Former NBA Player SCREAMS ON Stephen A Smith For Zion Williamson Disrespect

Welcome back to NBA Cinema so today we have to react to Antonio Daniels getting at Stephen A Smith about those Zion Williamson comments now Stephen A Smith has had some things to say about Zion and I think you know he saw some of the traction over the summer well let me be

Fair to Stephen A Smith before I finish that statement he was saying things about Zion Williamson’s weight as many other people in the media were for a long time you know but this is Zion’s most consistent stretch of his career I think they won eight of their last 10

Cuz they actually lost to Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat last night but what I was about to say was you know Stephen A was talking about Zion and Mariah Mills and different things this summer and that got a lot of traction especially you know when he was still in the early

Stages of starting his channel and everything and he saw that talking about Zion’s weight and some of the things he’s into is clicks and rightfully so right you play the clicks game um to get people interested otherwise you’ll just be making a video video for yourself so

I get it but Antonio Daniels is pointing out how quiet it has been since Zion has been playing well it’s always been about his weight his availability different things like that and they also talk really bad about him when they lost in the NBA uh playin tournament how bad the

Lakers beat them and that was justifiable criticism because him and Brandon Ingram were already speaking about what they were going to do in Las Vegas and it just showed that their head wasn’t in the right place but you got to give them credit right now they’re playing really well and people have been

On Stephen A Smith because his takes are just all entertainment for the most part and there’s really no sustenance in that that you can get you know and learn something about the game of basketball so Antonio Daniels former San Antonio Spur um current Pelicans broadcast that

He went in on Stephen A Smith for a few minutes straight I’m going to let y’all hear what he had to say and I’ll be back back let’s people I got something I have to give on my chest so can I get on my

So boox for a minute you can have 30 if you want listen man I I am all for objective Fair critiquing of individuals and collectively of teams and I’ll be the first one to say this I felt what Stephen A said this morning about Zion was completely inappropriate and lazy there’s a

Way if you have an issue there’s a way to go about addressing that issue and it’s funny because I was on the I do a a weakling spot with Chris brard and Rob Parker and I went on with those guys a couple days ago and I told them it’s

Amazing to me how you can tell how Zion’s playing because it’s really quiet so when he goes on national television and he plays a subpar game or below average game then that’s when all the noise hits you know that there are two teams right now Cam that have won either of

Their last nine games you know who those two teams are dubs and pels or maybe the maths is it Ms and pels or is it dubs and pels I believe it’s Boston and pels have won eight of their last nine games but then you wake up this morning

And this right here is the topic it it’s to me it’s almost gotten to the point where it’s personal you know how people say certain things Cam and what they say in their actions don’t match I I tell you one thing that’s always bothered me when some someone

Precedes a comment by saying I only want what’s best for this young man but then proceed to berate that young man and beat him down how do those two things go together they don’t again they don’t they don’t and if you’ve been watching the Pelicans as of late you would

Understand that this team is playing well this young man is playing well he’s been available so if you have a beef and and this is the part that kind of gets me why is the are these conversations completely geared around Z there’s so much young talent in this

League but for for whatever reason these kind of conversations only seem to center around this young man and I don’t grasp the concept I don’t get it this is lazy to me it’s lazy tell me you don’t watch PA’s games by saying things like this because especially

After a game like last night if you watch the game last night 27- n Zion’s been fantastic as of late and it’s almost like you don’t want to see him succeed the game before that prior to the all-star break 36 and8 and six what are we talking

About what are we talking about burgers and all this other the young man is doing his thing right now individually and the team is doing their thing collectively they’re 12 games above 500 cam they’re in the fifth spot in the Western Conference but this is what the conversation center

Around tell me what I’m missing here tell me what I don’t what am I missing here what do I not like why does this make sense why is it this easy for people to go on national television and tear down the young man like

This so as you can see some of the local Pelicans broadcast is getting tired of the way Stephen A Smith is coming at uh Zion Williamson and we’ve seen it right we’ve seen uh him go back and forth with the official account we saw the person that runs the New Orleans Pelicans

Twitter spaces try to get Stephen A Smith on after they said Kendrick Perkin obliged he came on and um you know they they want to see where Stephen A Smith’s head’s really at now um again Stephen A is Entertainer man I don’t look at I

Don’t go to him you know per se for wisdom about the game or how the game should be played I mean this is a guy who didn’t think you know Jaylen Brunson was a steal for the money he got uh and a lot of people didn’t think that one

But you know that that was kind of obvious to me but you know he’s the one that wanted to throw all of these future picks and everything away for Donovan Mitchell so I don’t necessarily listen to him about trying to build a team he

Wants a St he wants a name that shoots a lot of shots and scores a lot of points and he thinks that’s going to make the Knicks win basketball game so I don’t listen to his analysis you know for uh you know to come away thinking you know differently about the game

Before I heard him speak he he’s an Entertainer you know what I’m saying he he’s an Entertainer he gets a few things right he’s a conversationalist he’s a person that you know I enjoy his interviews and stuff with like Magic Johnson he brought them on uh after they left the Lakers his

Interview with Carmelo Anthony different journalistic things like that he’s a journalist um and he’s worked hard to get where he’s at but when I listen to him talk about the players I mean Zion’s weight is one thing he could have left it at only thing we’re concerned about about

Is his weight and his health and now that’s fine you could say that anytime you want to for the long term cuz it is you could say the Pelicans is kind of behind schedule of what they’ve invested financially in right they shouldn’t have missed the playoffs last year and Zion

You know not planning to play and he still has a lot to prove and we’ll see where he’s at you know in early April see if he’s out there helping his teammates but you start talking about cheeseburgers and shell and all that stuff um it it becomes like a comical type of

Thing you know where um people feel like you playing with their money at that point man or future money they can earn you look at Zion’s contract Zion has all types of football like stipulations in there earning his money and different things like that he has to

Um he has to um play a certain amount of games obviously his his body fat percentage and his weight cannot be greater than the sum of 295 and at some point they could wave him if they elect to right so Zion um Zion is playing and another thing I

Will look at and I may give Stephen a credit for It’s mighty interesting that he’s playing a lot more this year and hasn’t had the same amount of ailments all of a sudden when they build your contract that way you see what I’m saying so I think

That’s uh convenient I I’ll say that but um Antonio Daniels coming to the defense of Zion man we got to give Zion and the Pelicans credit right now they playing really hard eight of the last 10 um I want to know what you guys think about this in the comment section don’t forget
