The only one acting out of character was Jay, he was the one that was triggered. Up here trying to project his emotions onto Stephen A, but I get why you would think that since SAS was ‘loud’ and Jay was ‘calm’.
Yup just like when jj called him out he got mad, when corey holcomb called him he got mad, when cj made him look stupid he got mad. My thing is stephen a dish all the crazy stuff he say out but he cant take it when it comes his way. Stephen a and skip bayless are the two most ignorant people I’ve seen who can never admit there wrong
TV needs to be like this more often. It's more entertaining watching people be real then to allow their bosses to tell them what to say in fears of what advertiser want.
Steven A. was pushing the company line 100%. He just said if the "white guy" is writing checks the "black guy" has to fall in line. The reason he said that was to protect Jewish sensibilities. He will talk trash about everything and everyone but he won't cross that line cause in the end he's just a paid for rent-a-bitch.

This is why Max Kellerman did not work. SAS could be all in his feelings, chest pumped up, angry, yelling, name calling, and Max would just look at him with a straight face, completely un-phased by it all. Max spoke with facts. Did he say dumb shit sometimes? Sure, we all do, but SAS often responds with his feelings, and does not like to be refuted. That's why JJ would never be able to sit next to him. JJ embarrasses SAS far worse than Max ever did, because he actually played as a pro and is a historian of the game. SAS was definitely in his feelings here.
He 100 percent backed down, Stephen a told him to say what he has to say, and he sitting there with his tail in-between his legs talking bout "oh I triggered you". He a grown ass man talking about triggering somebody

He's trash... He's always been trash and comes across uneducated and damn near simple... You must be incredibly stupid to throw away a NBA career for a motorcycle ride...
I'm sorry but Steven A is the adult in that room, Kyrie like a LOT of NBA players/celebrities want all the goodies that come with the job ( money, fame, prestige etc ) but none of the bad stuff ( hard work, hightened scrutiny, more responsabilities ) , like grow up my nigga, you're paid hundreds of millions to chase a ball, life is good.

The haymakers being thrown and the defense being played is ridiculous! The level of petty and passive aggression is top tier! You wanted to see who was gonna take a tumble but they both stood their ground, like two sumo wrestlers at a standstill in the great Ryogoku Kokugikan. I love it
If he was unbothered why didn't he address SAS's points. He attacked SAS instead because he lost the debate. If you're simple in the head you won't catch it.
It's all in a days work. This definitely was NOT scripted! Both men made some very valid points concerning the Kyrie Irving "drama" being pushed by the media.
Glad someone finally called Stephen A. on his BS!!! He’s ALWAYS in his feelings. He’s ALWAYS lashing out at strong MEN who stand on their square. Those that don’t bow to conformity. His the king of conforming and hates anyone who does what he could NEVER do…… STAND STRONG ON THEIR OWN BELIEFS.
Jay Will deserves an apology from Sir Foolery. He got called out for what it was which was he felt some way personally about Kyrie and Jay Will saw right through it.
Jay Williams is Kyries best buddy cmon now. The Dukes are gonna defend each other. Williams has always stood by Irving. Technically if you think about it a lot of the stuff that goes on with Kyrie goes on with other players. They just aren't as spectacular as Kyrie so it isn't that big of a deal.
@@joshahlstrom2764 You right because they have brought too much sensitivity to the platform in which this case is brought by the affect of things like the Tea Party and any other organization that is supported by gay and lesbian groups.
I honestly had a grudge against Jay because I am a Bulls fan and we never got to see him reach his potential, but it’s been great to watch him reach amazing heights as an analyst! Get ‘em Jay, I’m officially rooting for you again!!!
SAS lost as soon as he had nothing to say and started to attack Jay on a personal level. "bunch of BS you talkin' about", "when you come on national television and whining and moaning about that..." then follows up by saying "no no no, I'm not insulting you", then says "you are being ultra sensitive" LOL. Jay, you stood your ground and got SAS all worked up. 👏👏👏👏👏
Nah Jay will sounded pussy up there. He was bitching and didn’t even make a good case. They go for that vaccine and instagram bs because that’s all they got to go on. Stephen in the past has laid out about 6 points it’s the 4 people like Jay never answer. Kyrie is a doof, and barely plays half a season every year…. Not just Covid. Nets what his project and he fucked it up. The dumbest part is people blaming management as if they didn’t give everything they could them to win. Here’s what nobody talks about the nets did better in the playoffs with no names b4 kyrie got there. Kyrie got a lot of money for not a lot of playing over 4 years. Y’all talk like he took a pay cut or was sitting at home for free
Because Company man SAS supported the anti-American clot shot now being exposed and pulverized in the NY courts. SAScant reference that anymore or he’ll look like Stephen A Mengele and he knows it. That’s why he’s so mad and shouting “BS.” He’s handcuffed and pissed. Jay knows this and slayed him. Respect! That man stood tall. 🎯
Both were right but Jays point don’t effect the trade from happening, it was unethical. Jay’s point: What the nets and other corporations did to Kyrie and people alike was unethical, unlike other people, Kyrie was able to keep his job. SAS point: Kyrie is employee for a job, when you don’t show up, you can’t expect to get raise. Yes, he stood up for what he believed in, but it comes with a cost. Complaining about Jeff Bezos was irrelevant to why Kyrie got traded.
@@AlexCole272 - Kyrie lost millions. He wasn't absent. He was prevented under an anti-Constitutional mandate/law forcing him to choose between making a lot of money and playing versus standing up for his right not to be lab right and others. He chose to lose MILLIONS and stand up for his civil rights and point to others he was standing up for too. I will NEVER forget it. I thank and respect Kyrie. Every damn day. Novak too. Legends! 👍🏼 SAS, company man, can GFH.
@@IronHorsey3 did I not say what the nets did to Kyrie was unethical. Simple. SAS never once said he disliked what Kyrie did, he said it came at a great cost. Yes Kyrie lost money, but you can’t blame the Nets for not wanting to give him an extension.
Exactly and it's not a bias it's a reality. At the end of the day Kyrie is an amazing talent but he's an employee and as an employee there's just some things you gotta adhere to. You can't do what you want and expect to be paid what u want
@@tdavidson31td I feel all that because that's real shit. But it's the NBA we talking about. Ain't no other job like it. It's a player driven league. NBA players been doing whatever they want to do forever. KD just forced a trade with 3 years left on a SuperMax deal. Kawhi & PG on max deals. Them boys play whenever they feel like it. James Harden get fat everytime he wanna switch teams and he still get a max deal. Wall been hurt for about 5yrs now that man was on a max deal. Even the halfway decent players get big deals.
That is interesting, Kyrie is the first person to ever call into work. Oh, he gets a very good salary so he must perform at all cost. Nah, I don't think so.
Yo J will really took my point to heart.. what i said “crazy how proud are willing to cancel kyrie over a tweet but still use the service that distributes it”
Stephen A going to do Jay , just like Skip did J.Rose on the show. After J. Rose cut into skip so raw and with facts. We never seen J. Rose on first take anymore. It's funny how Mfers can dish it out , but can't take it.Stand your ground J. Will 💯
The truth is Rose is wrong for using the you didn’t play sports card and cutting Skip like that, what if Michael Jordan pulled up on Rose saying , hey your opinion doesn’t matter cuz you have no rings and was mediocre at best
@@tonyrizzo615 Lmfao nah. Skip was a true no talent scrub. Playing with kids 2 years younger and still being complete ass. Water pistol pete jr is well deserved.
@@tonyrizzo615 Great point. As the great Larry Merchant once told Roy Jones jr. when Jones said the same thing to Merchant during a boxing match; "we can agree to disagree without having to pull rank"!
Jay Williams has always been objective in this conversation and calls BS when he sees fit. He was on point yet again and seeing Stephen A get so animated proved his point perfectly. Kyrie’s game play over the last few months proves that the Nets made a huge mistake. I am glad he glad he got what he wanted with Dallas and it will be good to see how he helps that team…
Jay W. is a terrible commentator for always being politically correct and emotionally driven than being based and factual. He's always the apologist when people like SAS are calling players out for their shenanigans and would mostly take a passive-aggressive approach against people challenging him.
Williams was the FIRST guy in the corporate media to call out the nets and the media for their hypocrisy, and for taking this kyrie thing way too far. I think kyrie is a knucklehead, but the nets and the media overplayed their hand. Nets management started acting like they were running a dam plantation, where kyrie had to be broken and endlessly humiliated over a stupid amazon movie. Of course he demanded a trade! F them. I would have done the same thing. I would quit my job at the first opportunity after being treated like that. I'm glad he F..uked them over. Got his revenge
Stephen A can lie all he wants too about not getting personal with players but I recall him getting into it with Kevin Durant and making a monologue telling him "don't make an enemy out of me" - as if he could do anything to Kevin Durant.
Kyrie did what most NBA players won't do today. He spoke up and he stood for something that was deeper than himself. Much Respect to Kyrie. Stephen has the gift of Gab and although he makes a good point here and there he's never been consistent.
Bro I love Jay. He’s the ONLY one that doesn’t fold ….💯 he knows that they are gonna move him for that eventually but said what he needed in front of the world. Good for him
'no you're not' 'yes I am' 'no you're not' 'O, yes I am'... If J would've said... 'yes you are'.. and Steven a then woulda said 'no I'm not'.. let the cartoon start😂
No matter what you may think about s a is right Kylie can't be trusted he's proven it over and over Jay will is to pro player it's more to just being a great and exciting player you must be a professional and take responsibility for your actions I don't care who or what you are kyrie wants to get paid on a long term deal this was not the way to show you deserve one
Remember too coming out Patrick was a project. Andy raid put in the sircraid component system he was horrid in the west west coast system Alex smith ran for Reid. Reid understood successful coaches fit systems around players but only NE ran an air raid component system nfl was never friendly to air raid quarterbacks. Why thier was greatvpausexwith Patrick remember his nfl grade was 6.30 that’s a fourth round grade. Patrick was fortunate he had Alex smith the ultimate quarterback coach. When he was at Utah university he volunteered at local high school helping quarterbacks as a quarterback coach. Alex will be an nfl HC one day. Patrick got the right head coach who utilized his skill set in his preferred system. Great results! I’d wager any other system would be much more pedestrian. A lot of sircraid quarterbacks busted out simply because they never had opportunities in thier preferred offense. Talent was their system and coach flexibility was not.
Stephen A also said that if you attempt a field goal on third down, and you miss it, you can try it again on fourth down. A ridiculous person who has made a living with loud. Smith gets a pass, where others would be laughed off the air.
@@ARIZJOE Charles Barkley said it best when he comes after Skip Bayless for acting like he knows everything about every sport and I think Stephen A. falls into that category as well.
This is the reason Stephen is on ESPN and getting 10 million dollars a year is because of personality and style I seen Steve come a long way from Fox in his days and he still here because of that people hate this is on ESPN people they created this.
Man Idc what anybody says Kyrie stood on his beliefs regardless of how anyone else felt about it. You don't get that a lot these days at all so I respect him on and off the court. Nothing wrong with someone telling you how they feel straight up. I am also a person who has a hard time sugar coating things I'm straightforward to a fault I do come off as rude sometimes because of it.
Kyrie is a solid dude they been trashing his character left and right because for personal reasons that he clearly explained in the past missed games trying to find a balance being young trying figure out his purpose outside of his job as far as being a humanitarian wanting to do more and giving a fuc" about people he clearly said he just needed a break from it all to regroup his thoughts so he could have balance in my opinion ,but charles ,shaq steven a smith the media pushes this narrative about him as this ignorant self young man and when i hear him speak hes far from that and when i read how he gives back selfish is far from his character and doesnt apply to him ,work ethic u dont have the game he has unless you work on your craft period thats years of putting in work on your game to be as good as he is at ball,but what also takes time is growth from a young man to a man and he speaks on certain things those that criticize have never even read or looked up before ,barkley ran for office i believe and doesnt understand politics at all iny book this shit is getting old and its not new when u speak truth or stand out as a man and not let people shape you into what they feel u should be or u learn something that they are afraid to learn they mark you a villain
You'll get hurt one day when you disrespect the wrong person.Being straightforward isn't the problem being rude and disrespectful while at it this is coming from someone who is always straightforward.
I don’t think anybody arguing his character. It’s a question of commitment. He made a commitment to a team. A team that also a business. You can’t blame the business for setting stipulations, no matter how ridiculous it sounds, because they are in the business of winning. When you have a track record like Kyrie for missing so many games even if you can justify the reasons you can’t blame the team for being like “why are we gonna give max dollars to a part time player” That’s just common sense. I usually side with the player when it comes to making money but you really can’t blame the team here for doing what they did
Getting hurt ain’t something real people afraid of. We gone go to war then. Before we fold on our principles and bellies for somebody else’s opinion and feelings. I’ll be rude if I have to and we can fight to the death.
They both made valid points. The media seems to have more say so about a person’s character than they do themself. When it’s found to be wrong, the same energy isn’t given for an apology, or correcting the damage done.
Yeah 4:55 Stephen isn’t wrong. Let alone Amazon is harder to hit than a basketball player. Better bring your urinal if you work there lol. Tsai did hit Kyrie over the head after compliance, which Jay said was an abuse of power. I think the matter is more of how something is said over what, as I know people will make a last stand over fighting masks despite helping in dusty or chemical areas let alone when someone is sick.
@@MrVariant Also whats there for SAS to talk about with amazon? Amazon doesnt play ball, so why talk about Jeff? Kyrie is a superstar who does. The show is about sports.
@junioraynal that is true. It's annoying when athletes wanna go political on their terms and then China is too hot to handle for LeBron James. I admit it is justified when they're mistreated out of uniform as some fans are crazy to root for the team and be racist to the athletes during or after the game. Let alone families like Westbrick's son. I'd only mock papa Westbrook and be done with it, like with Giannis' slow free throws that I can play a game of angry birds in.
they both made valid points??? THEY BOTH MADE VALID POINTS??? okay you white and you say so like, don't you dare bring bezos into this, that's irrelevant you white and you say so Jayson, kudos you're the ONLY one going in as hard as someone with such a platform SHOULD be going in
Jay Williams took it personally. Stephen A wasn't wrong. Unfortunately some players don't like to be held accountable for anything and get offended by any pushback. Jay clearly doesn't want to hurt his relationships with active players like Kyrie

S.A.Ssy has many examples of getting personal when reporting on player's. Dude's the #1 pocket watcher of all time! Plus calling player's a " bust" is as personal as it gets. S.A.Ssy's own contract reflects it not what you're worth, it's what you can negotiate.
Excepts it’s not you’re a professional athlete you’re open for criticism that’s just it if you were a high pick not playing up to standards you’re a bust it’s not personal.
Yeah. Smith is slimey and buffonish. Williams is classy and articulate. That's why Stephen kept trying to cut him off. Williams was making totally valid points that Smith didn't want to hear
SAS definitely was in his feelings. You can tell just by the elevation in his voice at different points of the convo, and the shots taken at Jay Williams. Thats "In yo feelings" 101
Jay did say something that got my attention. He said (not verbatim) Why does StephenA feel that certain way toward kyrie? Look, SAS will always compliment kyrie THE PLAYER. But whenever he has a chance to dog on kyrie THE PERSON, he won't give up that chance. Personally, I think it stems from when they let kyrie come on ESPN, and they had all these questions for kyrie. And all he had was a bunch of word salad responses, dancin around all them questions like he how be dancin on the court. SAS even said after the interview, or the next day, I'm not sure, that him comin on was a complete waste of time. And ever since then, I feel SAS feels some kind a way about kyrie...personally speaking. I think thats what Jay was alluding to about him being triggered whenever kyrie comes up as a topic. But I could be wrong though.
That’s a real stupid point to try and make on tv. Everybody has ppl they don’t like and a lot of ppl don’t like kyrie for obvious reasons he keeps showing he’s a suspect if a human being everybody had been goin of in kyrie THE PERSON so is jay will going to defend his butt buddy against everyone? Smh what a dumb comment
@@MoeDaBeast75 that's true, about the ratings. And Molly seemed to play her part, by tryin to seem like it was gettin personal and break it up lol. And to your previous comment about skip & LeBron, that's a good comparison that slipped my mind.
@Antonio Cartel it is bro like imagine giving nba teams ideas and floating around contract incentives on how he should be paid etc etc before anything major even happened just cause of the vac.. that’s personal sf ever since then whenever SA talks about him he belittles him and says he shouldn’t get paid
@Antonio Cartel anytime anything crosses Stephen A's politics it's personal and this issue was political and personal. Stephen A is a brainwashed moron Democrat and marches to that beat. If any "brotha" crosses that line he makes it personal.
Agree remember when Stephen A got Kyrie on First Take after he left Cleveland? Stephen A had a good relationship with his people and clearly something happened behind the scenes.

Steven A. was pushing the company line 100%. He just said if the "white guy" is writing checks the "black guy" has to fall in line. The reason he said that was to protect Jewish sensibilities. He will talk trash about everything and everyone but he won't cross that line cause in the end he's just a paid for rent-a-bitch.

👏👏👏👏👏
Nah Jay will sounded pussy up there. He was bitching and didn’t even make a good case. They go for that vaccine and instagram bs because that’s all they got to go on. Stephen in the past has laid out about 6 points it’s the 4 people like Jay never answer. Kyrie is a doof, and barely plays half a season every year…. Not just Covid. Nets what his project and he fucked it up. The dumbest part is people blaming management as if they didn’t give everything they could them to win. Here’s what nobody talks about the nets did better in the playoffs with no names b4 kyrie got there. Kyrie got a lot of money for not a lot of playing over 4 years. Y’all talk like he took a pay cut or was sitting at home for free
Because Company man SAS supported the anti-American clot shot now being exposed and pulverized in the NY courts. SAScant reference that anymore or he’ll look like Stephen A Mengele and he knows it. That’s why he’s so mad and shouting “BS.” He’s handcuffed and pissed. Jay knows this and slayed him. Respect! That man stood tall. 🎯
Both were right but Jays point don’t effect the trade from happening, it was unethical.
Jay’s point: What the nets and other corporations did to Kyrie and people alike was unethical, unlike other people, Kyrie was able to keep his job.
SAS point: Kyrie is employee for a job, when you don’t show up, you can’t expect to get raise. Yes, he stood up for what he believed in, but it comes with a cost. Complaining about Jeff Bezos was irrelevant to why Kyrie got traded.
@@AlexCole272 - Kyrie lost millions. He wasn't absent. He was prevented under an anti-Constitutional mandate/law forcing him to choose between making a lot of money and playing versus standing up for his right not to be lab right and others. He chose to lose MILLIONS and stand up for his civil rights and point to others he was standing up for too.
I will NEVER forget it. I thank and respect Kyrie. Every damn day. Novak too. Legends! 👍🏼 SAS, company man, can GFH.
@@IronHorsey3 did I not say what the nets did to Kyrie was unethical. Simple. SAS never once said he disliked what Kyrie did, he said it came at a great cost. Yes Kyrie lost money, but you can’t blame the Nets for not wanting to give him an extension.
The main thing that SAS has been saying numerous times is that Kyrie finds ways to miss games, either his fault or not
Ok but he has a clear bias against him bc of his vaccine views and attacks him on a personal level anytime he can
@@jluis612 probably do wouldn’t put it past him
Exactly and it's not a bias it's a reality. At the end of the day Kyrie is an amazing talent but he's an employee and as an employee there's just some things you gotta adhere to. You can't do what you want and expect to be paid what u want
@@tdavidson31td I feel all that because that's real shit. But it's the NBA we talking about. Ain't no other job like it. It's a player driven league. NBA players been doing whatever they want to do forever. KD just forced a trade with 3 years left on a SuperMax deal. Kawhi & PG on max deals. Them boys play whenever they feel like it. James Harden get fat everytime he wanna switch teams and he still get a max deal. Wall been hurt for about 5yrs now that man was on a max deal. Even the halfway decent players get big deals.
That is interesting, Kyrie is the first person to ever call into work. Oh, he gets a very good salary so he must perform at all cost. Nah, I don't think so.
Kyire has been spectacular this year and has been great against the clippers in round 1. Wonder how they feel now about the trade

Jay was physically and emotionally triggered when SAS said he was whining. Then tells SAS he’s being emotional 🤣🤣🤣
Jay Williams has always been objective in this conversation and calls BS when he sees fit. He was on point yet again and seeing Stephen A get so animated proved his point perfectly. Kyrie’s game play over the last few months proves that the Nets made a huge mistake. I am glad he glad he got what he wanted with Dallas and it will be good to see how he helps that team…
Facts. Plus Mark Cuban is the owner. He is great with players & endorsements. Yeah the Nets made a big mistake
Jay W. is a terrible commentator for always being politically correct and emotionally driven than being based and factual. He's always the apologist when people like SAS are calling players out for their shenanigans and would mostly take a passive-aggressive approach against people challenging him.
He will find a way to not come to work at some point.
Williams was the FIRST guy in the corporate media to call out the nets and the media for their hypocrisy, and for taking this kyrie thing way too far. I think kyrie is a knucklehead, but the nets and the media overplayed their hand. Nets management started acting like they were running a dam plantation, where kyrie had to be broken and endlessly humiliated over a stupid amazon movie. Of course he demanded a trade! F them. I would have done the same thing. I would quit my job at the first opportunity after being treated like that. I'm glad he F..uked them over. Got his revenge
@@Dtitilator always a ying snd yang for television. But as I said be is objective while other on that panel are not.

Let’s remember that Stephen said that Patrick mahomes was not a first second or third round draft pick
Remember too coming out Patrick was a project. Andy raid put in the sircraid component system he was horrid in the west west coast system Alex smith ran for Reid. Reid understood successful coaches fit systems around players but only NE ran an air raid component system nfl was never friendly to air raid quarterbacks. Why thier was greatvpausexwith Patrick remember his nfl grade was 6.30 that’s a fourth round grade. Patrick was fortunate he had Alex smith the ultimate quarterback coach. When he was at Utah university he volunteered at local high school helping quarterbacks as a quarterback coach. Alex will be an nfl HC one day. Patrick got the right head coach who utilized his skill set in his preferred system. Great results! I’d wager any other system would be much more pedestrian. A lot of sircraid quarterbacks busted out simply because they never had opportunities in thier preferred offense. Talent was their system and coach flexibility was not.
Um….so did half the league.
Stephen A also said that if you attempt a field goal on third down, and you miss it, you can try it again on fourth down. A ridiculous person who has made a living with loud. Smith gets a pass, where others would be laughed off the air.

🎯 Dude needs his ass whooped. It's looooooong overdue.
Because he voice his opinion the way he does huh 🤣
Man Idc what anybody says Kyrie stood on his beliefs regardless of how anyone else felt about it. You don't get that a lot these days at all so I respect him on and off the court. Nothing wrong with someone telling you how they feel straight up. I am also a person who has a hard time sugar coating things I'm straightforward to a fault I do come off as rude sometimes because of it.
Kyrie is a solid dude they been trashing his character left and right because for personal reasons that he clearly explained in the past missed games trying to find a balance being young trying figure out his purpose outside of his job as far as being a humanitarian wanting to do more and giving a fuc" about people he clearly said he just needed a break from it all to regroup his thoughts so he could have balance in my opinion ,but charles ,shaq steven a smith the media pushes this narrative about him as this ignorant self young man and when i hear him speak hes far from that and when i read how he gives back selfish is far from his character and doesnt apply to him ,work ethic u dont have the game he has unless you work on your craft period thats years of putting in work on your game to be as good as he is at ball,but what also takes time is growth from a young man to a man and he speaks on certain things those that criticize have never even read or looked up before ,barkley ran for office i believe and doesnt understand politics at all iny book this shit is getting old and its not new when u speak truth or stand out as a man and not let people shape you into what they feel u should be or u learn something that they are afraid to learn they mark you a villain
You'll get hurt one day when you disrespect the wrong person.Being straightforward isn't the problem being rude and disrespectful while at it this is coming from someone who is always straightforward.
I don’t think anybody arguing his character. It’s a question of commitment. He made a commitment to a team. A team that also a business. You can’t blame the business for setting stipulations, no matter how ridiculous it sounds, because they are in the business of winning. When you have a track record like Kyrie for missing so many games even if you can justify the reasons you can’t blame the team for being like “why are we gonna give max dollars to a part time player” That’s just common sense. I usually side with the player when it comes to making money but you really can’t blame the team here for doing what they did
@@denaz8732 bull shit

Yeah 4:55 Stephen isn’t wrong. Let alone Amazon is harder to hit than a basketball player. Better bring your urinal if you work there lol.

@@MrVariant Also whats there for SAS to talk about with amazon? Amazon doesnt play ball, so why talk about Jeff? Kyrie is a superstar who does. The show is about sports.
@junioraynal that is true. It's annoying when athletes wanna go political on their terms and then China is too hot to handle for LeBron James. I admit it is justified when they're mistreated out of uniform as some fans are crazy to root for the team and be racist to the athletes during or after the game. Let alone families like Westbrick's son. I'd only mock papa Westbrook and be done with it, like with Giannis' slow free throws that I can play a game of angry birds in.

And ever since then, I feel SAS feels some kind a way about kyrie...personally speaking. I think thats what Jay was alluding to about him being triggered whenever kyrie comes up as a topic. But I could be wrong though.
True he has no issues with Kyrie the player. Well, when he actually wants to play. But he does tend to go a bit hard when it comes to KD the person.
It’s like Skip takes on LeBron James
They do it for the ratings and attention
That’s a real stupid point to try and make on tv. Everybody has ppl they don’t like and a lot of ppl don’t like kyrie for obvious reasons he keeps showing he’s a suspect if a human being everybody had been goin of in kyrie THE PERSON so is jay will going to defend his butt buddy against everyone? Smh what a dumb comment
@@MoeDaBeast75 that's true, about the ratings. And Molly seemed to play her part, by tryin to seem like it was gettin personal and break it up lol. And to your previous comment about skip & LeBron, that's a good comparison that slipped my mind.
Imagine when Stephen A was a kid sitting on the bench never being picked to play 😊
He did play college basketball. That means he was better than 90% of high school players. There is that
@@ericm1462 some no name college, did he even play or just on scout team?
@@ajjjay9583 yes. he got a basketball scholarship on the spot in front of a scout.
& getting his a&& kicked also!!
Yeah now the nerd with the gift of the gap is the boss over the popular jock then 😂
That was so uncomfortable to watch. It's like watching someone get fired.
Jay Williams you're a class act. It comes through as clear as day.
Duke Nation. He's obligated to protect his brother. Big ups to J. Williams
And I'm Tarheels but I respect Jay.
just protected common sense
So it was indeed personal, then why did he accuse Steve A of something he knew he was doing himself?
Ain't got nothing to do with duke, he standing up, like Kyrie stood up, and nobody in the media had his back, not even his own people!
@@j4genius961 deflection
I have even more respect for Jay now. We have all seen Stephen A. takes on Kyrie and it's completely obviously personal for him for months now.
@Antonio Cartel it is bro like imagine giving nba teams ideas and floating around contract incentives on how he should be paid etc etc before anything major even happened just cause of the vac.. that’s personal sf ever since then whenever SA talks about him he belittles him and says he shouldn’t get paid
@Antonio Cartel anytime anything crosses Stephen A's politics it's personal and this issue was political and personal. Stephen A is a brainwashed moron Democrat and marches to that beat. If any "brotha" crosses that line he makes it personal.
Agree remember when Stephen A got Kyrie on First Take after he left Cleveland? Stephen A had a good relationship with his people and clearly something happened behind the scenes.
