Exactly. ESPN can push any narrative that they want to. They know controversies and negativity sells so they going push whatever narrative that will bring viewers to the channel. ESPN became a gossip channel and said we don’t really care about the Sports coverage.
@@travissmith6380 Covering sports isn’t negativity. When Embiid plays like a bum ima say he played like a Bum. If he played well, then we gonna say he played well.
Yeah. But he's right though. All of a sudden people like LeBron James are all about positivity? Nah. Are we forgetting that LeBron put a target on a police officer's head because he thought the officer was guilty? He had to delete the tweet. They act righteous when it's convenient for them and it's a load of bs.
I get when y’all say this, but y’all act like popularity doesn’t drive ratings. If two people compete & the one no one knows about wins, yes we’ll give them their 15 minutes of fame. But then we’re going to spend an hr on the popular person losing. Like yea ideally it shouldn’t be that way but it’s not
@ not sure how old you are but when Jordan and the Bulls won they ONLY talked about the greatness of Jordan, they didn’t spend the majority of the time talking about Malone and Stockton. So Stephen A knows for example they talk about the Cowboys, the COWBOYS, why? They aren’t a playoff team lol. They are in the business of hating
I'm sick of the media in general, excuse me but it's racist to me looking at every news sports analyst of color and only simp white guys that cower are included on espn. The black population is 14 percent with a 80 percent ratio hmmm weird and then oh yeah luka had 70 some back handed comment but embid he has 60 and they talk up who they want to and it shows who and why they like or say things that aren't true especially white coaches I've heard all I want hear about mark jackson and him deserving all the credit for setting up Steve kerr... hmmm in sports teams sign rapists if they think they can win if mark Jackson was a winner and that good then he would be coaching! It's not a accident he can't get a job, look at doc rivers worst coach, but look how even when it's undeniable they keep trying, but if it's steve Nash he's some coach hasn't coached a day in his life throw him out there like he failed durant irving harden lol its politics in sports, screaming racism and then they get the platform and it's biased worse and it is clear to someone who has been alive long enough not to be taught to hate your skin color white.
The national sports media does not cover sports, they cover markets... They cover 4-5 teams per sport, and everyone else is fodder to ridicule or pick 'potential stars' from to the teams they actually care about. It has become unwatchable.
@TheBenolan In the NBA the cover: Boston Celtics, New York Knicks, LA Lakers, Golden State Warriors, Dallas Mavericks, Philadelphia 76ers. NFL: They cover the Dallas Cowboys, Buffalo Bills, Kansas City Chiefs, SF 49ers, LA Rams, Baltimore Ravens, Green Bay Packers, and recently the Detroit Lions. The rest of the league don’t matter haha 😆
"How can the sports media be negative if Kevin Durant is sometimes negative?" -SAS Nothing like frothing at the mouth early in the morning for five straight minutes to prove you're the nice one, actually.
And I can’t stand how Kimberly Martin is just co-signing all of this like he’s preaching the gospel. She is his mini-me and does the same negative stuff SAS does. These analysts have just gotten disrespectful and that’s what Rich and Lebron are speaking to.
I hope ESPN has a 'plan B' in place for when Lebron retires because, if not, it's going to be quite a rocky road ahead. Cuts and layoffs will be coming left, right, and center!
They are just going to talk about lebron in retirement it’s never going to end , kind of like Jerry jones and the cowboys whether or not they are good , espn talks about them EVERYDAY !!
Kyrie, Kaepernick, Kwame Brown (he didn't like dudes with K in their name evidently) we can go on and on but those 3 in particular because they have mild mannered reserved personalities and he went HAM on them regularly.
5:00 lmao, basically says negativity is necessary for them. Apparently negativity helps people enjoy sports more, according to Brian W. They really don't understand what KD's manager and LJ were saying.
He is announcing it to his 234 million followers. If you're not one of his followers, it wasn't for you. Get out of your hateful feelings. Bye haters 👋🏾 .
I don't get the hate. You can hate Bron for losing in the Finals or losing in general but why do some people hate him for politics? Nobody hated Magic Johnson, Kareem, or Steph Curry when they endorsed the Democratic nominee. It's always Lebron who gets special hate. People hate on him for talking about Diddy parties but they don't mention Kobe and Shaq going to the same Diddy parties.😂😂 It's only because LeBron is wayyy more popular than those other guys. The bigger you are the more haters you're gonna get.
Sas made zero sense. This response is weak and unaccountable for the negative talk him and skip has been doing on tv for years making a fortune and gaining popularity. They have gained way more from the negativity than the players and how dare him not acknowledge that but mention the player gaining from it. Sas is the biggest hypocrite.
Sports comes with two things: love and hate. But when you make up stories, make things personal, and not discuss the sport at hand, THEN it becomes unbearable to listen to and watch
Many times SAS make things personal he like to call out names but then when they get back at him he suddenly becomes like as if he's the one being targeted. I remember when he said after someone respond to him "if you have problem with me call me or message me" like as if he is the only one who has the authority to call out names in public 😂
I don't agree with a lot of the comments here. I agree with SAS and Windy, you got a problem with the media. really, even though you were a part of it? No need to explain, just go.
Not the same bro kwame was a lottery pick bronny is a 55th pick that plays like a 55th pick he just happens to be lebron's son nobody drafted that low came into the league nba ready
To be fair, Bronny got annihilated because LeBron said he was better than most NBA players. Now everyone is highly disappointed and doesn’t know why he said that it was far from the truth. Bronny is horrible and he put a target on his own sons back for no reason.
All these guys do it. Remember when Shannon trashed Baker and Sam Darnold on Undisputed? Did he ever apologize to them after arriving on First take? Remember when Anthony Richardson got benched and Stephen A started about what if he doesn’t work hard or something else and Jeff had to check him saying that’s false so he doesn’t run with a false narrative. These tops guys know negativity sells which is why they do it. People don’t want to watch peace and love all day
Translation... LeBron, you fed negative stories to the press about certain players your entire career to form narratives. Don't try to complain now that your father/ son narrative isn't working like you thought it would.
Sounds like they’re mad that ppl have their own opinions about things. Truth is , everybody ain’t gon agree wit you all da time… jus gotta “agree to disagree” sometimes...
Absolutely love how LeBron saying “y’all media is too negative, I’m out” Just for SAS to to attack LeBron, call him a hypocrite, blame him for espn talking s*** on bronny by putting him in the spotlight (completely ignore the fact that plenty of players hype up their teammates/selves), while going on a rant about how LeBron is actually the problem. “I’m not a hater” says the person who is actively hating because they were implied to be a hater.
Lebron was joking when he mentioned the lying stuff. That was clear…you guys always open conversations based on weak foundations of misunderstanding. What are you even talking about? 😭 Are we sure he’s not tired of seeing negativity about his son?
True. Bron was only joking talking about praising Dalton Knecht. I understand the Bronny nepotism criticism but who could honestly care about any 55th pick? I understand that Bronny's salary might be too high for worth, but the amount of money LeBron has generated the NBA, they could pay his next 7 generations and they still couldn't pay him off.😂
@@uaushaiaosao9308I guess ESPN too they do like to highlight every little thing when lebron is involved even though it does not matter they would do it for views 😂
We can thank Skip and SAS for it. They were the founding fathers of "speak negatively and create agendas against certain players to get views and fame". But, Skip took it to another level. where any player he hates or dislikes, he was projecting his insecurities towards them. Lebron should be the last person to speak about negativity, his camp religiously made it a point to protect him from any blame or accountability by constantly blaming his teammates for his shortcomings.
I remember watching shows like "NBA Inside Stuff" and "NFL Films" that were positive and enjoyable. You don't need negativity to keep things interesting.
Stephen A is so out of touch with reality. Not one point he made here is valid. Screaming loud added literally 0 sense to any of it. The Starting 5 was negative? The JJ/LeBron pod was negative? How? Show me how it contributed to negative discourse? You can’t.
These brothas literally make more money than 95% of hard working Americans. Could be higher. And you can't take people saying "mean things about you". LAME !
@RobertFitts false! I'm for certain half the NBA can't be Soldiers, and or construction workers, and or nurses. These go through shit all day. Way worse than professional athletes.
@@RobertFitts this is factually incorrect especially for superstars . if it were a nobody role player that was out of the league within 3 years , then sure they could work a normal job . but the better they are , the more they feel entitled to make tens of millions of dollars from putting a ball in hole . the things we go thru as normal people these players will never understand , try cleaning sewers in the dead of summer and then talk to me
Everything about Stephen is always about money and he’s always so easily triggered. You can tell how caught in his feels he is by the octaves of his voice. LeBron didn’t even type enough words to warrant a rant that long.
Criticism needs to be in sports coverage, it can’t be a 24/7 glaze fest. The issue is they care more about hot takes and headlines rather than breaking down the game with insightful analysis. They only care about stars and ring culture not the ins and outs of these sports.
I can't picture myself being a multi millionaire or even a billionaire and caring about what people I don't even know thinks or says. I'm broke as hell and still could care less. More than likely if it's not a bot, it's someone thousands of miles away from you. I get we're all human and have "feelings" but come on.
Well, some of you who point out roles of SAS and Skip neglected to say the VIEWERS of those programs who MAKE them popular are equally to blame. Stop the capping
Every time SAS opens his mouth he exposes his deep seeded envy of pro athletes and his obsession with watching their pockets. It doesn’t matter what the topic is he ALWAYS finds a way to speak on other men’s money. Dude radiates envy like the sun radiates light
I think SAS sees basketball as worthy of proper criticism and analysis. First take is basically a review show, where they review the performances of the teams, players and coaches. A reviewer can't always give 10/10 or 9/10 reviews. Sometimes you have to give the 1/10 or 2/10 review. LBJ & JJ on the other hand was more of a discussion and analysis podcast.
The lack of self awareness in this video is amazing.
SAS whole speech. He doesn't want to be better
There's no lack of self awareness, he's 100% right. The lack of historical context today by fans and players is worse than the media coverage.

You mean the negativity that ESPN and First Take stirred up in the first place?
Cook
Exactly. ESPN can push any narrative that they want to. They know controversies and negativity sells so they going push whatever narrative that will bring viewers to the channel. ESPN became a gossip channel and said we don’t really care about the Sports coverage.
Sas and Skip are the FATHERS of current SPORTS NEGATIVITY. Now he gets upset when people calling him and ESPN and the likes out for it.
It’s what their platform thrives on 😅
