SAS 2:00 – 2:13 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The 1.5 hours of repetitive nfl topics vs 5 min for the nba is killing me
Let that be the lakers HE WOULD KILL THE TEAM 😂😂😂😂 steph got smoked
“Bust their living you know what.” He always sounds like a guy imitating a New Yorker.
mitchell shouldnt be added to starting lineup. he should be the back up center. I dont want KAT at 4. He's way better at 5.
usually SAS gets on bigs that do things outside of the paint. today he woke up and now wants to see bigs OUTSIDE of the paint…..WHAT?! lol.
Ja ain’t playin around he had that ol skool mentality when it comes to attacking
Crazy how Steph is washed before Lebron 🤣
Wemby dunks
ESPN: Did you see that????
Stephen A: Let me tell you why you’re wrong…He is 7’5”!!!!!😠.
Wemby haters are 🤡
He focused on the grizzlies deservedly and you lot are mad. Madness
The way Wemby can move is fluid asf!
WembanyaMa, Mr. Professional Sports Reporter. Storphan A Schmidt is garbage.
It's almost 2025 and Stephen A. Smith still cannot pronounce Wembanyama correctly.
Julius Randle has done the impossibe. Turned DAWG lovers into KAT fans.
Wemby is a all star, know it, respect it
He always does this regular season. When it counts he sucks
So Curry loses by 50 and drops 2 points and the media brushes it under the rug? The hypocrisy is crazy 😂😂😂
the 3 point shot is so boring , its killing the nba. Who wants to watch a 3 point contest every game ?
Of course Stephen a doesn't talk that long about the warriors getting slaughtered last night
NBA is so dead. We don’t care 😂
Karl-Anthony Towns' 32-point, 20-rebound return to Minnesota was a powerful reminder of his dominance, proving he’s still a force to be reckoned with in the league
Since day 1, I've been saying KAT better than AD! Faster, better handles, consistent, more explosive, Much more reliable health wise, and a better shooter!
Smith has some kind of axe to grind against Wemby… maybe because some of the players he's pushing aren't showing out or showing up. You can't just go dunk in the lane no matter how tall you are because there's some big dudes in there always looking to undercut you. Oh and BTW, aren't ratings down across the board? So you've got a guy people GENUINELY want to see play, including people who could care less about basketball, and here is yelling to downplay, telling them not to care. That sound like a recipe for ratings success? BTW, in this game, there were plenty of slick Wemby passes and blocked shots including the biggest block of all that didn't count — when he forced Trae Young on the last shot of the game to basically airball a layup over the backboard. This schtick about to get real old — same way it did for Bayless and his endless LeBron bashing.
Wemby an all star already ⭐️
Warriors season is over!! I don’t know what happened to them having such a good start.
Find it funny curry isn’t as effective without his crew
Stephen A; "the NBA has a 3 point problem."… Also Stephen A: " idgaf about dunks I wanna see 3's and ball handling!"… These pundits get stupider by the day I swear.
First off Stephen A. Just cause he 7'5 doesn't mean he should be dunking. How many big men his height could do what he did with the throw off the glass dunk. Face it He has it all
For the FINAL TIME STEPHANIE A SMITH! Its Victor WEMBANYAMA, not Wembanyana!
Still can't even pronounce wemby's correctly, embarrassing
As boring as Stephen A finds Victor’s dunks is how I feel watching any ESPN segment he’s in. He tries too hard and still isn’t entertaining. You can see the puzzled looks on his cohost’s faces like where is he going with this and why is it taking so long. I have no idea how he has lasted this long on air, but I don’t intend on watching any further to find out. Tell this to every producer on the air.
The fact that Stephen a didn’t even go into Steph Curry only making two points and not scoring a field goal… if that was LeBron James he would’ve had a three-piece segment about it…
Stephen A hatin ? Bit of Shaq like Jealousy of Vic. It sort of sounds like it 😄
It's almost 2025 and SAS still can't pronounce "Wembanyama".
So with that same energy it's not impressive if he blocks someone because he's 7'5. He's automatically disqualified from DPOY. CONGRATULATIONS SAS! 🎉
Wembayanma, not Wenmbanyanna
SAS consistently mispronouncing Wembys name is so disrespectful
I don’t think the dunk itself is what is news. SAS and everyone has it all wrong. I really thought the move in game was cool and the dunk was the end result. I think this is the 2nd time in a game situation where he has done this at the end of his forward movement avoided a travel and scored. He Gets the ball out of anyone else’s reach but his own and scores. I don’t disagree with the idea that his dunks can appear to easy. On the other hand I am excited to see him develop an inside game for when he’s not hitting from the outside.
