Rondo's not a punk, he just doesn't take Sh-t from anyone. especially from someone who's never played professional basketball. as far as Rondo coming back next year, i think he does. heck, i hope when he retires, he becomes Luke's assistant. Rajon won't stand for Luke's "experimenting"... assistant or not. LOL!

Someone compared Stephen A to Hitler because they can't separate, persona vs person. Unbelievable.

Probably pissed that SAS is shouting "Trade BI" from the rooftops. BI stood up for Rondo, Rondo stands up for BI. I dig it.

Well, it's probably the reason you won't see him back next year, or why he hasn't stuck with a team in the past 5 yrs?? He's a punk to people, which means he can be a punk to his own teammates. You guys are laughing about it right now because it's to people you don't like. But what happens when it's people you do like?


Exactly...

After the KD incident, I realized when we hear the phrase "fake news", stephen A is the prime example of what real fake news is: the journalist making the story about how THEY feel rather than report a story, AKA Sean Hannity...

Stephen A is a joke, always has been, always will be. That said, he is one of the Godfathers of the Modern Day Media Loudmouth Know-Nothing, so if that's something to be proud of, cool.

To get respect, you have to earn respect. SAS is a loud mouth who makes up words and fabricated stories to get eyes on him. You can’t “disrespect” someone who nobody respects, dude is a joke.

I couldn’t be happier with Rondo. If he punches Devin Booker sometime this season I’ll buy a Rondo Jersey.

I'm in the minority. I enjoy watching Stephen A. talk basketball. I may not agree with him all the time, but I do enjoy his television personality.

Why was he even allowed in the locker room? Do any players like him? He acts like he is everyone's best friend but I don't see it.

Just an update from this mornings First Take. Stephen A said that the Lakers contacted him and said that Rondo's comments were not directed towards him. Stephen then called Rondo a champion and he apologized to Rondo.

SAS is pretty much like all ESPN personalities, they are entertainers first and foremost....they talk a lot of smack but when one of those stars comes on their show, they have a case of celebrity envy....

Well thank goodness SAS didn’t clear this up with Rondo right when it happened.

I don't get the hate for Stephen A Smith. One of the best to ever do it. I think people get bent out of shape because he articulates his opinions extremely well. It's hard to have a rebuttal against him so people get mad knowing they couldn't beat him in an argument if they tried simply because he's better at doing it. If he was just a verified clown like Marcelus Wiley or Jason Witlock, people would have not an issue at all.

Stephen A is well connected and respected. He cannot reveal his sources or it would ruin his career. If you think he's blowing smoke, it's because he's revealing the ugly petty conversations that take place without attaching names. If Stephen A says it - the conversation took place. If it materializes, that's not the point.

Au contraire mon ami. SAS is genius in his approach to his job. His mouth is his shtick. He once said, paraphrasing, I'm not on TV to be like this, I'm on TV because I am like this. His net worth is around $10 million. Calling people dumb because they understand him is not very smart. Calling people dumb is also offensive.

Wouldn't it be the other way around?

At any rate, I agree - it's his schtick and it sure does legitimately swallow up a lot of people. Others may find it annoying, entertaining, what have you. But it's intentional.

Could be. Key term paraphrasing. I remember him saying it, don't remember how he sequenced it. SAS uses his greatest asset, his mouth, to the max. What causes me to smile is his misguided sense of his superior use of the Kings English. He makes more grammatical gaffes than I do and I make a zillion. He also has some notable contacts.
