resentment displacement and self-loathing projection ppl who hate something in themselves often begin to hate others who exhibit the same thing. his loathing towards injured players is likely rooted in a deep self resentment that he’s never come to terms with.
Why is that hard to see? Y’all really think he just loves basketball for no reason? I swear I don’t even like Stephen A but y’all clown him way too much.
@@drewmeyer9679 which is why he should be more understanding. He called players that lasted 12 years in the NBA and made over $60million a burst. Kwame is fighting for himself now, he's all grown up.
Load management instead of getting the best available treatment is what he's against because they're paid millions which makes it easier to find a solution KD is a perfect example after the ACL tear he changed his training and approach to reduce injury risk
I think its players who might mot be actually injured likethose who might not be really injured and load managing or making excuses like ben's back, kawhi
@@afrooharThey have real injuries, there's no evidence to say otherwise, why would a sane organization let players sit out during a plaoff series on game 6
Don’t think it’s worth responding to folks that take what his says and twists to fit their narrative to justify their hate for Stephen A Smith…. Likeee y’all already got hate or dislike for the guy so what’s the point of commenting when you got hate already for him ?
He would've been getting dunked on and pushed around with his middle school boy body!!! 😂😂😂 Naw I rocc with Stephen A. Smith cuz he doesn't sugarcoat things!!!
You ain't gotta lie to kick it. I was a D1 all-american and I don't even say this much when asked about it. Most mfers who was actually good at stuff don't feel the need to do so much explaining.
Huh... Kawhi sits out pretty much a whole season with leg soreness. A muscle fatigue. Stephen A is talking about breaking a major joint. A bone... breaking... It's totally, completely, entirely, unbelievably different. Kawhi when he's healthy is one of the top 5 players in the league, but the dude does need a ton of load management. What's wrong with calling him out on that?
Most professional athletes careers are less than 4 years. People make fun of Kenny Smith but he was still the 1% that make it that long the legends are the 1% of the 1%. So no, I cant blame Stephen. In a world whereas everyone was 6'4" things would be different
Paul George: "If you hadn't cracked your kneecap, what woulda happened?" Stephen A: "*exhales*... Kenny Smith *proceeds to give a 5 minute soliloquy on Kenny Smith's career*... Bottom line, I love that man. He's my man. Queens NY baby., But I woulda busted his ass in the NBA. I would represent Queens in the 90s baby. Not him. No doubt."
He trippin with this. Some people need to admit they just weren’t ballers. Not all of us can be. I played varsity in HS but I wasn’t going anywhere. Thats okay.
@@RT-qz5cismall school??? It’s a D2 school however Dereck White who plays for Celtics was a D2 athlete. Ben Wallace is a HOF (D2). Earl “the Pearl@ Monroe started for Knicks and has a NBA championship and he’s the highest drafted D2 player. So its still possible. Talent is talent. What athletic scholarship did you have? I had a D1 scholarship in track and field so trust getting one aint easy
So a low D2 HBCU who barely had scholarship money or afford books, kept a bum walk-on on the squad for four years?? Remember, he said he was on scholarship for 4 years in another story! To all of my fellow former college athletes and people with common sense, make it make sense
Bruh, how come nobody brought up that time when Stephen A. Smith used play in the G-League for the Westchester Knicks, he managed to score 50-60pts. per game and 19 triple doubles in the 2014-2015 season? People really do be sleepin' on this fact.
This guy ain't no baller at all soooo ...no way no how was he even good enough as I have seen him on the floor before NBA games and trying to stroke some jumpers with a push shot for a jumper while having his blazer on or off and I'm not impressed 💯 percent but there are no players that are available to refute this story to this day and he was irrelevant on this team and according to him that he didn't play at all so why even bring it up at all because he only was the 12 th man 😎 sitting on the bench getting splinters😂
So he understands what it’s like to be injured… then why all the ‘vitriol’ towards injured players 😂
exactly
It’s toward guys who not really injured but don’t play. He basically couldn’t play at all.
resentment displacement and self-loathing projection
ppl who hate something in themselves often begin to hate others who exhibit the same thing.
his loathing towards injured players is likely rooted in a deep self resentment that he’s never come to terms with.
He’s had “vitriol” towards load management
Exactly
Everybody has an uncle with that same exact story.
All American nephew
His story changes like the weather.
Stephen A was determined to be the next MJ
Dang hard to see Stephen smith being a basketball player
If you see him in person, you see it. He's pretty tall and has long arms, and is still athletic looking
Especially after the bricks he shot next to harden
Why is that hard to see? Y’all really think he just loves basketball for no reason? I swear I don’t even like Stephen A but y’all clown him way too much.
@@aaronbarkley539 I’m not clowning💀
@@aaronbarkley539 and bro calm down if he knows what knee injury’s are like why does he attack kawhi so much like chill Stephan smith fan boy💀🥵
A 6inch screw!?!?!? Bro got the biggest kneecaps I've never seen😂😂😂
Prolly is facing downward into the bone
@@Bi-HanTheTyrantThats some big brain action right there😤
😂
🤥
GOAT right here, Lavar Ball and MJ wouldn't stand a chance. He should've got a scholarship to a hair club
Fashion Institute... lol
He attacked injured players in NBA, but couldn't even survive 1st year college ball.
Nah most of those "injured" Players aren't even injured, they're either load managing or fake injuries
Bruh he had a cracked knee cap back in the 80s. They didn’t have the technology we do now
@@drewmeyer9679 which is why he should be more understanding. He called players that lasted 12 years in the NBA and made over $60million a burst. Kwame is fighting for himself now, he's all grown up.
@@adealadejarerealestatehe was a bust... he was a #1 draft pick and averaged less than 2 pts a game...
No one’s kneecap is big enough to need a 6 inch screw, , maybe 6-1 inch screws
Just hear me out bud, its going up and down not sideways
Everyones reason for not going pro almost always involves their knee 😂
Just saw his jumper today with lethal shooter… he valid 😭💯
He attacks Kawhi, AD, and PG13 but he couldn't even last.
He complains about load management, not actual injuries. If someone tears their acl he's not gon complain about them not playing 😂
mainly because they are hurt or dont want them to get hurt@@alecvip7562
Load management instead of getting the best available treatment is what he's against because they're paid millions which makes it easier to find a solution KD is a perfect example after the ACL tear he changed his training and approach to reduce injury risk
He had a screw in his knee he said by 2000 technology advanced and they could take it out he was already like 25-30😂😂😂
@@aa8995kd never tore his acl he tore his achllies
Steven a with his al Bundy basketball career😂😂😂
They should make him prove everything he is saying
He went from 1 game to no games … Stephen A need to chill with all the capping !! He’s going out sad
Talking that fast with a 'ready made on the fly story?' Come on man, by the look of PG13 he knew SAS was lying.
Winston -Salem State - alma mater of Earl Monroe... Now that was a ballplayer...
One of the biggest what ifs 😮😮😮😮😮😮
So now you all know … that’s why it costs 3k to go to a Stephen A basketball camp
I was stopped at “NC insurance wouldn’t pay”. Even tho they make millions off your ass for free.
Sounds like the guy outside the 7/11
My man’s has a whole damn lot to say….and then disses injured players trying to protect their bodies 🤔
kawhi protect so much his body that he didn't play a proper season in 4 years
that explains so match about his loathing toward injured players
it’s resentment projection
That explains everything!!!!!!
A six inch screw in a knee.🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
Stephen A. Smith is a cool guy
He got a crew 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀
I have my screw in and they put in 2006 lmao they told me I was gonna be awake so I was like nah leave that mf in lmao
stephen lying his ass off
Then why don't you search it and see for yourself😂
THAT DETROIT INFLUENCE ON STEVEN A. SMITH IS REAL!!! CARTIES!!!
So if he understands how injury can derail a career how can he blame injured players for missing games…
Exactly 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I think its players who might mot be actually injured likethose who might not be really injured and load managing or making excuses like ben's back, kawhi
@@afrooharThey have real injuries, there's no evidence to say otherwise, why would a sane organization let players sit out during a plaoff series on game 6
He doesn't
He doesn’t blame players for being injured, you’re an idiot if you actually think that.
D Rose before D Rose 😅
Pause.
Ratio.
Does he know how long a 6" screw is? Stephen A. a 12 ounce can of Coke is @ 5" tall.
Dude been lying the whole time 😂
Don’t think it’s worth responding to folks that take what his says and twists to fit their narrative to justify their hate for Stephen A Smith…. Likeee y’all already got hate or dislike for the guy so what’s the point of commenting when you got hate already for him ?
Wat was his high school stats man
If you’re aware about how devastating knee injuries are then why do you attack kawhi about not playing so much?
Does this guy realize how long six inches are....?
He would've been getting dunked on and pushed around with his middle school boy body!!! 😂😂😂 Naw I rocc with Stephen A. Smith cuz he doesn't sugarcoat things!!!
Cool story, bro
Homie picked a story and ran with it 😂
But he actually did receive a scholarship you can look it up lol
Oh my favoite, people just saying someone is lying because they want it to be true. The internet at its finest.
If he NEVER played, how did he average 1.2 points a game?😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
That hairline is biblical
That ain't no hairline, that's a hair fairway , a hairway. A long ass stretch of forehead land, lined by the rough n hazards
At least Stephen A is real about his career in basketball unlike Skip who claims he was Steph Curry before there was even a 3 point line.
Water pistol Pete jr
Dude always explaining ISH just admit u was a scrub at basketball,
Whitlock exposed him.
The best that never made it. Convince me otherwise.
You ain't gotta lie to kick it. I was a D1 all-american and I don't even say this much when asked about it. Most mfers who was actually good at stuff don't feel the need to do so much explaining.
Sas got chips for Sacramento if you know you know
They didn't pay for his Surgery because he never played for them.
But he hates on Kawhi Leonard when he’s playing through worse injuries than was ended his short career
Bum ass Kawhi has literally never played through an injury, hell I don’t even remember the last time he played over 30 games.
Huh... Kawhi sits out pretty much a whole season with leg soreness. A muscle fatigue. Stephen A is talking about breaking a major joint. A bone... breaking... It's totally, completely, entirely, unbelievably different.

The way the media and American public verbally abuses and bullies NBA players is disgusting
SO HE LIED. I DONT THINK HE EVER GRADUATED.
PG can relate

Hmmmm a cracked kneecap??? Haven’t heard of that injury
There's a lot of things he can't say on espn.
And he talking trash about Lonzo Ball smh..either or player or sport analyst sAs is trash
Knee(CAP)
AT LEAST HE ADMITTED HE LIED ....
HE SAID, I cracked me knee - CAP

And Paul out here $hi77ing on SAS without suffering an injury 1/3 as bad as SAS.
Hush Paul.

Kneecap is like 2 inches, how they gonna put a 6 inch screw in there? I had the same injury, screws are like 1/4 inch. Dumbass SAS always lyin'

How was he not a baller if he got a basketball scholarship to college? Make it make sense
He did get a scholarship to hoop, don't be hater brotha.
so they gave him the scolarship for fun LOL
That was a looooong time ago. The talent pool is infinitely deeper now. At a small ass school. Just my take

He hit 17 3s in one game. Can't say he couldn't play
So when ist Not Out He can show us His evidence haha Fake skip
Dude sprained his ankle as a water boy stfu, he soft in his own eyes
Sounds contrived to me.
He was trash before the injury.
