then he talks about how Max’s studies are unreliable?? Man please🤦♂️😂😂😂😂
Steven • SaS was under the influence of somethin : Monster Red Bull caffeine coke uppers speed anfedamines ... he a little too anxious and NO SELF CONTROL!
What a hypocritical world we live in... What about recreational use of alcohol, tobacco, fast food and all of that crap that isn't from nature? Also doesn't pills make people into sociopaths as well?
you are right a lot of people don't think of Alcohol, tobacco, fast food and artificial sugars as drugs and if you know what drugs are well than basically all things that effect our chemistry in our brain to make us happy such as ice cream, chocolate and coffee they are all technically drugs so when people think drugs are bad its such a stupid thing to say :) there are bad drugs yes of course but there are a lot of good ones :)
SAS is always annoying, but even more so when talking about weed and social issues. Seems like Max is always right and SAS is just blowing wind. Sometimes it seems like an act he's putting on. Who the hell would say "studies studies studies" as if science doesn't matter.
IceCreamMan 79 lol no, there's laws in place to make sure people do things for their own good since people are stupid. Let's not lie to ourselves here, if you had to babysit a room full of children would you just sit on your phone and not care about kids eating crayons or cutting their friends hair off? No, you'd make rules and that's how the government is. They don't own us, but they're like our babysitters in that they have to reward the kids that are good and punish the ones that are bad and make sure they're doing anything that could harm them.
Tha Chief my dude, you really want to compare Tobacco and weed? On top of that there are chemicals added to tobacco based products, weed can be smoked straight off the plant bruh. Gtfoh
Like cmon time and place for everything. You don't show up to work high just like you wouldn't drunk. Max better careful dropping that knowledge at the end or espn suspend him like Jemele Hill.
stfuuuuu if stephen a was replaced you wouldn't even watch espn, talking this shit go watch the jump fam, im sure paul pierce will break down expert analysis for u
DA REAL Johnny Appleseed You're missing the point. David Stern is talking medical use as it is a much healthier pain reliever than the oxy and Percocet they give athletes today. Plus, players have been showing up high to games since the 80's. Educating players and team doctors on weed could be a huge advancement in the medical department in the league.
Lol I love the Diaz Brothers but they dont deserve to be in that same sentence. Usain Bolt is probably the most well known sprinter/Olympian of our time, Michael Phelps can have the same said if him and swimming/Olympics. Randy Moss is a legend. Roy Jr was known as the best p4p fighter of his time, for a while. The Diaz brothers are dope, but nah.
SA You are wrong about this subject and clearly uninformed. I love you bro. Go do yor homework. Removing marijuana from banned substances list has more pros than cons, from player autonomy and empowerment to removing and reducing negative social stigma and criminalization of African American males. As far as player performance and "the product" on the court: any professional athlete worth their salt would never engage in marijuana use directly in front of high stakes competition. That would be career suicide.
jothicker He doesn't want to do the homework, hell, Max is giving him all of the answers. He wants him and his stance to be right. He seems more than fine sticking his fingers in his ears going "La la la la la, can't hear you." It's so weird how strongly he is against it, with his recurring anecdote being the "Huh" situation. I feel like there's more to his stance than that.
Yeah. It appears personal with Smith. I didn't realize he was so conservative until recently. More power to him but he clearly doesn't have all the facts. One thing I can say about SA is he has, over his career, shown a willingness to change or modify his viewpoint when presented with information.
Stephen A. Smith a fool, look at alcohol which is legal over 21, do you see players shown up drink to play ball? Its obviously will be players responsibility who are making millions and would like to continue to do so, to not ingest any substances that are legal which can affect their performance.

We all know Stephen is talking about J.R Smith lol.
And Zach Randolph
I think his specific reference was to a member of the Iverson's 76ers, but it wasn't Iverson.
Gawd damn you know it's JR
And B-Eazy 😂
JR and Shump be sitting back on the blunt watching this and tryna figure out wtf "abhorent" means 😂
I like how Stephen A. discredits peer reviewed studies but relies on his "court side experience" to conclude Marijuana is abhorrent and dangerous.
Isn't how studies are done though ? just kidding Stephen A Smith is tripping balls when he takes all his prescription pills can't blame him these are the real drugs
Talk
The players he saw were probably on pain pills!
lol this guy was mad at Max bringing up studies

Stephen A is right on the money. Just because the state legalizes weed does not mean that you can do weed before you go to your job.

Jack L not in this instance. His argument is based off of facts and logic and steven a just dismisses it because he hates weed.
Jack L thats not what he's arguing, Max's arguement is the fact that, in many studies and cases, it has been proven that alcohol is worse than marajuana, however in a league that damn near endorses alcohol, in partnership with alcohol companies this same league is trying to outlaw a product that can damn nesr save lives, and say that they're doibg the right thing?

The majority of people who smoke weed don't become addicted because weed does not contain any addictive substances; I doubt that you have done either cuz you don't know what the fuck either are or what they do to you. Plus some people play better high. Sit your white ass down and stay out of things you don't understand
King Vlastimir Ignorant ass nigga... Sit your buck dancin' black ass down and stop being such a lil racist dirtbag.
Max said “hol up”
Lmfao get em max weed is straight. Fuck alcohol.
LMAO
Seriously, fuck drinking
Jake Pughh depends on your taste. Unless you’re an alcoholic alcohol smell doesn’t radiate from your body where you can walk into the stench of weed if just one person smoked one blunt
FlyGuy GbG I can most definitely smell when people have been drinking heavy that night. But if a bad smell is all you have to complain about i mean that's not that bad. I'd rather have someone high playing ball than someone who's piss drunk. Lol and only people that don't smoke think it smells bad anyway.
THAT GUY I agree you can smell alcohol but 1 blunt can stank up a room... I mean there’s more I don’t like, but the stench is by far the top for me
Max seems to always win theses debates.
Logic and science > emotions and anecdotes
Julius Monroe false
They had to cut Max off before he strated dripping jems
daniel sprinkle tbhhhhh
daniel sprinkle lol they gave him that Chris Broussard treatment
daniel sprinkle Started Dropping Gems**........
Max again gets the W on a marijuana debate
fucking shine
Yooo Why I thought of JR when Stephen spoke about showing up to games high 😂
No he didn't. Marijuana is an addictive drug and makes you lazy. Love Max, but he's wrong.
Jose Baldizon yet alcohol kills more than any other drug. They’re are no known deaths of marijuana based on studies and reports but you see people getting killed off of drunk driving and overdose. If they won’t legalize marijuana then they shouldn’t legalize alcohol.
Jose Baldizon it can be psychologically addictive but it really depends on the person...
OJ Mayo's on the edge of his seat
John Boyce and his buddy Larry sanders. Lmao
OJ was on all kinds of shit 😭😭
He on that powda
John Boyce oj didn't get banned cause of weed was that white.
Kellerman is completely right
Muse Russell23 they do it everyday cause they like the way it makes them feel...
coreydaprince what?
special.
Ok so by Stephen A’s logic, since alcohol is allowed, players will appear drunk to the games??
Obviously. We saw it at the end of the prohibition, athletic preformance dropped by a few hundred percent, boxers fell asleep during rounds, professional athletes do everything they can to do better, be it gettng up at 5am to go jog in the freezing winter or litterally spend their entire days training for a sport
But they can't resist drugs, so we have to ban everything
And as i scientist i can demonstrate that though i don't understand why people ask for "arguments" all the time.
You want one?
North korea. They grow and smoke weed (only serious part here they do actually, one lf the few tolerated pleasure).
How many times has a north korean athlete won the Olympics? Zero. There you have it.
Another example. Country with the most Olympic medals, US, federally criminalizes weed.
California, largest state in terms of population and economy, larger then canada, but all potheads. How many medals has california won?
I think i have proven my point
Stephen A..I have always shown you support. This behavior is becoming so obnoxious it's difficult to enjoy a great show! He won't stop talking no matter how many times he repeats himself, you can't debate him without him interrupting and he's often unable to be objective. Rain it in!
Stephen A should really consider smoking the weeeeed that he seems to hate so much. It'd help keep him from spazzing out all the time, might help see things more logically as well. A win win for First Take, and Stephen A!
reign*
5 years later and he still does this when he has no argument, just keeps talking over people and acting like they’re crazy
Max is right. Can’t seriously dispute what he said.
max took the W

dariusshah smith disappointing
dariusshah smith yea me too drinking is pathetic, but smoking is lit
How about neither?
dariusshah smith
Do us all a favor and don’t have any kids with that mentality
Max won this hands down. Shut up SAS
How did Max win?
SAS worried that players would show up high? Like being high helps with hand-eye coordination, fast twitch muscles, and sprinting. These are world-class athletes. Not the scrub who plays pick up games at the YMCA.
how
Alcohol is legal people still no not to come into work drunk
antoine mitchell Alcohol and weed are two different animals. When I used to smoke id always get high and ball.
Simon just because you did something doesn't mean that professionals making millions would do it. Do you come to work high? If so you should be fired, just like any player would get fired, just like Stephen A. should be fired.
Sean Manning You got me wrong, players will probably show up high if they can. This isn’t a bad thing. For the right person like myself, pot reduces a lot of pressure and you end up playing a lot better. I just hate pot being compared to alcohol.
i do all the time
Simon Rachou be honest. Do you have a smoking problem? These players miss out on millions because they are addicted and can't stop.thats the problem
Stephen A Smith: "I dont know enough about it...." If you are uneducated on the subject no one needs to hear your opinion. If you've never driven a car, you don't get to tell people how to drive a car
Facts.
Fucking facts. And btw. It ain’t fucking hard to get educated on it. There’s this tool called google. He can google “how many people have died because of marijuana” then google “how many people die of caffeine; prescription drugs, alcohol, tobacco, etc”. Or better yet google how many people are struck by lightning
Stephen holds the L on this one
na he holds the W for sure.
Stephen L Smith
Cam Dowle i love playing high i do way better when i’m high
major Ls
Cam Dowle Some play better high. But they should definitely be able to smoke at home if they want. Cause, why the fuck not?
I love Stephen a. But Christ he's way too old to speak about this topic, hard facts wouldn't change this guys mind.
TheDonutlover3000 he literally said he was uneducated, and wouldn't let max finish speaking on hard scientific physical faxfs
Like when max was talking about the studies of weed vs booze he said "oh study study study" like duhh dumbass nigga wtf how you supposed to get educated on a subject if you dont study it?
is there an age limit to talk about marijuana?
*MAX IS ABSOLUTELY CORRECT!!!!!!!!!!*
I’m assuming you smoke often right or usually want to be high ?
Let’s be real people who support weed are the ones that smoke it and that’s not the same thing you can easily tell if someone is drunk
Oscar Meza Your arguments are weak and lack substance just like Stephen A's pathetic dialogue here. You assumed wrong, and anyone that thinks rationally can easily realize that what Max was saying in this argument is 100% correct.
Oscar Meza wtf?? this is the stupidest shit I’ve ever read in my lifetime
Oscar Meza that diddnt go the way you planned it did you .
Watching basketball baked is amazing
Nick Saucedo yeoooo big facts
Nick Saucedo watching anything baked is amazing my friend
Have you ever played basketball high?
baller I play better off sativa. You don’t think about anything you just play
Watching basketball on weed is good????
Be responsible and consume it off work... that's it!!
Agreed and thats a giving IN any job you're employed in for that matter. Well said J P
what you said is 100% correct - but the yelling and drama is far more entertaining don't you think?
J P exactly you don't drink during work so don't smoke it or be high during work
J P stay off the weed
J P JP
Stephen A Smith's point of view on marijuana is out of touch & his opinions are brainwashed from the government. Alcohol is legal, but people don't show up the games drunk. Same logic should be applied with marijuana. And even in some cases players have said they've played very high, b/c of how relaxed they are. If you have a high tolerance it won't affect you period.
cArDiNaTiOn420 or he is just smart! Not stupid like you and rest of the people that smoke pot
cArDiNaTiOn420 my jumper wet at hell catch me at LSSU university playing pick up high as hell
There's no such thing as a tolerance to drugs, dumb ass. Would you drink and drive, because you claim to have tolerance? Lol
FDP69 Caffeine is a drug, should the NBA ban coffee?
the government wants to ruin peoples life that why they legalizing cz they know the consequences
you guys are brain washed thinking that smoke is good for you ok. keep tricking yourselves.
Im smokin a blunt watching sa talk shit 😂😂😂
Same outside bruh!

Congrats cornball.
Word I’m smoking right now and I ain’t rocking back and forth this man is just bias
Who laced Stephen A’s blunt 😂🤦🏽♂️
You didn't know M.A.D City is an autobiography about Stephen A's childhood?
Max owned SAS easily with straight #FACTS 💯
Max is the man✊
"Show up to your place of work HAAAAA.."
For Stephen A to disagree that marijuana is a government prohibition shows he has knowledge on the subject. It's not even the bud or the thc it's the hemp. Hemp would put an end to most usage of fossil fuels and deforestation while the plant would end most pharmaceuticals. All government
wouldn't put an end. We still need certain fuels and pharms. It might put an end to a minor amount of fuels and meds
doctorweston05 Solar energy would be better. You'd still need pharmaceuticals for stuff like antibiotics and certain medicine that weed don't help with.
Hemp wouldn't solve all our issues, that's an illusion and an argument brought up by weed activists. Hemp is regulated in 33 states, it's more logical that it was made illegal because of it's relation to cannabis.
@@ohFitZz Logical? PLEASE explain...
I've been in this game for a minute. 51yrs worth. Smoked since the late 70s, before it was popularized in music. From Colorado. Hemp is INDUSTRIAL...THC is get'n high...CBD is relief.
How is the illegality of HEMP logical to you, simply because it is the MALE marijuana plant that will do NOTHING but give you a headache if you smoke it. Honest query...
@@mistermilehi991 You make no sense neither since I didn't seem to forget what I was going to continue to say but, oh it was something like sure hemp should be legal but it isn't going to solve our world problem
Max is that nigga
Stephen A Smith always yells and disrespect everybody he debates with. Always coming off as the angry black man. To go first and then sit there shaking his head and trying to talk over Max so he can't make his points.
It's better for athletes when it comes to recovering from games, injuries and rehabilitating injuries. Compare to all the medication and drugs the trainer in all the professional sports sorry Sports period introduce us to and give us on a regular basis.
No I think you're are little sensitive. No disrespect. Stephan A. is not angry he is just loud and dramatic.He's been that way for a while. But, yes when he interrupts people it's really an annoying debate tactic.
Beary LonZz so is Cain the angry racist white man?
Beary LonZz your right!!! I thought I was just high
Beary LonZz True.
SAS needs to shut up for once and listen to Max. I bet he's never smoked before in his life and that's why he has all these misconceptions about marijuana use. I mean most people wouldn't show up drunk to work so why would show up high? Especially to a basketball game that these guys get paid millions of doallrs to play.
Yo Momma Exactly he thinks weed is the devil, i think he needs to get high once to know its not that bad especially at low doses.
Stephen A needs some weed to relax.
Exactly!! Hes completely missing the point,
It's the same thing as drinking. They should be able to just don't smoke before the game.
Dennis Childers it's honestly way different than drinking , weed doesn't become dangerous , alcohol literally can be deadly
No, Drinking is significantly worse
Dennis Childers facts he like people can’t use it responsibly
Dennis Childers There have been many instances where players have said they play better when they smoke before the game tho
If they can drink alcohol and smoke cigarettes they can smoke weed.
Max needs to leave. They obviously tried to silence him. Really a break before he could finish his thought after he was told to finish his thought. Stay strong Max Kellerman.
Kidd West right. they are full of shit
Nobody tried to silence him do you know how talk shows work you have a scheduled time to break whether you’re still talking or not
Kidd West they didnt show him calling the nfl a old white man club when Snoop Dogg and Magic were there
Max blow that gas
The players should be able to use it.......but just like anyone else's job, you show up to work high? You're fired.
It's unprofessional and unacceptable to try to play high. But That's a personal issue. Not something to ban for everyone
Reese Jackson I go to work high and I’m fine , I go play basketball games high and still WIN , so....... Agee to disagree u dumb pop tart
I go to work high ash
Looking like Whitney 🥴
@@MichaelMikeMikey77 and I do to just not high enough to where I cant do my job. That's the only time it's a problem.
Calm down ya fruit cake
If you smoke weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeduh the effects will linger even after the high wears off!
Max smokes weed
Or at least he used to
Easy Money lmfao fr bro😂 he probably does
He did back in the day when he used to rap, he had bars too
Max be high on tv all the time.
being around emotional girl like stephen a will make you want too
In the words of the great american philosopher Nathaniel Canine a.k.a. Nate Dog "Smoke weed erveryday"

Underrated comment right here. lls
Oh and Max won this debate by the way
R A so far 43 people agree versus your 2 so put some Respect on it bitch
Murphy Jones yeah right! Do you support Donald Trump too?
Max destroyed SAS in this debate. I've never smoked weed even once, but I support the players right to do it, IF IT'S LEGAL. That goes for ALL PROFESSIONAL SPORTS. There isn't an American pro sports league that bans players from drinking alcohol, and alcohol is legal. Why should they ban weed?
Kyleb the man does Trump all of a sudden support weed? You are all up on the comments saying how bad weed is when it is WELL documented that alcohol is worse.
Wrecked SA
I hate that face Stephen does when someone disagrees with them
I love weed
I hate it
How could you not
the GOAT -IsHere• y??? How???
the GOAT -IsHere• this guys a little kid still. lol the soda and candy you consume is more dangerous to your physical health than Marijuana.

Who rolling or smoking while watching this ? I'm rolling 😴😴
Junior Lopez rolling as in molly or rolling as in rolling blunt
Stephen A “I’ve known since he was a kid...I’ve been court side seeing high players...I know him really well”; then he talks about how Max’s studies are unreliable?? Man please🤦♂️😂😂😂😂
Steven • SaS was under the influence of somethin : Monster Red Bull caffeine coke uppers speed anfedamines ... he a little too anxious and NO SELF CONTROL!
Steven A really shows his lack of knowledge when it comes to cannabis that he shouldn't even try to debate the topic!
He is on point
Get off the WEEEEEEDD-UH
What a hypocritical world we live in... What about recreational use of alcohol, tobacco, fast food and all of that crap that isn't from nature? Also doesn't pills make people into sociopaths as well?
RaiderSteelerfan you deserve top comment bruh
you are right a lot of people don't think of Alcohol, tobacco, fast food and artificial sugars as drugs and if you know what drugs are well than basically all things that effect our chemistry in our brain to make us happy such as ice cream, chocolate and coffee they are all technically drugs so when people think drugs are bad its such a stupid thing to say :) there are bad drugs yes of course but there are a lot of good ones :)
Ibrahima Diallo Much respect! I believe SAS is narrow-minded in what he has to say about marijuana.
John Tobin ESPN will never understand just like peasants will never understand.
SAS is always annoying, but even more so when talking about weed and social issues. Seems like Max is always right and SAS is just blowing wind. Sometimes it seems like an act he's putting on. Who the hell would say "studies studies studies" as if science doesn't matter.
He knew He couldn't dismiss the studies. So He had to pout at losing especially at that part of the debate.
When it comes to a social issue the more educated individual will usually win the debate and in this case that is Max
When max started speaking facts Stephen a realized how wrong he actually was😂 u saw it in his face. The rest was him trying to just out argue max 😂
I completely agree with #MaxKellerman
Weed is a plant, chill out.
Bulls Nation ok and? Tobacco is a plant too. They're both drugs
IceCreamMan 79 lol no, there's laws in place to make sure people do things for their own good since people are stupid. Let's not lie to ourselves here, if you had to babysit a room full of children would you just sit on your phone and not care about kids eating crayons or cutting their friends hair off? No, you'd make rules and that's how the government is. They don't own us, but they're like our babysitters in that they have to reward the kids that are good and punish the ones that are bad and make sure they're doing anything that could harm them.
Bad Bone a lot more harm has been documented due to alcohol in compared to weed and it's not even close
IceCreamMan 79 it being legal isn't the argument
Tha Chief my dude, you really want to compare Tobacco and weed? On top of that there are chemicals added to tobacco based products, weed can be smoked straight off the plant bruh. Gtfoh
Like cmon time and place for everything. You don't show up to work high just like you wouldn't drunk. Max better careful dropping that knowledge at the end or espn suspend him like Jemele Hill.
horrible comparison of Jemele's situation to Max in my opinion.You can't slander the President.
Never in my life have i seen someone rocking back and forth from Marijuana. Mustve been cocaine.
Someone get this man a joint real quick!
Lol
Stephen sounds like my grandma
I feel bad for u
Wow Stephen A. needs to be replaced, he's always wrong and can never admit it
opinion are not wrong thats why they debate.
Phon Xieng I'm sorry but some are. Max is right. An opinion is liking the color red more than blue, not dismissing facts as SAS is doing.
Eric Smith Stephen a. Smith 90% of the time right and today he's once again right
Gasa 101 please explain how.
stfuuuuu if stephen a was replaced you wouldn't even watch espn, talking this shit go watch the jump fam, im sure paul pierce will break down expert analysis for u
Stephen A. reminds me of my crazy uncle I never listen to.
bruh im high af watchin this lol
Lil Bibby he'll yeah
lolololol me too
me third
Lil Bibby kekekekeke
Why tf would u show up high to work? What kinda flawed logic Is that? You can consume alcohol and be responsible, same with weed
DA REAL Johnny Appleseed I show up high to work all the time
DA REAL Johnny Appleseed nigga im high as fuck right now at work
DA REAL Johnny Appleseed You're missing the point. David Stern is talking medical use as it is a much healthier pain reliever than the oxy and Percocet they give athletes today. Plus, players have been showing up high to games since the 80's. Educating players and team doctors on weed could be a huge advancement in the medical department in the league.
i actually get shit done while high, shits weird.
as always Max speaks facts and SAS speaks nonsense making chaos because he knws nothing outside nba
The best athletes use marijuana: Usain Bolt, Michael Phelps, Randy Moss, Roy Jones Jr., Nick and Nate Diaz...
Lol I love the Diaz Brothers but they dont deserve to be in that same sentence. Usain Bolt is probably the most well known sprinter/Olympian of our time, Michael Phelps can have the same said if him and swimming/Olympics. Randy Moss is a legend. Roy Jr was known as the best p4p fighter of his time, for a while. The Diaz brothers are dope, but nah.
Its crazy how bad Stephen A can talk about weed but has nothing to say bad about alcohol. Yet alcohol causes so much more death and harm to society
SA You are wrong about this subject and clearly uninformed. I love you bro. Go do yor homework. Removing marijuana from banned substances list has more pros than cons, from player autonomy and empowerment to removing and reducing negative social stigma and criminalization of African American males. As far as player performance and "the product" on the court: any professional athlete worth their salt would never engage in marijuana use directly in front of high stakes competition. That would be career suicide.
jothicker Damn... that was beautiful😢
jothicker He doesn't want to do the homework, hell, Max is giving him all of the answers. He wants him and his stance to be right. He seems more than fine sticking his fingers in his ears going "La la la la la, can't hear you." It's so weird how strongly he is against it, with his recurring anecdote being the "Huh" situation. I feel like there's more to his stance than that.
Yeah. It appears personal with Smith. I didn't realize he was so conservative until recently. More power to him but he clearly doesn't have all the facts. One thing I can say about SA is he has, over his career, shown a willingness to change or modify his viewpoint when presented with information.
Stephen A. Smith a fool, look at alcohol which is legal over 21, do you see players shown up drink to play ball? Its obviously will be players responsibility who are making millions and would like to continue to do so, to not ingest any substances that are legal which can affect their performance.
Peepsi DT Ron Artest used to drink at halftime at some games lmao.
Max kellerman going back to his rap days
JR SMITH will be back if they legalize it!
Sam M JR Smith is already high as fuck all the time look at his eyes for gods sake.
