Of course I’m not talking about like it’s torn out or it’s torn meniscus or broken anything those are the real injuries but I know he’s managing when he fully comes back and then able to play because he could play on Wednesday but somehow now play Friday and he had a perfect game
How? He apologized for saying what he said while Paul was Present on the show but let it be known that what he was saying to Paul was Factual The apology was for Paul not for Kawhi bc what he said about Kawhi and him not being there in the Postseason is absolutely true lmao
@@falbasu And you guys should clean your ears or watch the whole thing... Bro said he doesnt care if Kawhi misses the whole regular season he just wants to see him come playoffs time which is fair. Kawhi does take the money to do less than A LOT of subpar players.. Especially at the end of the season, showing us how much the refs, nurse, pop and lowry have carried him. Most made up star ever.
Stephen A been doing a lot of apologizing recently and to add insult to injury, they be half apology and half trash talk LMAO 😂😂😂 He be tryna apologize while also emphasizing that he didnt lose the debate 💀💀💀
@@jazdavies2407 How is he jealous when SAS gets paid millions by ESPN. And he ain't pocket watching when he's always encouraging black athletes to get paid! You got it wrong bro
I get both sides but SAS didn't need to apologize. Kwahi "Next Yr" Leonard has missed too much time it's really that simple. No other profession in the world would allow this! NONE! It's not right to the paying customer and we won't tolerate it for much longer. SAS keep holding them to account.
@@KetreyalBibbins-vx1tebro he sat out a whole year before when he wasn’t injured what are you talking about? He’s been missing the playoffs every year since he’s won it back in 19 it’s 24 now 5 years of missing the playoffs. Ain’t no excuse for that.
@@hanspatmpouma1183 he will fry both of you with his eyes closed , maybe at the same time , watch your mouth, u dont tell plumber or driver how to do his job dont you?
@@hiramclarkebeats4295 l get what you are saying but PG answers give me vibes of a lack of confidence. And the reason is clearly his inconsistent performances in the playoffs. Is it fair for me to say that? And l ain't comparing myself to PG
i don't think pg has an issue with how stephen a feels about kawhi, it's the fact that he even needs to keep bringing it up in situations he really doesn't need to. stephen turns these digs into catch phrases and branding. the sas brand shouldn't have to always include taking shots at players, no matter how factual. especially at events like the finals pregame shows.. inflammatory remarks about people aren't light hearted just cause you giggle after you say it.
In that industry it’s rare to do this , but all in all . I think it’s good for the sports media because they really need these guys. Not the other way around !
I think you’re not hearing what he’s saying, I believe he’s saying he wants to play winning basketball rather than just join a stacked team…That’s what I took away.
SAS speaks in the moment for a living. Literally everyone who speaks in the moment says dumb stuff often. Most won’t acknowledge or apologize. When a man does it shows class to our younger generation. It shows to say what you wanna say in the moment but be prepared for any consequences whether in the moment or you have to sit on it and come to a realization. Either way SAS is a class act and should be admired. Keep this man safe
If I'm PG, if I'm one of the 8 people who still wants to like in LA, or California, I'm signing as long a deal as I can with the Clippers! Ballmer has ALL the money, they couldn't have a more new, more special arena, and there's zero pressure! The Lakers get the title expectations, especially if they get Trae Young. Nobody has, or ever will, expect the Clippers to win a title! I don't even think Ballmer cares, he just loves basketball!
Man apologized partially then doubled down on everything else. That’s the opposite of letting it go, bro!! That trade was years ago. Neither player is even on those original contracts anymore. Just let it go!!
Very savvy.. Giving a legitimate apology to P. Which was a classy move, while standing by what he said. Nobody can accuse Stephen A. Smith of flip flopping.. I appreciate the realness.
At the end of the day KAWHI LEONARD going to be a future hall of famer he do have achievements just look it up. Probably would have a lot more if his injuries not Robbing his career
KW needs to retire if he can't give 100%. I appreciate trying to play, but if you're not healthy, maybe he should retire and preserve his body for life after the NBA.
Love the show Stephen A. We all have families. 15 years from now no one will care whether PG has a championship or not. PG is old and injury prone. Get your money PG 💰💰
If you have to keep apologizing to PPL, Think its Time ya looked in Mirror and consider moving different cuz it's you Not everyone else. Evolve man cuz your close to turning into a punchline. Already famous and rich so stop creating stupid drama, don't have to
Bruh it’s disgrace hearing Paul George talk it doesn’t even sound like he even wants to win a championship there’s too many players in the nba right now that are better than him as of right now
I just believe he's at a place where he wants to win a championship and wants to do it somewhere where the team is playing the right type of basketball that he wants to play and be the best player he can be. Simple.
This just like when Chandler Parsons lost his knee and everybody was taking a shit on him because he got payed .The guy would play if he could but the injuries killed him.Kawhi is a weird case because he has a chronic condition and is playing by force and that leads to injury.
Kevin Durant said something similar. When he went to GS, he said playing the right style of basketball is more important than winning a chip. I believe he said that to take the pressure off himself, yet you had clowns like Skip Baseless saying what Kevin did in GS, beating LeBron, was the greatest pressure Kevin had to overcome to become a champion, which helped create his narrative that Kevin had surpassed Lebron as the best player in the NBA.
The comment of PG13 of playing the right brand of basketball meaning Is him or Harden, Kobe AND lot of players think James Harden style of play Is not winning basketball
I hate that Forehead A. Smith gets to bash a player for no reason that being that Kawhi is legitimately injured. Ask Brandon Roy & Penny & D Rose it’s hard to play with bad knees. Sherman A Smith gets on a big platform bashes players then apologizes after??? Come on Son stick to your guns or don’t open your mouth ish is annoying
This dude makes an apology every other week. This is what happens when a dude beats his chest like he the man and the second somebody calls him out he reverts to his natural state and knows his place and submits and apologizes. Anytime a talent on First Take makes him look dumb on television he has them removed from the show. Like max Kellerman and JJ Reddick.
The best ability is availability and Kawhi Leonard is not available. Does that mean he is lazy or faking , no not at all . He is too fragile for the NBA . Incredibly talented , but this had been going on for years. Stepen A has legitimately criticized this about Leonard . I think he is right in that criticism. Leonard doesnt give a discount for not being available. He wants the money of someone playing all the time. Stephen A likes to claim he is a sports reporter, but I see too much evidence that he wants to be a pal of the people he is covering . Stephen A , who I really enjoy . Is not helping his credibility when he apologizes for points he is actually correct about .
Paul George legit didn’t mention anything about being put in an uncomfortable situation. He said YOU NEED TO LET IT GO. I use to like SAS before he started whoring on headlines and narrative manipulation
So a lot of great players get criticised for chasing a championship and he's saying that he puts playing in the right way according to him. We should encourage players that want to win the right way instead of taking a massive pay cut and reduced playing time just to win it. We live players like Reggie Miller that did his all to win it with the Pacers instead of jumping teams and let's say join the Lakers at the time like for instance Mitch Richmond or Gary Payton.
Steven Apology Smith
This shit crazy
He's been doing a lot of apologizing lately.
😂😂🤣
Exactly!! Always apologizing shows he’s such a liar
You put him in a bad spot ? Dude, you’re a lying A 🕳️
This guy has to make someone an apology like every other day lmao 😂.. it’s ridiculous
Facts every other day meaning he’s ignorant in real time or a coward that can’t stand on what he said
You ain't ever lied
What has happened to sports these days!?
💯
Of course I’m not talking about like it’s torn out or it’s torn meniscus or broken anything those are the real injuries but I know he’s managing when he fully comes back and then able to play because he could play on Wednesday but somehow now play Friday and he had a perfect game
That was a back handed apology
How? He apologized for saying what he said while Paul was Present on the show but let it be known that what he was saying to Paul was Factual
The apology was for Paul not for Kawhi bc what he said about Kawhi and him not being there in the Postseason is absolutely true lmao
Now apologize to us for this audio
Underrated Comment.
You're saying he's never available at the same time you're saying you know he's injured.
Dude’s not consistent with his takes 😂
Sooooo if Kawhi is injured, is he available or not? Injured = not available. It's the same thing.
@@takuanfuanit’s literally the same thing they’re athlete worshippers so they get down on their knees for these athletes
True and his main issue seems like that Kawhi getting paid.

Brings me back to them no cable days 😂😂 trying to find a Channel to watch type shit
Thought I was tripping
@@Teeclutch Yeah yk S.A be loud asl im like why he sound so low😹
I really thought it was my phone
This dude is apologizing every week about something... 😂😂😂
leave Kawhi alone he didn't do anything to you
Kawhi should retire
He did. He got paid, by the money we offered to the game. Just like taxpayers can criticize the government
@@tommytexter4054wtf he’s injured. Did he kill Derrick Rose for blowing out his knee?
@@johnnycash8567totally different kawhi maybe injured now but he’s been load mama him since San Antonio pop taught him well
He hasn’t done nothing in the playoffs since 19 too
I respect the fact that he acknowledged the position he put PG in and apologized,alot of people in the media would not have admitted they were wrong
Play hard. Train hard. Give it your all. If you don’t win a ring, fine. But, get all of the money that you can.
the right mindset
I get both sides but SAS didn't need to apologize. Kwahi "Next Yr" Leonard has missed too much time it's really that simple. No other profession in the world would allow this! NONE! It's not right to the paying customer and we won't tolerate it for much longer. SAS keep holding them to account.

he literally said what kd said when he went to golden state, wanting to play a good style of basketball
It's a shame because PG has the skill and the physical gifts to be one of the best ever.
They criticize for ring chasing and they criticize you for not ring chasing.
Man facts I’m like what the hell? Now if PG go join the Nuggets or Celtics he gonna cry about him making a super team smh
I thought sports were all about winning the highest accolades?
Apologize for that mic.
bruh
Does SAS ever stand on bidness?? Guy back tracks more than a guy driving in reverse ⏪ 😅😅
i don't think pg has an issue with how stephen a feels about kawhi, it's the fact that he even needs to keep bringing it up in situations he really doesn't need to. stephen turns these digs into catch phrases and branding. the sas brand shouldn't have to always include taking shots at players, no matter how factual. especially at events like the finals pregame shows.. inflammatory remarks about people aren't light hearted just cause you giggle after you say it.
PG please go New York bro..
He’ll no.
They have OG they don't need pg
Steven I'm so sorry Smith. Agree with Stephen A thought. Wasn't the right time but Kawhi has been fleecing the Clippers
Kwahi needs to retire then. If he can’t play a whole season why you sign an extension?!?! Don’t apologize for speaking truth!
Why wouldn't he? If he's injured then it's within his interest to keep signing the contracts that are offered.
Lol he gonna be Injured again
miss out on money
Is it me or does SAS still sound funny using profanity 😂😂
I want Paul George and klay Thompson to join Luka and Kyrie in Dallas 🍾🥷🏾
Bruh this social media crap is a blessing and a curse
In that industry it’s rare to do this , but all in all . I think it’s good for the sports media because they really need these guys. Not the other way around !
Someone at your level publicly apologizing when youre in the wrong, its mighty big of you, your mama raised you well
It’s not a real apology. It’s just a headline.
@DecaturQue it's a apology. Simple as that
@@DecaturQue PG: stop shitting on my teammate.
SAS: my bad, shoulda waited until you were gone to continue shitting on your boy on national tv
Kawhi is always available and healthy when it’s time to do enough when it’s time to negotiate a new deal
Playing the right way sounds like golden state wit there Unselfish offense pg13 x steph 🏆
I love wiggs, and think he can still get right for a whole season, but man PG would slot into his position seamlessly and be a legitimate 2nd option.
Yo PG wit Steph is crazy work off the ball action and lobs
No dont apologize!!!! Mr sensitive has to take it! Paul George needs to retire period!
I think you’re not hearing what he’s saying, I believe he’s saying he wants to play winning basketball rather than just join a stacked team…That’s what I took away.
Translation: I'm playing ball for the money, forget the ring
Dont speak without thinking Sas
That's his problem. React first, thinks over it later smh.
If he leaves the clippers the clippers are down bad
Nope they can sign and trade him
@@JHPG5plz do i want Jimmy Butler so bad
Bro chasing that bag 💰 he sounds like Carmelo when he had a chance to go to the bulls but decided to play for New York for the money
Come to the Mavs PG we would love you here dawg !!!
Yeah mavs really need him
“i meant that shit 💅 “
Unc done got PG mad over Kawhi being injured every postseason 😭😭
It’s gone take for these players to start embarrassing you live with there rebuttals, cause your apologies are the worse. LET IT GOOOO

PG is not the brightest crayon in the box
WE DONT NEED ALL THAT😂😂😂😂
No apologies to PG13%
He's always apologizing
I'm glad at least he does apologize.
Very savvy.. Giving a legitimate apology to P. Which was a classy move, while standing by what he said. Nobody can accuse Stephen A. Smith of flip flopping.. I appreciate the realness.
He couldn’t just apologize and keep it pushing
You say he took those perks and money as if he was planning on getting injured.
At the end of the day KAWHI

STEPHEN A SMITH NEEDS TO APOLOGIZE TO JIM TROTTER
For what
@@vas06010 MIKE FREEMAN FROM" USA TODAY " WROTE AN ARTICLE " STEPHEN A SMITH'S TREATMENT OF JIM TROTTER WAS ATROCIOUS " THAT CAN TELL YOU
Stephen A Smith is right about he should’ve put PG13 on the spot. But truly ment what he said about kawhi
Telling a another grown man what to do is diabolical
Apology tour continues.
It was definitely a backhanded apology, but as a Clippers fan I can't even disagree with bro
Telling a grown man what they should want is crazy
Wassup with the Audio????
I don’t think SAS understands what he meant by “chase”, like, at all
Now apologize to Kawhi, Kyrie, Jaylen Brown,etc.
I’m glad you apologized. You put Paul in a very bad spot and that wasn’t cool.
Chasing moving city to city does not mean you are going to Win. I am not going to city to city when you are comfortable in the city you live in
PG: stop shitting on my teammate.
SAS: my bad, shoulda waited until you were gone to continue shitting on your boy on national tv
He needs to be apologizing to Kawhi
Pg made Tatum and Brown get one before him and let Luka reach the finals before him , he way better player when healthy than how he is now on Clippers
He says the craziest stuff with such passion just to turn around and apologize 🙄😴
"I apologize but..."

I havent watched the pod since kyrie apology, damn SAS you always apologizing!
STAND ON BIDNESS NICCA!

100%😂
Talk about if you want to see another Haney and Garcia fight?! I want your opinion on that
Stephen a keeps digging himself a bigger hole with all athletes
He apologized just to go on a tangent and further tear down the brotha
Let's be honest, he hasn't been the same player since he snapped his leg , I don't care about his season in OKC as a runner up for MVP
“I was kinda funny in the moment” 😂

so if the man injuries is legit , wtf do yall want him to do? nba teams fire coaches all the time and still pay them, stop pocket watching
facts
It's OK SAS Thank U For Being A Man Apologize
Phily is the right move to PG
