The NBA hella disrespectful and they wonder why the players have started to ensure their own futures and success.
I thought the Curse of the Clippers ended with Donald Sterling's exit…WELP!!!
This video would be a lot better without this dude who can’t stop talking too loudly. 😂
It's been awhile since I've agreed with S.A.
I am thinking CP3 is in the Spurs.😊
Can’t send K home .. cuz he’s always home!!!!😂😂😂😭😭😭😭 classic Stephen A
I agree with everything Stephen A said here
Tell the truth. CP3 had fights with Ty Lue and questioned his coaching. From there it crashed.
Tyron Lue needs to be fired. The team woes fall onto the Coach because he runs the team on the floor. Everything else is up to the front office. Stop excusing him Stephen A. He is not a good coach and never was.
Also Chris Paul is a defensive liability and should have retired last year. Who cares if he has been an all star and blah blah blah. He is done and thats a wrap.
People can deny if they want, or they can say the common is stupid, but but there’s clear evidence to support that the league is slowly transitioning into a league focused on white players.
Think about it. What is the most popular team in the league? The Lakers. And who is the face of that team now? Luka Dončić. But it don’t end there, when you go to a Walmart or a target, whose face do you see all over the front of the trading card packs? Cooper Flagg.
Now I know Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will be in the mix, but who are the other two likely to fight for the MVP? Luka Dončić, and Nikola Jokić. And then let’s look at all the other white superstars in the league that are emerging, Chet, Holmgren, Austin Reaves, Cooper Flagg, Kon Knueppel, Giddey, Christian Braun, just to name a few.
The league is also putting a lot more emphasis on international players the last few years, why? Because more often than not you get white players. Why is the league focusing more on white players? Because they play. They actually play. They don’t look for every excuse in the universe, not to play in basketball games like many other others are doing, and I don’t want to name names here, Anthony Davis, Zion Williamson, Kawhi Leonard, Ben Simmons, Joel Embiid, etc.
The league is getting tired of declining TV ratings and seeing the league superstars, not playing in games and load management and all this nonsense. They’re tired of the All-Star game, not being taken seriously.
I’m just telling you the patterns I’m recognizing, but maybe I’m off base but it definitely seems this way.
😂 how can you do this to Chris stop please stop he's finished just like Leonard
Hopefully the spur take him back
Chris Paul should just sign with the Thunder for free
Tell it ratword yea doggy LoL put Chris p on the thang wit da NBA trash lettn Melo go early Now Chris p couple cats trash NBA
Chris Paul also a career mediocre player. SAS playing his card and his whole deck 😂

A rare moment where I completely agree with Stephen A Smith.
ty lue resume looking like doc rivers resume too now lol
cp is old and useless now.
good move by the clippers
Clippers are a garbage poverty organization.
He should come to the Lakers
Clippers will always be the jv LA team
I'd like Shaq, Sir Charles, Kenny and EJ give their thoughts on this! Where's Inside the NBA?!?
He was sent packing because he was too toxic and too bossy. Acting like a coach and stepping on people's toes.
A masculine men should be very detail with everything about himself,his family, and his future. Can imagine a masculine successful men with hair in his nose, hair in his ears, fingernails dirty, hands ashy, lips dry, teeth yellow, clothes wrinkled, shoes dirty etc, a masculine detailed men is highly polished and smells like money and success
Stephen A. Smith—— always protecting his own kind per usual. Gtfoh
Now’s your chance Lakers. You know what to do😏😂 Send Bron and Bronny home
Goes 2 show how much of a problem he is in the locker room
Is this a competitive basketball league or a retirement program? He needs to go! Along with lebum
The Clippers are the worst run organization in sport look their
Logos a yacht That’s not even a clipper 😂
Only them media cares not cp3😂
🙏 preach SAS
Lakers should sign him now!
Update — Mad Dog was right. Ty Lue definitely had something to do with it.
I thought he was home for years now 😂
The Clippers are The Brown of the NBA Smh
Clipplers said na fam you can retire now lol
The disrespect… yall cut chris? Chris PAUL?!? ON HIS LAST YEAR OF his NBA career before retirement?!? Somebody Fire Every Person Who agreed to doing this to OUR GOAT!
THIS SUMS UP THE CLIPPERS AS A FRANCHISE. CLASSLESS PEASANTS.
Sending Chris Paul home does absolutely nothing talk about scapegoat
You know what they say…"The truth hurts." CP called the team and head office out and they felt salty.
Nobody currently connected to the clippers should be back next season except zubac . They need to be sellers to regain their future because the present is 🚮
Get around some strong and highly successful masculine men and you will see and understand more clearly! Life is in the details
A well polished men is winning ask majority of the woman who’s after the same men. Highly Polished detailed men
