Stephen A. Smith on LeBron James comments about the GOAT debate: “He’s talking about they would say the same thing, no they wouldn’t. Michael Jordan would never tell you he’s the GOAT, I know Michael Jordan I speak to him often, I’m telling you he’s never ever, ever once called himself the greatest never happened. Kobe Bryant didn’t call himself the greatest, Kareem didn’t call himself the greatest, Magic didn’t call himself the greatest, Bird didn’t call himself the greatest, no that’s not true. He can say they might thought it, but they never articulated it to a reporter for print purposes to be disseminated to the masses. Which brings us to LeBron James why would he do that? Because the man is addicted to trying to control the narrative.”

Adam Silver says he’s “wouldn’t be doing my job” if he issued a decision “based on perception.” He says he needs to wait for the facts from the investigation into the Clippers dealings with Aspiration. There’s no timeline on when that report will conclude but “we’re close to the point where we need to wrap this up.”

Isn’t it Adams job to work the phone? Why couldn’t we get him. We were in the conversation before he signed the extension. What changed?

Klutch and their cronies spend their whole life discrediting Kobe MJ and Curry just to make LeBron look better lol. It has to be exhausting.

Holy sh*t. Thomas Massie says he’s going to start publicly naming billionaires implicated in the Epstein files because Trump’s DOJ refuses to convict. More courage than the rest of the GOP has combined.

Watch SGA’s legs This is such a DISGRACE ! We got to get rid of Adam Silver and get another David Stern in here. Silver has no backbone has done NOTHING about this, so it gets worse and worse 🤦🏻‍♂️ (@tjjackson)

Isaiah Hartenstein yanked Stephon Castle by his dreads OMG

Here’s the Stephen A. Smith playbook on dealing with Black male athletes in his crosshairs: 1.He says something slick about your character and couches it in sports. 2. He threatens to attack you with his reach via ESPN if you respond. 3. He pulls in other Black men, normally former athletes with “credibility,” that he helped secure a job at ESPN via First Take, to join him in attacking said person. 4. If public opinion sways against him, he gaslights the audience by making it seem like he always supported the person he disrespected, cherry-picking moments when he had positive things to say about indisputable truths. I’ve seen him run this play before and he will run it again.
