HAHAHAHA keep going at Stephen A ๐๐๐
Stephen a smith didn't have ti say what he said alot of that shit was cap what people was saying i bet u
I had said shit when he was overweight ๐
I thought i seen ziom at my granny hous on a sunday๐
SAS is just a snake oil salesman. Aaf
Damn SA โฆ itโs not THAT serious ๐๐ youโre literally arguing with a teamโs social media dept ๐๐๐ youโre fighting ghost at this point..
Ziion be sleep walking when he smell food๐๐
Have there been a time when SAS go back and forth with a white player like this ?
Media can talk bad about athletes but athletes can't talk bad about media
Stephen A cooked the Pelicans
Steven gay has such a big ego who cares about him
does anyone actually like SAS?
ngl. I like Stephen A. All of this was hilarious๐
Honestly SAS response was pretty good loll
SAS really got them tho lol nobody cares about the Pels outside New Orleans ๐ and his job is to talk about them so in a way he makes money outta that franchise lol
I heard ziionhad the same chef Glenn baby davis had that ate his way out the league๐
Charles Barkley "I'm full"
athletes dont choose to be injured
You call Zion food addict they called you a nerd that's fair to me
lmao he has no problem going after everybody but when someone comes after him his feelings get hurt.
This dude is such a clown. He sounds like he is some bum writing for the National Enquirer, instead of an actual sports journalist.
bro Stephen A cooked them ngl
People act like Zion is the first NBA star who eats more than he probably should and gets chunky
Edit: lol he's this salty about the teams Twitter community manager or whatever? Cmon, man…
I usually don't like SAS but I was laughing on this one
SAS wants drama and he knows thats what gets him views. He was happy he had something to talk about on First Take. He'll happily go back and forth on this topic
I dont know why people still listen to the NONSENSE of Stephen A. Smith
SAS saw Max and crashed out๐
Man can pick on people but when they pick back he gets all booty hurt
Pels fan here. I'm no Stephen A fan, but he's not wrong. We're clamoring for better from this team.
His hairline receded back another centimeter
yall can hate him all yall want but is he wrong? ๐๐๐
This man really beefing with an unpaid intern running pelicans twitter
Dude wants to run for President one day and he can't take the heat from an NBA social media team? Good luck with that.
Itโs all entertainment. Enjoy the circus!
Zion lost some passion when the NBA pulled the okie doke on him. He was going to the Knicks with that 1st round pick until AD left for Lakers. NBA feared no one would show up to the Pels games without a marquee player. So of course Pels get the 1st pick. Same thing they did for Dallas when Luka left. Same thing when Bron left for Miami. Shared revenue leagues do that.
Is SAS lying though? Yall seem to just be sensitive facts.
SAS sensitive. He absorbs everything to the bone. He needs some features so shit can just roll off of him. Damn. As much as he talk about these athletes as if they donโt have feelings and families.
bro got ragebaited
Let me make a case for Zion Williamson that isnโt being made clearly enough. ๐ฃ๏ธ๐
โ1/ The Julius Peppers Paradox
Julius Peppers. 6'7", 285 lbs. One of the top 10 athletes to EVER play in the NFL. A universal genetic marvel. Nobody wrote think pieces about his diet. Why? Because he looked chiseledโthe "aesthetic" of an elite athlete.
โBut letโs look at what Peppers could NOT do. He had a 37.5" vertical. Zion? 47 inches. Zion is generating that explosive power at roughly 315 lbs (letโs be real, heโs well past that college 285). The gap in explosive power is almost incomprehensible.
โ2/ The Aesthetic Bias
The criticism of Zion is 100% visual. If he looked like a bodybuilder, weโd call him a god. Because he carries his mass differently, we call him "out of shape." But you donโt have a 47" vertical and lead the league in rim pressure if you aren't in elite condition. Heโs not fat; heโs just big as shit.
โ3/ The 6,000-Calorie Engine ๐ฅฉ๐ฅ
People aren't always big because they eat too much; they eat a lot because they are BIG. An elite athlete moving 315 lbs at Zion's intensity needs 5,000โ6,000 calories a day just to recover.
โThe Math: BMR + (Game Output) + (Muscle Repair Tax) = text{Massive Fuel Intake}.
โAsking a 25-year-old to get 6k calories from strictly broccoli and chicken is a mental health nightmare. He has to eat to play, not to look a certain way for your TV screen.
โ4/ The 2026 Evolution ๐
Look at the data from this season (March 2026). He just finished a stretch of 35 consecutive games. Thatโs not luck; itโs intelligence.
โSmarter IQ: Heโs shooting more floaters and short-rolls, cutting down the "car-crash" landings.
โPoint Zion: An 18.9% assist rate. Heโs letting the ball do the work, managing his gravity, and punishing defenses with his brain, not just his bulk.
โ5/ Give Him His Grace
There has never been a human being at his height and weight with this level of athleticism. Not one. He is a Category of Oneโand we keep judging him by standards built for bodies that don't compare to his.
โHeโs healthy. Heโs playing smarter. Heโs 25 years old. Give Zion his grace. Heโs earned it. ๐๏ธ
โ#NBA #ZionWilliamson #Pelicans #BasketballPhysics #CategoryOfOne
At 8:15 I thought to myself "damn, he's cutting what would be a great promo on a wrestling mic"
And a few seconds later he calls himself the American Dream ๐
The fans in New orleans probably will eventually start some "Fuck stephen a" chants lol
Can we stop pretending like Stephen A Smithโs opinion matters. The guy has achieved nothing. People love giving Kendrick Perkins shit but he achieved something, he was one of the best interior defenders in the NBA before injury. SAS is just a guy that likes basketball, you get better analysis from Bill Burr.
I dont like Stephen A but how is he wrong here.
he just being a journalist no? it wasnt even about him in the first place.
"But the truth of the reality of the matter is…. he was hiding food under the bed"๐
Hiding food under his bed ๐
SAS getting worse over the years bruh
