Stephen A. Not A Jaylen Brown Fan

[BringToughnessBack]

Well, give me a choice to become friends with Jaylen Brown or Smith, and its Brown 100 out of 100 times.

Anything to try and cause a bit of chaos for the Celtics right now.

I'll become friends with BringToughnessBack over Stephen A. Smith as well 

😂🍷

This guy is such a tool. He just says the opposite of what everybody knows is true.

The quality and direction of media discourse has me seriously considering leaving this sport behind after the season.  They harm their own product, either passively through neglect or actively through hit pieces like this.  Want to know why Jaylen isn't "marketable"?  It's because these heads haven't made any effort to market him. 

They've poisoned their own well.

The C’s must have a poor marketing team then. The media hates on them bad lol

He seems to be liked/respected by his teammates…who cares how well liked he is around the rest of the nba

Like most of the major media outlets, not fans of Boston. Or anything not LA or NY

Glad someone called SAS out…

NBA legend and two-time champion Isiah Thomas took an issue with Stephen A. Smith’s source. Thomas took to social media to defend Jaylen Brown as the two have had a relationship for years. “I have been a friend, mentor and advisor to (Brown) since he was a student at UC Berkeley,” Thomas said in a post. “He is 100 percent marketable and before you slander his name (Smith) tell your source to put their name on it or don’t speak on it. Let it be known.”  – via Booth Newspapers

Stephen A Smith thinks he is the king maker in sports when in all reality most of the athletes he name drops thinks he is a clown.

The guy has a sense of self worth no one else sees and sports would be much better if he disappeared for good.

He's also one of the VPs of the players union, so clearly other players respect him

Stephen A took issue with Isiah calling him out publicly to reveal his source, saying he was upset that Isiah "would choose to go on X to expressed whatever dissent you feel instead of calling me directly". He feels Isiah should have have a private word to him instead.

Maybe if Stephen A didn't want to be called out publicly he shouldn't have called Jaylen out publicly

Jaylen also directly called him out on Twitter lol and SAS responded. And First take did a segment about it too

What a clown… it’s not just Jaylen even others in the past like Durant have dealt with him and called him out. I’m glad more and more folks are calling him and ESPN out on this stuff

Stephen a smith playing the victim is hilarious. And he never misses a chance to throw a jab at the Celtics.
What a putz
