    SAS has gone on for over 2 weeks talk about the “optics.” It’s done, time to move on.

    SAS keeps switching his takes all the time.

    Stephen A respects JJ Redick because he stomped stomp him every debate that Stephen a try to hit him with😂 I love the higher I think it works out I guarantee JJ will get tips and direction from Coach K let’s go Lakers baby🎉

    I’m so sick of you blacks complaining and crying about everything.

    June 24, 2024 at 3:08 pm

    So LeBron did a podcast with JJ knowing they were going to be put out in the first round and Ham was going to lose his job? Lol. Just because someone said something doesn’t mean it’s worth repeating

  18. @loomtasticrainbowloom1305

    June 24, 2024 at 3:10 pm

    Steven A is implying LeBron is selfish and not looking out for the brothers. News flash, no brothers are looking out for another. Including Steven A. So don’t be preaching none of that BS. We are all looking out for ourselves first and foremost. Again, I believe LeBron has no previous relationship with Ham. Therefore he does not owe him anything

    Anyone who has any flavor of optimism is a literal fool

    SAS can’t stop himself from bringing race into the show. If he doesn’t then he can’t think of a take.

  21. @troyg2458

    June 24, 2024 at 3:14 pm

    I hope they give Tim Legler, JJ`s old job. Or just rehire Jeff and Mark.

    Blacks are the most self-victimized group

    How do we really know JJ has a brilliant basketball mind if he NEVER coach 🤔

    Race is a factor. Point blank

    ALLLLLLL SA NEEDS TO DO IS, TREAT JJ LIKE TGE COWBOYS…………..WAIT FOR IT…….WAIT FOR IT……..sit back and……WSIT FOR IT😊
