kahwi reminds me of mj with his deadly jumper and great defense too bad we dont get to see him awesome player
Kawhi has what 3 rings and 2 finals MVPs I would understand he’s at the tail end of his career, Embid has zero conference finals in his resume and has had a shorter nba career .
How?! Kawhi actually wins chips? Embiid will be forgotten if he doesn’t win something. Stephen a is such a hypocrite.
How is Stephen still out here still lying? Dude has no serious news on this issue and just speaks his mind. Dude seriously messed up and he can't accept the fact his stardom is over. Of course I'm signing that contract every single time. What doesn't he understand? He's tried to play multiple times he just thrashed. This is America are you kidding me Stephen? You kicking out host and smashing wives but don't have a problem with what you're doing? Crazy.
Right on, SAS!
35 yr old harden had 29 11 and 8 on opening night and not a word of credit. Yes he missed the ft but he got them to that point after a shitty 1st half
Kawhi is the same as 99% of black people at their job.
Want to be paid but doesn’t want to work.
Go bald SAS
Not mad looking at his checks…. Running a network…slagging working, for a 10th of what these guys get.
“He gets away with everything….he has every perk, don’t let me mention the private jets….” BOY!…HATER
STEPHEN A SMITH IS A JUDAS LIKE WILLIAM O NEAL FROM " JUDAS AND THE BLACK MESSIAH " STEPHEN A SMITH 🎯 TARGETS BLACK ATHLETES TO GWT RATINGS AND VIEW
Stephen has been mean to Kawhi Leonard ever since. that's how he really is. what can he really do to injure the person? but playing is always praise. Shai Alexander boasts that he only made the playoffs in 2023-24. If I had to choose Lebron or Kawhi. I would choose Kawhi over Lebron. if Kawhi wasn't always injured, maybe Kawhi would get more rings than lebron who has 21 seasons with only four rings and one bubble.🤣🤣🤣
IT WOULD NICE IF KWAI LEONARD WOULD SAY THAT STEPHEN A SMITH IS THR BIGGEST LIAR IN SPORTS MEDIA
I HOPE KWAI LEONARD DOES A SONG WITH KENDRICK LAMAR SAYING STEPHEN A SMITH IS THE " DRAKE "OF SPORTS MEDIA
Spurs dodged a bullet on this one
BLACK NBA PLAYERS SHOULD FILE A SUIT AGAINST STEPHEN A SMITH AND ESPN FOR STEPHEN A SMITH'S RACIALLY DISPARATE REPORTING THAT ADVERSELY AFFECTS BLACK NBA PLAYERS LIKE
1.KWAI LEONARD
2.JAYLEN BROWN
3.KYRIE IRVING
WHILE PROTECTING WHITE PEOPLE IN THE NBA LIKE
1.JAMES DOLAN
2.JOSH GIDDEY
3.JJ REDDICK
BLACK NBA PLAYERS SHOULD NOT NOT DO INTERVIEWS WITH STEPHEN A SMITH PERSONALLY
BLACK NBA PLAUERS SHOULD PROTEST BY DOING RASHEED WALLACE INTERVIEWS WITH ESPN BY SAYING ONLY "THAT BOTH TEAMS PLAYED HARD"
BLACK NBA PLAYER AND BLACK ATHLETES MIST STOP TOLERATED THE DISRESPECT AND JUDAS JOURNALISM OF STEPHEN A SMITH
And yet they paid him n let Paul George go.
The NBA needs to stop paying max dollars to players that are always injured
Welp……OKC….You reaping the benefits fo SHO! 😂😂😂😂
But you love Embid? he’s the same hypocrite
No one is trying to understand Kahwi Leonard when he will make a comeback you guys will start praise him
STEPHEN A SMITH IS THE POSTE CHILD FOR BECOMING A HOMOGNEIZED JUDAS JOURNALIST ON BEHALF OFNWHITE SUPREMACY. STEPHEN A SMITH THIBKS LIKE A WHITR MAN ACTS LIKE A WHITE MAN BY TARGETING BLACK ATHLETES LIKE KAWAI LEONARD. SO BLACK ATHLETES SHOULD TREAT STEPHEN A SMITH LIKE THE WHITE RACIST REPORTER THAT HE OPERATES AS. BLACK ATHLETES SHOULD BOYCOTT STEPHEN A SMITH
CLIPS A COURSE TEAM
WITH
A COURSE PLAYER HARDEN
MATCH MADE IN CANCUN
🎉🎉
DOUBLE BLACK MIDDLE FINGERS TO THE JUDAS JOURNALIST STEPHEN A SMITH
DOUBLE BLACK MIDDLE FINGERS TO STEPHEN A SMITH FOR ACTING LIKE WILLIAM O NEAL FROM "JUDAS AND THE BLACK MESSIAH "

STEPHEN A SMITH AINT BLACK LIKE JIM TROTTER AND KEBDRICK LAMAR SHOULD MAKE A RECIRD ABOUT IT
DOUBLE BLACK MIDDLE FINGERS TO STEPHEN A SMITH FOR PROTECTING JJ REDDICK BY NOT REPORTING ON FORMER CHICAGO BULLS EMPLOYEE HALLEEMAH NASH ACCUSING JJ REDDICK OF CALLING HER A " N-GG-R ". STEPHEN A SMITH DIDNNOT PROTECT JAYLEN BROWN WHEN HEBCITED AN ANONYMOUS SOURCE WHEN HE SAVAGED JAYLEN BROWN
KAWAI LEONARD GIVES DOUBLE BLACK MIDDLE FINGERS TO THE JUDAS JOURNALISM OF STEPHEN A SMITH
ESPN HAS THE WORST BASKETBALL COVERAGE BECAUAE THEY HAVE TOO MANY NON ATHLETES AND NON BASKETBALL PLAYERS TALKING ABOUT THE NBA
STEPHEN A SMITH HAS NEVER SCORED A POINT IN A HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL GAME , COLLEGE BASKETBALL GAME, NBA GAME
BRIAN WINDHORST CANNOT RUN 1 LAP AROUND AN NBA COURT
SHANNON SHARPE HAS NEVER OLAYED IN THE NBA
MALIKA ANDREWS IS NOT A BASKETBALL PLAYER
CHRIS RUSSO IS A NON ATHLETE
KAWAI LEONARD PROBABLY FEELS STEPHEN A SMITH IS THE WORST PERSON IN SPORTS MEDIA BECAUSE STEPHEN A SMITH IS PATHOLOGICAL LYING HYPOCRITE
he quit his way outta San Antonio on top of that
I know many Lakers fans was a tad upset when he pulled a ghost move on us, but I wasn’t at all. I know he’s hurt at the best/worst times
Just watched first take today. Never will while yall have a man dressed like willy wonka
Kawai is simply stupid
Keep the same energy for all the superstars not only kawhi 💯 👌
Just can see 2 clowns who are gonna eat their own words.
Finally. Kawhi is on the hot seat..
Clippers will forever regret trading SGA. Biggest mistake in franchise history.
Kawhi should retire
Now kawhi suing the clippers for mistreatment of his injuries.
kawhi would rather play in china than on clip[pers.
Terance Mann is not like that 😂
Billionaires buying teams thinking it’s easy is the worst thing that can happen to a team. Should’ve never signed and traded for Paul. They got nothing for it
STREET KLOTHES KAWHI is overrated as heck!!! Other than stealing owners $$$ what has he accomplished?
Why yall keep bringing up Embiid? Embiid promotes the 76ers, talks to the media and plays way more than Kawhi
10/28? She says his stats as if Harden did well.
Stephen a shutup …
I see people bringing up Embed but he's literally promotes the team an we watched him actually play with an injury in the playoffs last season. I'm trying to see how is he comparable to Kawhi
James did all he could clippers role players got a chance step up
CLIPPERS PLEASE DONT MAKE INGLEWOOD LOOK BAD
Kawhi is just the best example of how out of condition today's NBA players are compared to their predecessors. All they wanna do is sit out and get paid.
Kawhi has a no-trade clause, Clippers need to find a stupid GM that will take him much like their own
Stephen A really dislikes the guys who dont work. First kyrie and now kawhi
