Wow, so passionate regarding Jaylen Brown compared to the Luka Doncic Lakers OKC ejection last season 4 games before the playoffs, in the 4th quarter with 7:40 left where luka was talking to a fan after he just made a shot that put Lakers ahead. Luka missed the remainder of the game.
They had to stop the Lakers somehow since they had just beat OKC two days prior. How pathetic Stephen A. Whatâs the difference? And Lukas T was later rescinded and NBA admitted ref made a mistake. Luka wasnât even talking to a ref! But hereâs Stephen Aâs response to it as he blames LUKA:
Stephen A. Smith criticized Luka DonÄiÄ regarding his ejection, suggesting that star players like him and LeBron James need to stop constantly complaining to officials, jawing, and stomping around, but instead focus on playing ball to avoid such situations.
Context: The incident involved Luka receiving a second technical foul during a game, resulting in his ejection, which he claimed was due to talking to a fan rather than the referee.
Stephen A.âs Take: He echoed sentiments that high-profile players need to manage their emotions and focus on the game rather than the officials.đ¤Ł

Jaylen brown was crying over
a foul that wasnt even arguably a foul. And if it was it wasnt a foul like that for him to start screaming and cryingđđđ and steve a amy tef has the power to eject people as you see. So it was well witbin his right. Yall love being hypocrit4s. If luka does this he a cry baby. Jaylen does it its applauded. He crked over a bump and if thats a foul i sww why bam got the calla all night. đ

EGREGIOUS! PREPOSTEROUS! STFU and play on

Both Stephen and Chin are dummies! They wanted Jaylen to have special privileges. Jaylen was immature. That wasnât a shove. He tripped. One turn over. Move on and get back to the game. He cost his team by losing control and taking himself out of the game. The other ref has the right to give him the 2nd tech. Thatâs within the rules. So what if heâs an MVP candidate! (I like Jaylen BTW, but đđź in this instance.) GSG!

Yo, Stephen A. Smith SNAPPED on that Official, and Doggie Dog went in on Jaylen Brown. I agree with both đđđ

Jaylen was tripping. He was wrong for acting like that and he got what he deserved. Castle didnât push him hard or nothing like that. That was a âplay onâ type of play. These boys need to learn how to just play basketball. Stop crying for foul calls. Put your big boy pants on and play ball. Jaylen acted like Castle clotheslined him or something. My goodnessâŚâŚplay on.

Glad Mad Dog is calling out the BS Jalen Brown is saying. Jan 9 against the Raptors he went 12/13 from the free throw line and shot more FTâs than the entire Raptors team on a bunch of bs calls. The next night in Boston against the Spurs he dont get that same bs whistle and he bi****s about it. Canât have it both ways, you need call it out when you get that bs whistle too to prove a point!!!

I like how when Stephen A is actually heated suddenly he knows how to pronounce wembyâs name (normally he says wembanyana). Also tf does he mean Brown is top 2 MVP candidate? No one is saying that, the consensus top 3 is shai jokic and wemby(in whatever order).

Stephen A and the girl in the middle are making it personal. No substance. Just shouting. Mad Dog was right on this one. That puny hand check was not a foul. If it was, NBA games would be 5 hrs long. Jaylen Brown is a wonderful talent but canât control his emotions. Noticed in his comments/tweet he says âIâ âIâ âIâ. Nothing about âteamâ. Wemby almost gets his nose broke, no foul call. Did he complain like a misfit??!! I didnât want JB to be thrown out but he did it to himself.

I watched that game and I agree the ejection was supported. The push was not even severe and there was a bit of a flop reaction by Jaylen. There are so many missed calls in every game so if they miss one get over it and look at the big picture and control your emotions and help your team by staying in the game. DONE!

If they are arguing about no-call, they need to watch Stephen Curryâs videos from 10 years ago. always no call
