This was the most calm, quiet, and humble barbecue I’ve ever attended.
😆 😂

@@josesegura5293sound like facts to me
For real for real 😂
Stephen A not being censored and controlled by ESPN is the greatest thing he’s ever done
The greatest thing is you not thinking he's controlled, much more impressive.
ESPN can’t do anything about what Stephen A. says on his podcast because he owns it outright and it’s his own
@@mariebeckett3751 They can fire him
@@skipg73then nobody will watch first take 😂. Do you know how people only watch because of him
@@Ajayi2003 People watched first take before he was on the show and they will watch when he's gone because ESPN is the #1 sports network, some people just leave it on that channel most of the day. The show used to be #1 until he became the focus of it now it has dropped significantly.
The steak was medium rare, wings were cooked to perfection and the potato salad at the end was amazing too. Thanks for the invite Stephan A smith. An absolute pleasure.
Nice.
A masterclass of putting someone in their place
This wasn’t a “fireback,” this was education.
Title should have been, Media Star Educates B-list Actor😅.
this was a massacre
@@lovealways2609how? He pretty much said 30 minutes of nothing. “Hey PG don’t talk about me cause you’ve been injured, but if you hadn’t gotten injured I think you’d have a chip and I’ve got love for you”. SAS sounded like he had his feelings hurt and ranted about stuff we all know already. If they’re injured no shit they’re not gonna win.
@@Nyualum21Nothing ? Esquire is that you ? 😭
@@youngcasperjett7584 what did he say here that we didn’t already know or was eye opening or truly informative? Literally nothing. A lot of what he said was also just irrelevant. Paul George making money while being injured doesn’t really correlate or change the fact that HE WAS INJURED. Whether he was being paid or not wouldnt change the level of his injury. If you’re gonna criticize a player for that we’ve got hundreds of players to call out every season.
I WASNT READYYY 🤣🤣 “That’s a combined 102M in salary & 18M in endorsements for a franchise THAT WENT TF HOME! In the first round” 😭😭😭😭🔥🔥
That str8 face as he said that #Fatality 🤯🤬😅☠️
What does this even mean? As opposed to what? Other teams that get bounced in the playoffs with less than 100mil in team salary? Moronic comments like these make zero sense. Why are NBA fans so dumb?
That's facts he keep it 💯 😂😂😂😂😂

His “did ya know?” Segment is legendary 👍🏿
This is an ELITE masterclass in how to educate someone without putting them down. Resume speaks for itself. Use it as a teachable moment, Jackie. Don’t you dare double down because your feelings say you should…it could have been MUCH worse…
SAS cooked Jackie Long in more ways than chickens ever did. First time seeing him on Podcast P, it do feel like he do a lil too much sometimes.
Tell it Stephen A!!!!
Bro really just cooked Paul George 😂😂 he’s well done Stephen A 😩
that went the fxck home in the first round!
Stop it. Injuries happen. Steven A spouting nonsense here. Teams will continue to pay for top talent because it is so rare. But no one can guarantee how healthy any player will be.
Everyone can guarantee PG and kawhi would be injured next season. I've got $100 on it, they both missing 25+ games each
But he's not though
he can't speak on shit he never had to go thru Stephanie A was never a athlete at a high level to be speaking on real basketball shit
Turned that situation into a teaching moment. True professional.
And its why Stephen A is goated
Definitely man y put down another black man without doing the research
@@lequenharper847accountability doesn’t mean putting one down
@@lequenharper847nobody put Stephen A down… PG gave the players side of Stephen A opinion. Jackie Long asked a valid question. Experiencing the problem you’re tryna address is totally different than sitting on the sidelines forming an opinion. It’s easy to do that. Playing the black card doesn’t invalidate the question Jackie Asked if we being honest. Stephen is the Goat at his Job… you can’t start the Argument then when you get a response attempt to get sympathy votes
One last thing though, “ I am a champion at what I do” that was the dagger 😂😂😂😂
Ouch!
Right in head 😂
Champion At “Sports Media” Hahah Wtf
As an actor, Jackie isn't even on the D-League 😂😂
This is how you humbly educate someone and rip their soul at the same time
I think your understand of what education means is seriously flawed.
@@michaelbrooks742 only if you learned nothing
SAS is a goat, but didn’t Kawhi tear his ACL and George had a gruesome injury in Olympics. I guess those injuries linger with age🤷🏽♂️. AD missed games too. Imagine if AD called him out. SAS would body him 💀.
Stephen is holding ESPN Together single-handedly. This show is proof he doesn't need them to succeed.

Just gave him his resume; respectfully 😂
“People are gonna be skeptical about guys having time off because y’all do it on a regular basis”
That part really stood out to me because if you listen to the players who actually play hurt they make sure to reference things like that during interviews. “Yeah even though I was hurt I wanted to be here for my team & all the fans who paid to see ME”
A lot of players don’t hold themselves accountable & that’s the problem….

I love how he said 'I got love for you,' that tone is like he's stabbing him in the heart as he said it.😂😂

It’s the truth about money.

"They describe you as a B-lister" 😂😂😂😂
😂 when he said that I knew he was gonna go in on him
And giving him b list is being very generous. Jackie isn't even relevant

He said George and kawhi combined for over $100 mill in salary for a team that went the F. Home in 1st round. I m cracking up over here!
ESPN generated 20 billion last year, pays Stephen A 8 million, with a 4 million producer purse.
😭😭💯
ESPN just gave Pat McAfee 120 million over 5 years... Meanwhile SAS works for peanuts 🤣🤣🤣
Tony Romo gets 25 million a year for doing roughly 17 broadcastings... Meanwhile SAS is on ESPN about 250 plus days a year

@@fostergainz5827 no.
@@fostergainz5827where’s the ring?
Stephen A, I swear man, I am so proud of you as a Black man. I'll be 55 also in September. You make us look good. It doesn't mean I agree with 100 percent of what you say, but you speak well, you carry yourself well and you on a daily basis let America know we are more than what they show you on the 6' oclock news of us going to Jail or murdering each other. I also love the fact that you have no problem accepting you aren't NBA material but you trucly are a champion at what you do. That speaks volumes. You are one of my favorite people to listen to along with Warren Buffet, Mark Cuban, Damon John and a whole host of other folks. You may not have played professional sports but somewhere brother, you learn to compete and that's all that matters. Most of these players had an advantage being 6'7 and can run and shoot, but what the hell advantages did you have to be able to go through what you did to achieve what you have at not an old age. No matter how much hell you catch, there are many of us out here rooting for you. I hope I run into you one day so I can just say Thank You for the way you carry yourself. Keep up the great work you do. This is one of your best takes I've ever seen.
What he said at the end almost brought me to tears. I never thought of it that way. So many columnist and journalist are out there working their asses off with hopes of one day making it on a network show, so it is fucked up to say Stephen A isn't qualified because that also says those guys should just quit. This man really is one of a kind and probably a role model for many in that business.
Man... I've never heard Stephen A gave some lecturing in this kind of manner.. Others may think he is bragging his resume and all his other stuff but that's legit... I may not agree on all his takes in the NBA but this one, against George Paul and this other guy, that's what defines Stephen A Smith in this business.. Man is truly a legend..
That's a great point. I feel that way too. This takes was spot on. I love Kawhi, and every time I turn on a Clippers game, he's on the bench. I can't find fault in Stephen A's breakdown of this situation. Especially when he started talking about how other sportscasters' legitimacy isn't questioned. He's spot on, no question. PG played himself this go round.
Amen and he does it with class.
George Paul 💀
From what was said by Paul George and Jackie Long they're right. He doesn't know what it takes to be an athelete that has injury and the time it takes to recover. When Steven A started talking about how much money kawhi and Paul makes kills his argument because it's not about money
@@steventhomas2184that’s why he said Kawhi should retire. Imagine running a business and paying someone who works one day a week and makes more than 90% of your workforce.
He said for a franchise that went the f home in the first Rd damn that's savage 😂😂😂😂
28:32 “Your wrong, I’m right, it’s cool, no biggie.” Lmao was my favorite part. Stephen A just cooked all of them.
You nailed it Stephen A!! It spoke to me because I’ve said the very same things that Paul George says!
I’m changing my mind and my views about you, you explain yourself probably the best that anyone has done. I appreciate the levels of hardships you’ve gone through to get to the top. So I’m not that old that I can’t still learn some things about life itself and to do a little research on someone before you criticize them. Thank you Sir for doing what you’re doing, helping others to be better in life!!

Charles Barkley hit the nail on the head too when he talks about "load management." Like you don't see those guys working 12 hour shifts in the steel mills and factories needing "load management" or complaining about working too hard. If those guys don't work then they don't get paid.

Respect for Stephen A for standing his ground
Paul George lost any respect I might have had for him, when he got on camera complaining about having to PLAY BASKETBALL at DISNEY WORLD. He actually complained about getting paid millions, to play a game, at a resort that was locked down, but opened to just them! Complaining about being away from family, etc, etc. I knew someone would complain behind the scenes, and that's cool. But don't have the nerve to complain ON CAMERA about having to play a game that you get paid millions to play, at a resort. I know we all make decisions to go the routes we go. He plays ball, I completed a military career. Before complaining on camera about how tough DISNEY WORLD is, how bout you learn what it's like to be on the other side of the world, away from births, deaths, weddings, getting shelled when you're trying to talk to a loved one on spotty internet service. Getting your FOB attacked. Etc, etc. Not knowing if you're gonna make it till the morning, let alone back to the US. And you complaining bout being at Disney? Really?
I think y’all expect too much out these athletes y’all act like since they got millions they just robots instead of realizing they still humans
You wrote two paragraphs on TH-cam about him tho lol

Dats what he should start saying 😂😂
exactly that's the rsponse they give when stephen a hits them with reality
Or saying they should’ve completed their degree program before speaking on political issues or social injustices
But i don’t think players would scoff at that. Because they don’t have skills in journalism. They also don’t write articles journalizing the game lol
I’m so tired of players swearing you have to have played in the pros to comment on them. Cool, then tell EVERY athlete to STFU and play. We don’t want to hear them speak on ANYTHING other than the sport they play

Total disrespect and negligence on his part to make that statement
"I am a champion at what I do" that's a slow burn , I'm from Nigeria and First Take twice twice a week is part of my TV time.
It's very entertaining. I wish more would be attacked like this 😂
It truly is VERY entertaining lol
Give SAS time
Instead of rap battles we now have podcast 1v1!! 😂😂😂
Yea very entertaining making zero sound arguments and being all about theatrics. Really pandering to a low iq audience like the WWE.
Full transparency, sometimes I like Steven A's takes and sometimes not such much, but facts are facts.....I loved this take.....people will be better for it, present company included.
I’m usually with the players when it comes to them arguing with the media, but Stephen A you are 120% correct on this. Khawi and Paul George have been a joke
It's the absolute TRUTH!!! Facts don't lie!
