I'm surprised Stephen A doesn't fire back with personal attacks of his own considering what he's accomplished in his own field

I have to admit first take at times can be entertaining but Stephen A totally seems like a fake person .. also seems to be racist if I’m being honest hearing him talk over the years of his career

He loves himself too much for! Bottom line JJ was right he doesn't know what playing is like. Period. Not alot of analysts do and that's too bad.

About DAMN TIME 🙏.
Bring that Lion back out homie! Show them how you got there! JJ be wrong half the time anyway! Volume and Articulation doesn't make you right. Playing doesn't mean someone else can't see. You didn't get there using shit as a crutch. Respect this man's route and hard work! You coming for the King, please don't miss🤫

I have numerous episodes of JJ Reddick on first take. It's absolutely hilarious how many people listen to exactly what he is saying. Most of his responses even though it's opionated for the most part are off. Just cause he played doesn't make what he is saying right. Volume doesn't make anyone right. I challenge everyone to actually go back and LISTEN TO SOME THE BS! he says.
Also please remember be a Duke blue devil is similar to being in a fraternity. He and Jay Williams are extremely biased when one of the brotherhood is being tested. Nothing with that, I'm that's something Coach K instilled to all his players too look out for each other

SAS doesn't have a clue what basketball pedigree or any other sports he thinks because he wrote about sports this gives him insight. No. Your'e not an athlete. Your mouth and loudness got you this platform and yes it works for you.
Nevertheless it doesnt mean you are qualified to speak about sports at the highest levels. This goes for Skip Bayless the undercover racist. Colin Herd who thinks his opinion has weight. Max who never gets tired of hearing himself talk about sports, athletes, or coaches even though he has no pedigree as well. All of these people who have opinions about sports with No Experience at the highest levels should be quiet about their thoughts to the athletes who have played the game.
Timothy N . 4 days ago
No JJ didn't get personal SAS was out of order for attempting to extract that he knows the life of a NBA player. You do Not SAS. Dude you be talking about Lebron James like you want his life. You can't handle his life. His world is not only different from yours but he doesn't have to worry about anything.
ESPN has told you what drives content, ratings, and other things you must adhere to in order for you to stay on their platform.

Honestly I’ve listened to Steven for 10 years or so however long now and I’ve only listen to JJ a little bit
I find JJ insufferable and could see a lot of people immediately not hitting it off with him. He has a very pretentious way of speaking
Stephen may have a very passionate opinion but I don’t see him condescending to people or getting overly offended over opinions.

You can't claim to have nothing but love for people and then turn around and rip them in public and then claim to be real in any way shape or form. And I'd be willing to bet none of these people he claims to be so close with view him in the same light or trust him at all.

My boss has never done what I do, but I'd be out on my ear in a second if I ever brought that up. If I were Stephen A I would do my best to crush JJ in the industry. Let him live off his NBA millions but we don't need whiny feminine energy in this role. It's not JJ's job to check Stephen A, but on the whole Stephen A could be more humble. Once the UFC became popular he would talk about stuff as if he knew anything about it. It's okay to say you don't know much about something but you like learning.

Every time Stephen blinks while it’s quiet dead air, I hear those sound effects from cartoons when they blink, like on some dexters laboratory for real 😂 Am I crazy? You all feel me right?

This could be signs of a trend with SAS: whenever he comes across someone who threatens him intellectually, and he’s white, he could have just a bit of a hard time with it, or how else do you explain the defensive bragging about his ability to generate views?
