It's always good to see Skip Bayless and Stephen A. Smith go after one another. It's like, "I'm smarter than you," kind of thing. They both suck!

Stephen A. was on the big show a couple of years back, and a caller was taking him to task and making some very solid points while doing it.  Stephen A. responded by making fun of the way the guy talked.  He lost all of my respect that day, and he has never gotten it back.

A lot of people seem to have very strong opinions about Stephen A. Smith, mostly negative.  Personally, he's never really affected me that strongly either way.  To me, he's just another talking head.

Of course, if he's got any kind of beef with Paul Pierce, I'm staunchly on the side of the Truth.

Stephen A is one of the biggest Lebron homers in all of sports. On First Take it was mentioned how hard Pierce destroys Lebron regularly.

I'm surprised Stephen didn't cry more than he did.

Lol yup. Thats why I like Skip better. Even though he criticizes Lebron a whole lot, he likes Lebron as a person

The way Stephan A was talking about Kobe today was just disgusting. Talking like Kobe's ex-girlfriend who hasn't got over him

Stephan Smith does a radio show weeknights from 6-8pm on the Lakers' flagship station for ESPN radio.  He mainly talks about L.A. sports and especially the Lakers.

My brother met Stephan A. before game 1 of the Celtics-Knicks series in front of the Boston Garden last year and said the guy was patient and gracious.

Don't get me wrong, I love Stephan A Smith. I like his honesty, personality, bluntness, and I think he's really funny. But to think Paul Pierce owes him anything by not talking to him is kinda silly

I actually caught this and find it bizzare because on the outside looking in.. The only ways Pierce has changed are in the positive and he does plenty of interviews, plenty in the community etc...its not like stephen a smith is a celtics hater, he always has great things to say about them  KG, ray, rondo, and Doc...he has great things to say about Pierce as player but he always takes a slight shot at him unlike he does with any other player about how he acts since he won the championship etc....I dont get it but think its unprofessinal of him to be saying it like Pierce insulted him by not giving him an interview once and it happened to be after the championship, or maybe Pierce saying "hes the best player in the world" after hurt his feelings since hes like buddy buddy with kobe

A bunch of years ago, I woke to read a ridiculously critical column about Pierce by Steven Smith. This was before Smith became a TV personality and was writing for a Philly paper.  It actually inspired me to fire off an email to Smith telling him his column was so off base.  IIRc, Smith called Pierce gutless.  He never responded, of course.

Pierce responded to this column with his epic game 5 close out performance against AI and the Sixers to win their hard fought playoff series in 2002.  PP put up a tidy 46 points on 26 FG attempts and shot Philly to their summer vacation by going 8-10 from three.

Nice vid TP.  Nothing like some vintage Pierce.

Dear god with that video quality I was expecting to see Bird come out in a Celtics jersey.

I think Stephan A Smith is jealous Pierce outplayed his husband in the 2008 Finals  ;D

I'm paraphrasing but he explained "Paul Pierce is such a closer and no doubt a hall of famer, even though he's not the best person to talk to. Ever since he won a title he got a little cocky. When he was losing he had no problems being nice and talking to reporters"

Steven i smith is a reporter?
As opposed to people that are cocky that haven't won anything? And Stephen A Smith is never cocky.
