Kobe said the same thing Kyrie said about Westbrook.
Right, Steven A let it go nigga 🤣
He sure did
Stop bringing Kobe into this bs, that man wasn’t even the best player for 3 of his championships 😂
@@ronaldjohnson5717No one in the world would be considered the best player next to Shaq during that run so what's your point lol
@@Isvvxseriously, there’s no shame in that lol
Bro what is this? Kyrie didn’t call him a champion he said he revolutionized the game and inspired others why point out negatives? Is Ai a champion? No but still left his mark
SAS like to target people he thinks he can smear in a sneeky b****a** N**** way.
Bro I think Steven is reaching bro I was waiting to hear something negative or wrong
AI actually did revolutionize basketball. Complete culture change and ball handling revolution. I don’t know what Russell Westbrook changed about the game
@@dwoodstwinthe fact that him averaging a triple double for 3 straight seasons the one thing oscar Robinson was known for was the one season he did. so much so that people have to put themselves in pretzels to devalue the stat lol
@@jawill24 do you know what revolutionize means? Somebody like Steph curry revolutionized the sport by changing the way the game has played. What did Westbrook change about basketball?
Russell Westbrook gave a lot to the game of basketball, his peers in the NBA appreciate him, also the idiots in the media always look for things to criticize him
Championships make Champions
Guys like Chris Paul, John Stockton, and Steve Nash get more media respect than Russ…. No championships
💯I been saying this
Pt guard, there is a defensive component to the word...guard!!!. He might have played great, but who did he stop defensively? Give me Walt Frazier and Gary Payton anyway of the week
@@hilliarddillepree7717 would you take Gary Payton over Curry? Also Russ averages more assists than both Walt and Payton.
Dude said no championships as if Russ a champ😂 How CP did better with a young OKC team Unlike Russ ?
@@gualacheesesteakthat team cp3 was on was so much better the Russ Okc lol their second best player was Steven Adam’s 😂 and Roberson mr 30% from the FT line 😂
What did victor oladipo , paul gerorge , carmelo, james harden and the rest of the names you mentioned besides KD do after teaming up with him ....NO TITLES .... You're a A.I guy out of all people you should understand what Kyrie was doing. Its called showing love and appreciation to a fellow player that's been harshly criticized and slandered in the public.
Couldnt have said it any better😮💨💯
@@deltonroberts9229 it’s crazy , it’s like people can’t show love until someone is dead
@@809Mornelle bro that's the sad pathetic world we live in now
I don’t get why this was necessary. Kyrie simply took a moment to recognize Westbrook and give the man his flowers now. So why turn it into a criticism? I swear Westbrook is more criticized than any other player who also has not won a championship
Same shit I was saying.
Bro the lead up made me think he trashed Russ 😂 why is this even a topic?
Facts
Facts. Always an excuse to hate on.
Because you people have made it ok to give criticism to people you can’t do what you see them do. If everybody stfu and watch the game this shit wouldn’t be said
Why is it so hard to say positive things about a person and leave it at that? Why do certain media members feel they have to slap somebody and then ask for a hug? 💯✊🏾🤦🏾♂️ Russ is a hopper. Enough said 💯
real 💯 was thinking the same thing. Media always wants to paint someone in a negative light
@@bo0gi3 facts my guy. That’s why you see all of these mainstream media personalities losing a lot of views and respect. People want to hear about greatness and get inspired, not negativity 💯✊🏾
Westbrook is amazing. It always takes a team to win. His teammates haven’t done much either. Harden hasn’t done much, neither has kd outside of golden state. You know basketball is a team a game and it’s a rare thing to win a championship. It takes a team and many variables clicking. Westbrook is amazing to watch . That should be enough
Lmao 🧱
Facts
U can’t really qualify with “outside of golden state” though, that was 2 finals MVPs, that is something. The chips might’ve been easier but finals mvp is still something
@@OscarUnrated within the parameters of this discussion I believe it does. An incredible player went to a proven team. He leaves and hasn’t won since. He’s still great but not winning. Harden is great but not winning. I hope the all reunite and put all together for a ring. Long shot
My favorite player, besides John Starks
Nobody can do what Russel westbrook has EVER DID for 3 straight seasons
You not lying.
And 4 out of 5
You heard of jokic right?
@@mrshillingford2730you’re tryna round off his stats . Rus was 10 on reb and assists. Joker definitely 10 , 7 assists guy. Yeah he can go for the triple double on some nights , Rus did it EVERY NIGHT
it's obvious you don't watch and or know the game ...several players can do that on bad teams🤣😂
Kryie big up Russ and I felt SAS u was criticizing his game you gave him his flowers but it’s always something wen it comes to Russ
Always something.
@@stephenasmithHow is it always something when everyone speaks well of him?
man it’s plenty of legends in the business who don’t have a ring. We call them legends for a reason
You gave him compliments then slight shots at him. Respect what he did in his career.
This!!!
A PG averaging a triple double for almost 3years is revolutionary
I thought it was something bad. Kyrie didn’t say anything wrong. He’s giving Westbrook his flowers
Absolutely. Which I acknowledged
@@stephenasmithyou’re a tool when it comes to kyrie
Kyrie is not the only player in the league who feels the same..this is head scratcher right here..not sure what point you're trying to make other than to slander this man's name..smh
@@stephenasmithSo why you feel the need to discredit what Kyrie said? Disney agenda?
@@twhoyoutrynabebuchanan5149because it’s Kyrie and SAS can’t say anything positive about him
Lol the hate for Kyrie is absolutely nuts
To be fair he’s earned it lol.
Who's hating on Kyrie in this video? Wtf are y'all talking about
No tf he has not earned it.
@kwamekimoko7064 lol you kyrie nut huggers are insane lol.
@@blackgirlmagic8586 he’s blown up 3 teams cuz of his selfishness bitch he’s earned it lol. He quit on Cleveland quit on Boston quit on Brooklyn and he will do the same in Dallas.
"You can't just leave what Kyrie Irving said and leave out the bad part of it" ...yes you can.
I said the same exact shit 😂
Bump a ring in this new dumb league…. Russ in my top 5 PGs ever! Magic Steph Isaiah Russ Nash … respect to Stockton J Kidd Big O Dame CP! Kd and Russ actually coulda got it done. They were up 3-1 too. Kd 💩 on it. He’s been the best gaurd over the majority of his career besides Steph- who many have at #1 all time. Russ✊🏽
Pretty bad take from SAS. He forgot to mention that KD didn't win either...except with a juggernaut Golden state. Harden, oladipo, George, Melo, none of them have titles either. Why is Russ the focus?
After KD left, which team was Westbrook on that was considered a title contender?
Houston rockets but that’s it
He lost to a rookie Donavan Mitchell 😭
@@ohitsstylez8959no way any team is winning a title with PJ Tucker as their starting center
Facts brotha was just about to say this. Not a good take
@@zo7692 I don’t see how Darrly morrey has a job involving basketball 💯analytic nerd👎
Just appreciate his greatness SAS
Playing with multiple all-stars, 0 rings.
@@manofaith75 that does sound like ya resume lol
@@donglockogaming6033what
He's a leftist, smith is supposed to teardown people that aren't the radical left.
@@donglockogaming6033😹😹
Hope russ gets a ring before he leaves
So do I. He so deserves it. I think Clippers is his best
Deserve its not a thing in competition.
You earn it or you dont
I think bringing up the fact he didn’t win titles doesn’t change or diminish what kyrie said about him
They love to hate on the dude
I’m a Russ fan but he didn’t revolutionize anything or change the game in anyway
@@javiandavis6559That’s cap. Nearly every single athletic guard entering the league today says Russ was their inspiration, and it’s no coincidence that after Westbrook’s triple double season more guards started getting triple doubles and crashing the boards like Luka. If an NBA player is telling you he revolutionized the game, who are you to say he’s wrong?
SAS just be talkin 😅😅😅
Now with this podcast SAS can just spew all the trash he wants unchecked. I swear his infatuation of hearing himself talk about nothing is unparalleled.
It's pretty ridiculous.
He’s gonna see the comments tho. Unlike when he had them people at ESPN just giving the comments of people agreeing with him
So someone saying something good about Westbrook leads you to start hating😢
Yeahh Stephen A took his first L take on his podcast. Kyrie didn’t bring up anything about rings
I brought it up! I didn’t say KYRIE did anything. I just let you know what his words about Westbrook had me thinking anout
@@stephenasmith first off thank you for responding. Watch every episode. But i hear you and i agree about everything you said in the video it’s facts but why not talk about what kyrie spoke on? You’ve said this take on westbrook before but we’ve never deep dived into the good he’s done.
You can not challenge his heart what so ever.
This conversation started out at a great place, and then SAS went abs fumbled it again smh
Id say D Rose as the most athletic PG but it’s fair to say Russ is the most athletic as well
Drose is the most explosive and Russ is the most athletic.
Derrick 🌹 was the most explosive PG ever...period
1a and 1b.. problem with D Rose 🌹 is that his peak was too short
@@dagobert1234321 absolutely agree!!!
Russ owns Rose
No it’s Westbrook by far
Nah I disagree. Russ is the most explosive PG the game has ever seen
If PG and Kawhi can FINALLY stay healthy this year (for the team’s sake and their own sake I hope they can) they are my favorite to come outta the west. Russ alone was causing serious issues for the suns, with PG and klaw they win that, and they’d beat the Mavs, the Lakers, the grizzlies, and whatever other team you’ll name. Only the nuggets have a chance to beat them with their great team chemistry and Jokic, but PG and Klaw are shutting down Murray and MPJ, and while Jokic is a beast all by himself, I’m not sure he can out score the clippers by himself
You're talking about the same clippers that were "championship favorites" all year and then blew a 3-1 lead to the nuggets in the bubble? Let's be real, russ doesn't put them anywhere over the edge to be able to compete for a title, and the clippers don't have the same depth they did back in the bubble or even the year after when they went to the conference finals. The Lakers for the most part kept their core, the warriors will always be a threat, the kings are coming back in a big way, and the nuggets still have a chance to repeat. And who's to say the Celtics or any east contender can't beat them if they even make it far enough? There's too many ifs for the clippers to make a real run at a title
Big facts 💯 Russ's defense was killing the Suns especially KD
I rather have Russell Westbrook on my team then Kyrie Irving
😂 what you smoking on??
Kyrie ruins locker rooms and teams are better without Kyrie despite the exception with Lebron in Cleveland
@@brandonmitchell6351he has never ruined a locker room. you’re getting false information from a non credible source. his teammates and former teammates have backed him up even after all the backlash. don’t let the hatred get in the way
Anything with the Young Big 3 Okc you cant blame on Russ because he nor James were never looked at as more than sidekicks for KD. After KD left, Russ was stuck with a young OKC team (young V.O. & young Sabonis). He then gets Paul George (who was AMAZING with Russ) and gets an old Melo who was serviceable but just wasnt ready to fill the role of coming off the bench like they needed which that plus a “Lucky shot” from Dame killed all hope that team had left causing them to get rid of everyone including Russ. Russ then played with Harden again (Fit just wasnt there), played with Beal and the Wiz (Do we even count that as anything fr?😂), Then the stupidest move which was joining a team with no shooting/spacing (Lakers) in a shooting era, making Russ the scapegoat for LA by calling out Russ and his lack of shooting specifically like they didnt know he couldnt shoot like that when they first traded for him🤦🏽♂️. Now hes on the Clips who are probably the best fit for him atm (only Star on that team who can stay healthy) and his best shot at a title🤦🏽♂️😭
I've never seen a dude dick ride a superstar so bad to where he isn't responsible for any of the failures that he was a part of. It's okay, he's not perfect, he's had bad games and made some awful choices on the court, everyone has, it's normal. To say he's not responsible for any of the failure he's been a part of is insane
Westbrook normalized triple doubles which was a hard thing to achieve at a time. So i that sense he did revolutionize the game. He just wasnt the only one doing it but he lead the way forsure. Its just werid cuz noone his size is doing it but plenty of players like luka giannas joker ben simmons(at a time) do it frequently.
Russ is one of my all time favorite players. Russ, KD, Harden were in the finals at 21 and 22 years old against the "team up"heat after beating the Spurs. Then Presti broke up the team. Who breaks up the core of a team that young that goes to the finals? Eventually that Spurs team would go on to beat the Heat. You leave the OKC big 3 in tact, Russ would have at least 2 titles. Winning a title isn't easy, takes some luck. Doesn't diminish him as an all-time great.
Stephen A bro the same way you told Jackie long his words can damage how you make your money when he said you never payed basketball so your comments doesn’t matter on the sport but yet you purposely go after Kyrie and I just don’t get it.
More Proof That Stephen A Smith Doesn’t Know Basketball… Paul George Was Right 😂
Acknowledge the smear campaign on Westbrook last year. All stems from him not really messing with the media earlier on in his career and now they tryna get him back!
Word
Lol I honestly believe Stephen A Smith is an industry plant
Derrick Rose is just as if not more explosive than Russ. Come on na SAS.
So because u have nothing to talk about u take a post from kyrie praising Westbrook and talk bad about him thats crazy
The media personnel get real sensitive when people talk bad about them but continue to do the same towards players.
This his own podcast he literally talks about anything lmao
How was that talking bad about him? Was he not speaking facts?
@@manofaith75 Only in your mind!! SMH
@@manofaith75nba players can’t even appreciate the greatness of their peers anymore🤦♂️
Man Russ definitely influenced a lot of these current NBA players. Half these dudes wear 0 because of him‼️‼️
He’s not a good decision maker with the basketball, especially in late game situations. That’s his downfall. If he had Jason Kidd IQ he would be top 3 all time player
Westbrook def one of the most athletic pg the game has ever seen but on eye test D rose had a higher peak.
Derrick Rose is the most athletic & most ferocious PG in NBA history. Russ is a close 2nd.
When you as talented as Kyrie you can say was on your mind and still get opportunity because he’s the key word TALENTED
In my Opinion the Most. ATHLETIC Point Guard in NBA History is Mr Steve Frances who is always Overlooked!!
Westbrook wasn't more athletic than D-Rose MVP D-Rose....... I hate Thibodeau for ruining his career
DRose was more athletic, Russ just did it longer due to injury. The most athletic people have freakish injuries that could take them out. Look at Bo Jackson.
I agree but Westbrook did it for longer wihout any serious career ending injuries, he’s very durable
Athletic is more than just jumping, no point guard attacked the paint like Russell Westbrook, his dunks were thunderous.
💯💯
Derrick Rose was the most athletic point guard in nba history. During his short prime
An underrated part of athletecism is longevity you gotta be kidding me
Rus cheated on defense - all his career. Just a thought :-)
Give the man his flowers. The fact that you end your praise for him with a BUT is messed up. Stop bringing brothers down.
Steven you are just a hater of Russell, you do your dirty work, then get off the show and go hide. New seasons and
Bro acting like the only measurement of success is a title. CP3 ain’t got no titles. Karl Malone, Joel Embiid, no titles. All hall of fame players. Even a guy such as KD would be ringless if he never joined the most stacked team of all time
While you’re playing……..yes! You’re really flowers arrive when your career is over. But I’m not giving it all up when you’re still playing and there’s still a title to capture. I’ve never been that way and I’m not about to be that way.
WTF is SAS talking about? Kyrie wasn't talking about Westbrooks playoff runs, teams, philanthropy or how many babies he kissed. He's giving Westbrook his flowers for revolutionizing the game as a player and Westbrook, at his size, athletic ability and skillset at the point guard position and again for his size at point guard definitely did.
Championship teams consist of great role players not just the stars
Just like everyone else in the west at the time they were stuck in the warriors dynasty. East, you're in the back burner to LeBron. Don't put that on him like everyone else didn't face that same fate. His first legit chance was with the Lakers, which wasn't entirely his fault because of how dysfunctional that whole organization was at that time because ad & bron being injured throughout the season. Rob Pelinka had to pull off a heist to get the team we seen last post season. Now he's with the clippers with arguably worst co stars injury prone wise. Naming the caliber of players he's played with does not tell the full story. And I could go on about that alone
You can't swing both ways with this argument on the Lakers. You can't say well the Lakers org was dysfunctional at that point with russ there then mention the trade moves that Rob pelinka (who was a part of this "dysfunctional organization") made and say they got their shit together. Which is it? Were they dysfunctional or not? Let's just call it like it is, russ didn't live up to expectations, the stars got hurt (which happens, that doesn't make an organization dysfunctional), rob pelinka made great moves and righted the ship to about as far as they could possibly take it. With the choices Rob made, he fixed the russ problem, and has a good core now.
@@anthonybello1447 yes I can , because that's what happened 😂. Its cause and effect. They were shitty and made changes. He wasn't a fit from the jump because he has to have the ball in his hands like Bron. People were saying as soon as the trade happen. If fans knew that, they knew that. Again. Beause the main peices were injured, they never had the chance to have chemistry. They couldnt have a consistent identity for a whole year. Russ being his first year at a new club, was left for the wolves because he was the only guy out there and a superstar. He even said he didnt lnow what was going on. Thats a coaching problem if your superstar, let alone starting pg doesn't know what he's doing. How he looked missing shots and having turnovers is what people focus on but had 18/7/7 while playing more games than Bron or AD. To put that season failure on him is a cop out
@@yoitmeree no it's the truth, not a cop out. Statlines mean nothing if they don't amount to wins, basketball is more than just statlines, he wasn't contributing to winning basketball. Funny how now you drop the dysfunctional part and now just say they were shitty. So you didn't have it both ways, you thought they were a badly built team, not a dysfunctional organization, because a real dysfunctional organization wouldn't have made those moves to begin with, and would've just stuck it out regardless of results. And if you're point guard doesn't know what he's doing, that's not a coaching problem, that's a superstar problem. He wanted to play on a championship team but couldn't put in the work to improve his game, and his coach is supposed to help him every step of the way? Yeah no that's not how that works, he had bad stretches of games, got benched, and then wanted to say he doesn't understand what the organization was doing when he was the one contributing to their losses even when the superstars were healthy.
@@anthonybello1447 You're just nitpicking to argue at this point. Stop making assumptions or adding on to what I said, I'm telling you clear as day what I'm saying. They were both shitty AND dysfunctional. Two things can be true and exist at the same time. Cause and effect man. You're having a hard time grasping that. Im not even going to entertain that you just said Russ of all people doesn't put in work. Is a coach suppose to help you every step of the way? YES! That's what coaching is 😂. They coach you to perform better. That's why there is a coaching staff. They all have different jobs for the players. The players doesn't come up with gameplans, the coaches do. It's their job they communicate that to where the team understands their role. If they don't, they're fired. You're not in the league as long as somebody like Russ if you have an inability to understand schemes. You know what happens when everybody is not on the same page? Dysfunction. Dysfunction usually follows up with shitty outcomes. Which is what happened. Making them a shitty team. Stats do matter because they're records of what the person did that season. If lebron went 30/8/6 to 15/4/3 the next year under the same conditions, you'd be worried. You expect AD to score 25ppg because that's what consistently showed you through his career stats. Players study each other on the scouting report using stats. Get outta here with that man lol. It takes a team to win or lose, not one person
Steven a is wrong before injuries d rose was more athletic a better finisher an more clutch then russle west brook russle west brook never carried a team him self to the conference finals
LOL! Revolutionised the game? Hell, no! Ball hogs are about as old as basketball.
SAS IMO you and Kyrie need to hug it out. Please. You're a good dude. Kyrie's a GOOD dude. Can you both "FIND IT IN YOUR HEARTS" to work it out? And maybe a threesome with Russell. It's just hard. As a rando RUclips LURKER...to see good people bickering over BS GARBAGE. SAS. Work THAT Scheisse OUT! ELEVATE each other. Love you ALL.
KYRIE and I are fine, bro. There’s no hate at all. He had an opinion and I expressed mine. Where is one syllable of hate in my take? Y’all gotta stop you’re bullshit. I just had an opinion about his take. Nothing more.
@@stephenasmith Apologies if I misunderstood. It just SEEMS there's animus between you two -- I'm relieved to be wrong. Peace.
SAS if CP3 does not win a Ring with the Warriors are you going to utilize the same take here for Westbrook in the same fashion?
D-Rose was the most Athletic PG also Steven now Ja is.
D rose is in that conversation cmon now no disrespect to my boy rust
Westbrook had to the best MVP season of all time! Whoever disagrees is just a hater
I don’t know who’s worse when it comes to Kyrie topics SAS or Nick Wright
Anyone talking ish about Russ should replace his Name with CP3 and see if they can say the same things with the same conviction. Great player with(out) an MVP who hasnt won a chip. Makes others better etc. Still didnt win.
Thank you💯
Russell Westbrook didn’t revolutionize anything. He was a really good player but chasing stats isn’t a revolution
Name ten pgs did what he did
@@THEREALMOEMONEYhow many rings does Russell Westbrook have
Ad has 1
Bron has 4
Ibaka has 1
Kd has 2
Russ single handedly drove his teammates away it's funny they won rings what's russ excuse

Facts
@@lllightskindude #1 Ibaka was not even a 1st,2nd,or 3rd when the raptors won. #2 Yes he played with Lebron and AD but Russ was the only one consistently healthy(And the the roster sucked). I can’t remember the exact number, but I think Lebron and AD only played between 20-30 games together that season.
U don’t have a ring either get off that man u know what u said look at the players he had but look at the teams that were loaded when he was playing with those guys ure talking about smh
😂😂 SAS building his brand.. Football can’t come soon enough for him
False. Derrick Rose Healthy was the most athletic and fearless

Titles are a TEAM achievement- does not reflect individual greatness.
🎯
Stephen A much love from NY but they killed him for the jab and then his point of view on certain things, but he is box office and he's recognizing real game #GamesKnowsGa.e
Derrick rose was a more explosive PG stop iiiiiit
Barkley was a walking triple double too Stephen A., Zero Rings too.
Stop acting like obtaining a NBA Championship is just a walk in the park
I hate he calls Westbrook “The Most Athletic Point Guard” DERRICK ROSE 🌹
Salute to you for making millions for saying whatever come to your mind 🔥🔥🔥 Best part about it is u give half facts & bias takes everyday
Lmao
bro you really got something against Kyrie and Russ 🤦🏾♂️ jus appreciate the greatness and let the players that ACTUALLY PLAY IN THE NBA talk
Stephen A is sneak dissin him. Man this dude is making up a controversy..Kyrie gave the man props, Stephen A is reachin'
Championships are team accomplishments Kyrie was talking about him individually
What is up with y’all naming “Reggie Jackson” when naming Westbrook’s great teammates(Skip and Stephen A). He played like 1 and a half season on okc and averaged 12 points😂. #2 Oladipo averaged less points than Andre Robertson in the playoffs😂. Robertson shot better fg% and 3pt%, while being the second leading scorer on the team. LET THAT SINK IN‼️
I'm taking Derrick Rose as my most athletic point guard of all time
Why nobody talks about how many great players LeBron played with . They created the the play in tournament for LeBron. Check the stats. LeBron been in the play in tournament or not make the playoffs at all . Every since coming to LA but nobody talks about that. Always have something negative to say bout Russ
Lebron was the 7th seed in 2021 & 2023 they wouldn't have needed a play in tournament stop using that narrative and second LeBron won with great talent what has Russ won ??
No wonder kd left okc because of russ hitting the backboard you can't win with russ no one can
He will never win a ring
Bron ain’t got nun to do with this 🤦🏾♂️
the only thing i don’t get is out of all those players nun of got a ring except durant and we know where he went. nobody else didn’t win before russ or after russ other then lebron but come on he was already winning
Jesus!!! Am I the only one who thought I was playing this video on 2x speed lol. Somebody chugged their morning coffee I see.
Westbrook revolutionized bricklaying.
Russell Qestbrook is an outstanding human being and Basketball player, however he must be held accountable for winning a championship. We will love him the way we love Barkley Ewing and Dominique Wilkins.
Go to sleep
This is why we need to stop letting people who don’t play in the nba talk shit like this. Idgaf if he never won a championship, he’s better than every jackass watching him
Durant played with the most talent ever and only won with Warriors 🤔 waaay overrated.Durant won MVP and four scoring titles with Russell 🤔 he turned Victor Olidepo into a 20 PPG player.Paul George had his best season ever playing with Russ, 2nd in scoring and Top 2/3 in MVP voting.Oh didn’t Bradley Beal average over 30 PPG with Westbrook and Westbrook got em into the playoffs 🤔 i use to hear Stephen A for years say Westbrook won 1 playoff series in 4 years 💯🙄 all day, He would preach it to anyone who would listen 🤦🏾♂️ So when i see Durant do even worse with more talent 🤔 it’s his shoe to Big 🤣😅💯 Stop it, if Westbrook would have did the same, than Stephen A would of said “He’s a 1 man show” like stop it.Was Durant the 3rd or 4th best player in the Denver series 🤔 U couldn’t put him in the same atmosphere as the Joker 😅🤣 Stop it 💯 but u say the most ridiculous things still, talking about when he’s healthy he’s the greatest player on the planet 🤣🤣🤣 news flash, he has never ever been the greatest NBA player ever.Stephen A always wanted sum 1 to take LeBron Down.Shot out to Harrison Barnes,Iggy and Wiggins.Durant always been a meaningless scorer 💯 that 2nd year with the nets was the 1st time he actually had to develop his game but it was waaay to late in his career most likely.Say meaningless scoring efficiency 🙄🤦🏾♂️ that’s all u cared about 💯 like let’s b for real, he has the least highlight reels & big shots in his career 🤔 Harden would put Durants top scoring days to sleep easily.My thing is where does any type of common sense come in 💯 Durant has played with the most Elite Talent by far 🤔 More than any other player by a leap and only won on the Warriors 🤔😏 The worst in NBA HISTORY by far.i remember when Kyrie left LeBron u were sooo happy that he left Lebron high and dry, but when he left Durant high and dry Stephen A ripped his career apart 🤔 but with LeBron u were sooo happy, parading it all day, but LeBron did thee exact same thing as he did the year before, with Kyrie 👂🏾made it to the finals and lost 🤔 Kyrie made no difference.Stephen A is always #1 to me, but he has hammered LeBron and Russ their whole careers even having the nerve to call Kyrie the greatest show on earth, when clearly Westbrook was and Durant the greatest player when LeBron clearly was 😅😏💯 Stephen A quick lesson Jordan beat the greatest players in the America 💯 very few Hakeem was on a Elite level oversea phenom but he played college basketball in America (Houston) 🤔 LeBron beat the best players in the World 💯 could u imagine a league without Tim Duncan, Ginobli and Tony Parker 🤔 Dirk,Embid,Luka,Greek Freak,Joker and a host of others 🤔🤔🤔 he would have had at least 15 finals appearances 💯 each generation gets better and obviously LeBron is waaay beyond anything we’ve seen
turn up the audio on your videos, they're low.
I know right haha
Get off his top SAS. This is getting corny. Unsubscribing too. I don't support sour haters. This is why people don't watch ESPN anymore. You all don't comment on basketball... You comment on "He said, she said" BS. Let me tell ya'll why SAS is sour... Because these players are taking his platform... And guess what? We want to hear what they have to say more than him because THEY PLAY THE GAME and he doesn't.
What a goofy take. Even Kobe said that about Westbrook.
🤣🤣🤣 Stephen takes likes this is why you shouldn’t be able to talk about basketball. But, I see that these type of narratives are what keep you relevant.
Talk about how Ky hasn’t been healthy in the playoffs since he won championship. He didn’t have a healthy post season in Boston nor did he have one in BK🤣
OKC would’ve had a chip if Pat Bev wouldn’t have hurt Russ. I know it was not intentional but, it happen.
My point is don’t tell the story without telling the whole story. But nobody would be interested in that so I get it but, how you moving giving guys a bad rep. You only moving like this for your own personal gain. But….this is the world we live in….I digress -Coach Mitchell

STEVE A 2 TIME MVP NEVER MADE IT AN NBA FINALS AND STEPHEN A SMITH NEVER CRITICIZED HIM FOT THIS. THIS IS BECAUSE STEVE NASH IS WHITE
This seems like a big ball of Westbrook hate. He said he revolutionized the game not had a bunch of championships. There have been allot of players who have impacted the game in majors ways that don’t have championships. . A.I, Chris Paul, Reggie miller, John Stockton and Patrick Ewing just to name a few
For how smart Stephen a is on basketball how about you tell the whole story. Westbrook and Durant almost won it all just ran into the lebron super team that needed to win. 2 other full seasons one of them was hurt. Paul George had an mvp season. Victor oladipo ? Really ? Carmelo Anthony ? Old Carmelo. Westbrook and harden lost to lebron and AD who won it that year. And the lakers weren’t assembled correctly. Anyone that truly knows and watches basketball knows the truth. Is Westbrook perfect? No. Does he deserve this shit ? No. Tell the full story. He’s a championship caliber player and I hope he gets a ring. Don’t forget him and Durant single hand-idly took out the spurs and should have took out the warriors (up 3-1) that year. Before durant decided to ruin the nba and his own career. The whole story on westbrooks a joke.
SAS you know better you’ve been a analyst for years.. You know there are top 50 players of all time that don’t have rings.. Barkley,Miller,Ewing,Malone…Are they less great He’ll No…Knock it off..

But bro what are you talking about?? AI revolutionized the game without winning a title, no? and you talk about russel's last years and how he couldn't shoot, you forgot A.I's years at the end? with melo and Memphis then going back to Philly? do you hold that against A.I or A.I still revolutionized the game? you covered Philli in your early days you should know better stephen a come on. lastly, averaging triple doubles with that killer kobe mentality, when have we seen that before? that is pretty revolutionary. Just a bad take smuh
This isn’t an indictment on Russ because of Kyrie’s comments. I’m missing the bad part. We all knew this already. The man averaged a triple double for consecutive seasons. That alone cemented it for Russ
