Stephen A killed this interview.
Yea he did!!
you know every man by their fruit
Yo fam I’m a small content creator, and I make a variety of entertaining reactions, vlogs, and a range of other content and I’m still working on quality but I guarantee you will find something you will enjoy!🏀🏀🏀
FACTS!
Right
“Stop being mad at my words pay attention to what I’m saying” - Stephen A. 💯💯💯 we all need that when someone is trying to tell us something to help even if it’s not so pleasing to hear but you got to hear it. GREAT SHOW 🔥
THIS! ALL THIS! So many folks always listen to Stephen A to respond or criticize without actually listening to what he got to say
That's old school. The message, not the way it landed.
.
According to Skip Bayless is recollection isn't
Sounded like Charleston White
SAS showed why he’s the best in the business here. He spoke facts and made his points heard. Sometimes athletes get in their feelings cause how he says something instead of what he says.
Best in the business?
One thing about him, he stands on what he said. Whether you like it or hate it, he backs it up. This was a great interview.
Hi
@@deandremh Sir!!
😳WTF!🤬...THE WHITE MAN MADE HIM APOLOGIZE SO MANY TIMES ON HIS SHOW!🤣🤣🤣
@@firesign4297 Thank you. SA is one of thee single biggest coons on TV
@@royhollins4232 when?
They have respect for Stephen A. He Controlled the tempo of the interview. It was nice change of pace for this show. Stephen A is the truth. I'm with him all day.
Pacman was good by keeping Brandon from jumping from subject to subject while stephen was in middle of answering it. Brandon is terrible with topics
Lol Brandon so annoying keep cutting him off
Yea they need a moderator like the amount of yelling over each other does not sound professional. Sounds like they in an alley in the hood of Baltimore
Lol he’s the truth how?
Yeah yeah everything ran smoothly but you can't tell me Steven A isn't a snake. He knows exactly what he's doing and the narratives he's pushing.
I have a whole new respect for Stephen a after watching this interview! Seeing him in a more raw form being interviewed by these type of media people gave me a different Outlook of his profession and perspective. That's what's up! I now have nothing but respect for this brother and I can now watch him on other media outlets and better understand his point of view and where he's coming from!
Thank y’all for raising awareness for mental health. I have been in a situation where I no longer wanted to be in this world. With the grace of God I’m still here and very fortunate to be. What seemed like the end of the world at the time , in reality wasn’t the end. Sometimes a switch can flip and there is no stopping those thoughts that can turn into actions. It’s very important to have people that you can talk to comfortably. God Bless
Stay focused on positivity brother! You mean a lot to someone close to you. Continue to pray, especially on your best days! God bless!
GOD bless u keep ur head high & never give up

God bless you brother
Thank you all for the love. God Bless
I’m so happy you guys got Stephen A on this show. I’ve watched him for years, loving his content & then i stopped because I started feeling an ill way towards him because of various topics y’all discussed. Long story short..I understand where the man is coming from now & I thank you all for this.
Love hate relationship because he sellout, I understand what you saying.
Stephen a make a excuse make since
Cause he walk back half his takes
This was one of them one’s 💰💰🔥🔥💪🏾
Same
This is the epitome of someone that’s great at their craft. This dude Stephen A exudes confidence. Inspired to be the best at my craft just like em. Salute 🫡 💯👊🏽
When u talk about players and teams and what u speak about u know!
watched the whole thing start to finish. amazing. Stephen A is magnetic, respectful, knowledgable and to quote a certain TV personality, he's "box office." All credit to the athletes on this platform because without them, there is no drama, no theater, no stories to wax poetic upon. Stephen A is the best at what he does, but without the athletes, there's no narrative at all.
Found a new sense of respect for Stephen A he answered every question thrown at him , he didn’t run from them even if you don’t agree with him you must respect him
Kwame Brown had most of these niggas brainwashed against Stephen A
Yo fam I’m a small content creator, and I make a variety of entertaining reactions, vlogs, and a range of other content and I’m still working on quality but I guarantee you will find something you will enjoy!🏀🏀🏀
Facts
It’s obvious the “Kwame Brown” discussion was off-limits for this interview…but all in all a good show
Stephen A Smith sir you are definitely a legend. Thanks for your hard work.
The absolute best interview I have ever seen in my life!! Bar none.
Second, best would be Kobe.
Steven A. My respect for you had grown 10 fold even though you get on my nerves sometimes, but this interview has shown me a side of you that is more authentic than I originally thought. Thanks for coming on the show. Brandon you have a great mind, I don't know if you use a script but you ask the questions we would like to ask. Please keep up the good work, love love the show, wish I had more time to watch, thanks for creating and little sanity is this crazy world. God bless you and your families.
im not a big Stephen guy but you cant deny his influence and how big of a figure he is in the sports world
He literally dropped so many gems in this interview! Like wow!
I grew up as a young kid watching the Late Great Stuart Scott on ESPN and he was by far the Best Sports Analyst on Television and I used to wake up early in the morning and looked forward to seeing him on television and the Fact that Stephen A Smith gave Stuart Scott his Flowers as one of the pioneers who paved the way for him says A LOT. Kudos to Stephen A for that. Rest in Power Stuart Scott. 🙏🏾
I love what Stephen A. said about Stuart Scott.
Yea that was so dope that he gave Stuart his flowers and acknowledge how he paved the way for him and others. I respect SAS even more than I already did.

Steven A Talks Facts and Truth thats why hes one of the best ever at what he does. Salute to the OG!

This podcast really got y'all confused. He's an entertainer. Nothing he says is facts or true.
@@ajkareem5685 Exactly. He showed it with his comments. He is a entertainer. That is it. Makes no sense to look at him as a reporter because he showed you that he isn’t. He explicitly said he isn’t with his KD comments.
If he was a reporter, it wouldn’t have matter if KD played in Houston, Atlanta, Connecticut or wherever, as a reporter?? He would’ve been told to just report the game and that is it.
Around brother's he talks real on espn around his Jewish masters it's ECW no holds bar
@@kareemabdulwahhab6919 you do know that he is not a reporter now. He's a commentator. He was a reporter when he was in Philly.
Stephen A. Smith is one of the best in the business. He's smart, entertaining and opinionated. I may not agree with everything he says, but I highly respect his accomplishments. Great interview with great questions asked.
A critique is when he does not own up to whe ln he was wrong .. especially when he steps out of his lane … like going after athletes over not getting the vaccine or when he doesn’t investigate before jumping on “race” haters only because of his own confirmation bias
@@jonathanruiz7877 It is what it is.
@@KD_SWAGGER as long as it is recognized … lol…
@@KD_SWAGGER I don’t have the platform but as long as it is recognized … lol
He is responsible for destroying young sports minds like yours for over a quarter century now.
SAS showed up and showed out… he always brings logic with everything he speaks about.. this was a dope podcast
What? Logic? This was very impressive for him, but no he's overall pathetic at his job title, but he is a great entertainer.
The reason why I like this show is because it's a real conversation, no filter. You're not putting on a presentation for the public. Big props. Also, what lenses and cameras you're using because the composition for these shots are on point. If I had to guess, I'd say probably 85mm on a 2.8/3.0f. Shots looking so clean.
they got some NFL films ppl in there so you already know lol
Shady, Pac and B perfect balance. How pac asked marshal to hold on let Steven A explain how him and Skip came together first before sidetrack was perfect. The mutual respect. Makes the show flow flawlessly.
New media need 2 get ALL their facts str8 b4 they speak on issues they kno nothing abt!!
GO COWBOYS...
@@angelmarshall424 example of how this relates to my comment?
I could of listened for another hour, a awesome interview, much respect to Stephen A. Smith.
Yall really going crazy on Stephen A. He's a good dude and it's not personal just go to work and stay healthy. The best ability is availability.
They don’t understand bro he’s kicked some real shit especially about the kd thing
Naw they getting in his ass a little just to show that the players have the right to ask for a trade. In nba players have the right to ask just the owners have the right sas telling players yeah you do but you don’t and that’s crazy sounds like he buck dancing a little
@CalerieValcin1981 how? You gotta do way better.
@@k-way8471 yeah, they have the right to ask for a trade, but there is a difference between asking for one and demanding one though. Like I know they were mostly focusing on KD (who did sign a new multi-year contract just a year ago) asking for a trade, but the best recent example, imo, is James Harden and how he forced his way out of Houston. I get wanting to get out of a place and find a better work environment, however, I also get honoring a contract to do the best I’m being paid to do, even if the situation isn’t what I originally signed up for. To me it just means I need to sign shorter contracts so I can always re-evaluate (like Lebron does). Yeah, it can mean less money and long term security, but if I’m doing my job both of those will always be there in the end.
@@patriotsfan122480 when you are good as they is they are private contractors 🤷🏿♂️
Adam Jones is growing into a really good sports analyst. Salute sir.
Facts!
He asked the best questions the whole interview Brandon butts in & ask irrelevant stuff 😂
It's sad pac man couldn't just control himself I've always liked him. One of the most talented corners I've ever seen. It's really nice to see him excelling in a way he seems alot happier
Agreed
No lie hands down this is the best interview on the show period gotta respect Stephen A frfr a real dude
Hopefully you guys can get Josh Gordon on the show. I want to hear from him he has a great story.
I'll tune in for that one
Why would I want to hear from a guy who chose to smoke weed instead of making millions?
Josh a clown
@@GBamaBoy yeah I’m good on that
Yeah I hope so too
The moment Stephen A. asked PacMan about taking the vaccine if it Chip was on the line was priceless! Loved That pacman was honest and was like “hell yeah”
He a clown for tht..folded quick
Niggas would sellout in a heart beat for a chip I respect those who have dignity
@@dceltics2461 facts people really don’t be standing on morals fr
“I meant every damn word I said about Kyrie Irving”😂😂

That episode was crazy! Stephen A did his thing!
I like seeing Stephen A. Smith speak on other platforms outside of ESPN because he comes off as more authentic as to when he's on ESPN reading a teleprompter. Not saying he's fake on ESPN but he's not restricted by censorship and doesn't have to worry about getting suspended if he says the wrong thing.
Incorrect let him say the wrong thing on these podcast but he’s out
Stephen a Smith has been the voice of sports my whole life,he will go down as one of the greatest modern media broadcaster of our time
Yo fam I’m a small content creator, and I make a variety of entertaining reactions, vlogs, and a range of other content and I’m still working on quality but I guarantee you will find something you will enjoy!🏀🏀🏀
Stu Scott too! 🐐
Top sports media but you can’t say he’s too media all around
Stephen A talks for a living and he is very good at it. Aced the interview 🔥
BMarsh I’ve been rockin with you since the beginning with the Broncos. I got diagnosed with borderline personality disorder around the same time he did. He’s been someone I’ve always looked up to to be successful because he knows how I feel when I do something impulsive he knows why. It’s always better having someone that is struggling with what you have to speak and be about it in a place of high visibility is so important to me. With that said if you end up fighting T.O. I wanna fight Andrew Tate on your undercard man.
One of the best interviews ever....they came for him too and he slaughtered the questions!
💯💯💯
Top 5 IAA special guest. This was super dope and much in this needed to be addressed and SAS didn’t back down. Loved this episode from front to back.
Y’all can say what y’all want I fw Stephen A. He helds the players accountable n is real about it
Shoutout to IAA. Keep grinding. I really want a Justin Jefferson and/or Dalvin Cook interview.
Justin was already there
Yeah I’d love to see my boy Dalvin on here.
@@peaceandblessings9596 I can’t find it. Did he come with another guest?
@@S.T-Money they deleted it bc of the old host. U missed out it was amazing
@@S.T-Money Yes, he was with DK about two years ago.
Stephen A has a good stance on everything they throw his way. Newfound respect

Brandon is sooooo much better doing this than he was on First Things First. I didn't enjoy watching him on FS1 but here ITS SO MUCH BETTER. He's being authentic to him and truly gets the best out of his guests. His chemistry with SAS, Pacman and McCoy was all time. Loved this interview!
One of their better shows. They actually sat back and let Stephen A. Smith speak w/o getting into to much arguing and back and forth banter
IAA great interview. Y’all getting back on track. Keep up the good work and improving. I’m rooting for you B Marsh 💯💯🔥
Once everybody let their guest lead the episode became fire. Stephen A Smith is such a great speaker.
I wish SAS could be this real on ESPN. ESPN needs to give him his own channel. Where he can have the real conversations. That's what makes 'New Media' special.
He tried that. He had a night time talk show "Quite Frankly" and it bombed.
@@SupaNatural28 it was before it’s time Quite Frankly is a pioneer of all these podcasts
He should have his own podcast similar to this one where he has real conversations with athletes
@@QUHectic212 quite frankly was a late night talk show ESPN was trying its hand at late night talk shows because TBS signed Conan O Brien after the NBC goof up. TBS brought the late night talk show concept to Premium cable (1st of its kind). ESPN tried with SAS and it didnt work. Quite Frankly didn't pioneer anything.
I'm glad he did this. I already knew without meeting Stephen A that he was a real one. That he comes from the right place. So hopefully people stop hating on what he's saying. Disagree all day but appreciate the honesty and the place he's coming from
Stephen A needs a late night HBO show. GOAT for real
Best show they have had in a while. Good job iaa
Yo fam I’m a small content creator, and I make a variety of entertaining reactions, vlogs, and a range of other content and I’m still working on quality but I guarantee you will find something you will enjoy!🏀🏀🏀
Best episode ever with a master of his craft who dominates in his field. Stephen A. Smith schooled everyone on the show on how real journalistic media is supposed to be done. THEY LEARNED TODAY!
Pac-Man is a national treasure and he sees through all the bullshit. Bless him and his family!
His family?
@@deepaknijjer66 yes. May the lord bless pac’s fam. What’s confusing about that?
I honestly didn't care for him at first but you're right... He's one of those ppl that has a bs detector 😂
Pacman is bullshit
facts! smith can be hard headed and use the media power as an influence to per sway others. For example, Kyrie did NO WRONG. He used his power and voice to make him look like the issue when it was POLITICS ...CONTROL AND COMPLY
Smith is One of my favorite broadcasters of all time. A true GOAT in the making.
What I love about podcast is that we get to see and hear different sides from celebrities and get behind the scene things we didn’t know about and it gives us a whole new respect for them
Shout out to Pacman for doing his best to keep Brandon in Line and on track. Brandon still needs to work on letting ppl finish their thoughts/sentences. Lol
THIS!!!!
I can’t even get through this with all the over-talking
Man!! He’s annoying lol
Annoying af

This is legendary because yall actually let him get to the bottom line. In segments he has to do his job. I always understood him even though sometimes it took time or a life experience to see the importance of being truthful. Without sensitivity.
The only problem I have is : that most of the players he named load mange’s not just kawhi . Dude has issues with his knee prior to the acl tear . So he was doing the best he could to keep it from getting injury unfortunately he still got hurt . Dude was hurt in his 2019 title run . But played through it . Kawhi had only been gone for one full year . He had an Surgey in July 2021 it’s only September 2022. 14 months he’s not playing because the season doesn’t start until the end of next month . Soo.. stop the cap
WITH ALL DUE RESPECT STEPHEN A AINT MISS THIS WHOLE EPISODE. HE DEF CAME READY
Stephen A carefully was able to provide points and facts on everything they discussed and stand on things he said. They couldn’t get nothing on this cat. That’s why he is a Legend !

The more I listen to SAS do these interviews the more I like and respect him.
PS from a diehard Cowboys fan
Fellow Cowboys fan here too and I agree completely.
Just gained some respect for Stephen A . I think ESPN put a muzzle on him . This the best Stephen A I’ve seen . He needs to break away he not able to go crazy like he want on ESPN . And I say muzzle because Stephen A is a beast. Definitely one of the best.
This version of SAS is the version we need to see more. He was spot on in this interview
This is definitely one of my passions love you guys to eternal gain . My son struggles with mental health I pray his strength daily . Men are taught in our community not to seek help also sometimes bad choices prevent services and the access to them I pray for each and every make daily who struggles with mental health issues in our community. It’s ok to seek help and I pray services be made adequately available to each and every one of you 🥰❤️🙏🏽
Not one person had bill Russell on the Mount Rushmore until he passed away, now everyone givin him his flowers when he shoulda been there from jump
You can have a player outside the top 4 and still respect him though
Agreed

How can you hate Stephen A. Dude is real & humble frfr💯👌🏾
I can hate him because he's a pawn. He blamed a BYU fan for calling a Duke player the N-word. It didn't matter if the claim was true of false. Steven A basically told America that BYU was racist.
You can hate him if you're a Cowboys fan. 🤣 🤣 🤣
It’s all business never personal. You gotta understand that in order to understand Stephen A.
@brandon Marshall I absolutely have the upmost respect for you to speak out on mental health. The message coming from someone of your stature is what everybody needs to hear. Cause at the end of the day we all are human. After watching this video I myself feel better bout seeking help. Salute 💯 💪🏾
This put a whole new perspective on who SA is as a person. Very intelligent and genuine individual.
I'm with Stephan a. What Bron did was way different then kd. Kd went to a team that just beat him and won the most games in history that had 3 other hofers in they prime on it him making it the 4th. Everyone knew they were gonna win for the next 5 years if kd stayed
No it’s not different.
@@kareemabdulwahhab6919 yes it is clown 🤡 smh y’all haters are clowns 🤡
@@kareemabdulwahhab6919 yes it is different very different nobody on MIAMI WON BACK TO BACK MVPS @ the TIME MIAMI AINT JUST BEAT LEBRON TEAM LIKE HOW GSW DID OKC ,73-9 LET MIAMI WOULD OF BEEN THT AND LEBRON WENT THE MEDIA WOULD OF WENT CRAZY
It’s different but Lebron’s intent was to create what KD & the warriors created
It is different LeBron recruited Bosh. Convinced Wade to stay because Wade admitted he was going to Chicago with Rose. Bron had a league wide free agent meeting. Warriors went after KD and sold him on what they had and how he fit. Both made moves they’re well within their right to do. One recruited players and the other was recruited
Love how he kept shutting PAC up with the facts lol especially with the Championship scenario
Much respect for Pacman! He lives in my area and takes pictures with anyone who ask from what I see. I go thru my time line and see him3 or 4 times. U definitely know when he's in town.
Man I can listen to SAS all day!! He give it you straight forward with no icing!! People just can’t take it, especially because the way he sais it!
Stephen A really a legend. Master at what he does

Very good, insightful, and fun convo between all of you. I’m not in the sports world, but I can take away and relate to a lot from everything you all talked about. Kudos, and keep up the great work!
Steven A explains his reasons so perfectly where there is no misunderstanding. Props to him. I use to get annoyed by him but I appreciate how he gets on people getting in their own way regardless of their skin color.
Man Stephan A. is polarizing. His energy. His presence. He has the it factor.
SAS is a legend he gives alot of game to players on how to conduct themselves and go about dealing with the media.
That was a great episode!!! Definitely a classic!
Didn't know this side of Stephen A. Much respect your clarity, honest, facts and standing on his words is RESPECT. Wether you agree or disagree.
I like the behind the scenes interview with SA. He gives you his authentic opinion on all topics. Although, the players have some gripe with his opinion but by SA being honest for the most part they will respect where he's coming from. 👌🏾
I thought I was alone. I almost killed myself, I was raised wrong. Then lost my parents. Kept bumping my head. Hell still doing it. But slowly learning I knew nothing and trying to make a life for me and my own little family. I still feel lost or as if I'll never make it. Or be allowed to make it. I feel like how I look and who I am. Gives them even more reason's to keep me down or push me down. As if they have a right. Or as if I can't get a chance to live a good life. If I'm working or trying hard to have it. I pray one day someone will see this. Brandon Marshall kobe Bryant. Ppl I looked up to have some of the same issues as I did. Closest thing I had to a role model was kobe and watching you now Brandon instead of football. I pray 🙏 1 day I can get some help from ppl who may understand me. B.c the world don't. They Try putting me on medication and make me feel like I'm a zombie. Please help me fix what is broken inside. I fight and walk and keep going. For the ones I love but I wish the world would help me like they would help the person next door who may look the part.
Stephen A ripped this interview. Idk why people call him a sell out. It’s just stupid
So we never gonna address the lyrics of “I just keep airing it out like I just passed gas” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🙏🏾
lol such a horrible bar. If a rapper uses a "I'm the shit ____ or fart" bar in 2022, he isn't that good.
I had that damn line so much 😭
Worst bar of all time lmao
That’s the best part of the song 😂
I always wanted to know who is rapping? And yes that line is the the worst
Thumbnail says it all Stephen A is definitely one of the best to ever to it

Rip the great Stuart Scott! I grew up watching him. His is missed.

It was hard for them to argue with S.A.’s point.
This was an excellent interview! It was good for SA image, While also being a good show for Brandon Marshall! Great job fellas!
This is why I never understood why some black people would call Stephen A. an "Uncle Tom" or a sellout. People that say that about him obviously don't watch First Take on a consistent basis. From his "Quite Frankly" days until now, Stephen A. has OBJECTIVELY spoken in defense of not only black athletes, but black people in general. Furthermore, I respect him because he is fair and objective. He gets a lot of pressure from black folks to be a certain way, talk a certain way, and to have a certain perspective on his platform because they do see the power and influence that he has. Despite that pressure, he still goes on air and gives his opinion from a place of authenticity and objectiveness. His desire for black people to rise and win will not stop him from calling black people out when he feels like they're in the wrong on something. I don't agree with his delivery on things sometimes, but this dude is measured, honest, authentic, caring, responsible, talented, intelligent, relatable, trustworthy, and empathetic (to a certain extent). Last thing, one thing that doesn't really get talked about is the fact that he often seems to know a little more on a situation than what he is reporting. It's the stuff that he doesn't share on air that should let you know that that's another way of him looking out for people. If it doesn't have to do with your sport life, or you tell him that something is off the record, then you can trust that that information will remain private. He is the opposite of a sellout. He is the opposite of an Uncle Tom.
One of the few episodes that have been fire since the 2 real OG's pivoted off the show.

22.32 Look at how PacMan start smiling. Steph made his day, Pac that dude, love his growth, love to see he doing well, and still rising after the BS that came his way. He smarter than ppl think.
This was an amazing interview all around!💪🏿🔥💯Watched the entire thing. I think this the first time I heard about "I Am Athlete". The 3 gentlemen did a great job with their questions and perspective and Stephen A did what he does best! He analyzed, spoke facts and did it from his heart with confidence!👏🏿👏🏿💯
Stephen A. ALWAYS gives content AND character to interviews. He is WHO he is and there is absolutely no other.....bring him and Skip back!
Steven A was PREACHING
This was great, love hearing this side of Stephen A. I feel a lot different towards him knowing his perspective.
I grew up with SAS!!! This is hands down the best interview EVER!!!!!! I haven't followed football since the early 2000s....I will look up these 3 young men and see who they are!!! Thank you for a very entertaining Interview..
