“Bust their living you know what.” He always sounds like a guy imitating a New Yorker.

mitchell shouldnt be added to starting lineup. he should be the back up center. I dont want KAT at 4. He’s way better at 5.

It’s almost 2025 and Stephen A. Smith still cannot pronounce Wembanyama correctly.

So Curry loses by 50 and drops 2 points and the media brushes it under the rug? The hypocrisy is crazy 😂😂😂

Karl-Anthony Towns’ 32-point, 20-rebound return to Minnesota was a powerful reminder of his dominance, proving he’s still a force to be reckoned with in the league

Since day 1, I’ve been saying KAT better than AD! Faster, better handles, consistent, more explosive, Much more reliable health wise, and a better shooter!

Smith has some kind of axe to grind against Wemby… maybe because some of the players he’s pushing aren’t showing out or showing up. You can’t just go dunk in the lane no matter how tall you are because there’s some big dudes in there always looking to undercut you. Oh and BTW, aren’t ratings down across the board? So you’ve got a guy people GENUINELY want to see play, including people who could care less about basketball, and here is yelling to downplay, telling them not to care. That sound like a recipe for ratings success? BTW, in this game, there were plenty of slick Wemby passes and blocked shots including the biggest block of all that didn’t count — when he forced Trae Young on the last shot of the game to basically airball a layup over the backboard. This schtick about to get real old — same way it did for Bayless and his endless LeBron bashing.

Stephen A; “the NBA has a 3 point problem.”… Also Stephen A: ” idgaf about dunks I wanna see 3’s and ball handling!”… These pundits get stupider by the day I swear.
