I’m surprised players don’t get more salty with espn, fox, etc. I’d take so much stuff personal if some dude who writes about my job tries to comment and makes tons of money off critiquing my job…like bruh the reason you’re employed is bc the actual athletes play. You just write/comment on it 😂😂

Most sports fans know Stephen A Smith is a complete POS. But yet, ESPN puts him out there with no parameters, and lets him trash athletes. I realize that Jay and Perk did not make the enormous salaries, of some of their teammates. So they have to put up with SAS, in order to make a good living. But it seems like they have distain for him.

JB did not lie tho, SAS is an entertainer not a reporter, and it has not been for a looooong time, if not never has been…, NOW, that being said, SAS ain’t wrong either with what he has said about optics and timing, let’s call a spade a spade… Perk throwing shade on the “white mamba” outta nowhere lol

Jaylen Brown is such a dummy. I wince whenever I hear people talk about how smart he is. Hes dumb as a brick, and he makes it worse because he acts like he’s so smart.

Jalen Brown is an embarrassment to Celtics fans, but more so to the people who promoted this kid as some kind of genius. He can barely speak in English, you have to correct his endless vocabulary fumbles as he speaks. He should spend the time he wastes blabbering learning how to not dribble off of his left foot, or how to drive to the basket without closing his eyes and ramming into people.
