Getting real about Lonzo Ball 

Shaun Livingston missed years of basketball because of a bad knee but played solid with the Golden State Warriors so anything is possible

Say what you want, Lonzo changed his family for generations. I hope he recovers.

Instead of saying "I told you so," you can just wish the kid a healthy recovery. Heck, go join him at his pool and talk with him about his recovery. No need to take a victory lap around someone's troubles.

Once those knees start acting up, it's hard trying to get back where you were, especially in sports

Its been 2 years since Lonzo played and he still can't run ? Yeah bro might need hang it up

A "journalist" doing victory laps about a player's injury is wild

This Really sucks about Lonzo. Before the injury he had the bulls in 1st place at one point in the east during the 2021-22 season for a brief period. Hoping he gets healthy soon 🤞🏽 Edit - he **helped the bulls get to the best record in the east before his injury** 👍🏽

Lonzo about to make a Katt Williams type sprinting video

Just by the thumbnail I know this isn’t gonna be good

I’m a diehard Bulls fans and this signing has been brutal!

Lonzo said "I'm coming back Man!" like he was trying to convince himself lol

You still missed the point entirely. You said he couldn’t get up without trouble. He addressed what you said and then you moved the goalpost! Be for real man. You’re smarter than that.

I don't understand what Stephen A's beef is with Lonzo Ball yellow journalism

Bro he called you out for saying he cant get out of a chair without it hurting. He proved you wrong and you still salty about it damn, grow the hell up.

It's odd that Stephen A has personalized this so much. This shouldn't be a segment to continuously antagonize someone through a tough rehab process. It's unnecessary, and a step closer to being unethical to be honest, given Lonzo's video was an attempt to be positive in his recovery process with nothing malicious to it. Who knows, a setback may have happened that's completely unrelated to the process you may have heard about beforehand. These things happen.

Bro leave this man alone… nobody speaking on it but you

Well look who jus got approved for advance basketball activities 😂😂😂✌🏿

Lonzo gonna try and film himself sprint in response to this and he’s gonna relapse

That fast break offense was tough with Lonzo, DeRozan and LaVine all healthy. I hate being a Bulls fan.

You kept your receipt on this one.

Lonzo might as well call it a day.

I guess Stephen A. being able to say "I Told Y'all So" outweigh any sympathy for the kid I'm still rooting for Lonzo he seem like a good dude‼️

The face Stephen A Smith made is “YOU PLAYED YOURSELF.” 🤣🤣

I’m confused about the receipt. Stephen A was proven wrong back then. He could in fact stand up. Even better he stood up with only the bad knee multiple times.

It’s a bit wild celebrating a players injury. Come on SAS. Come on brother. Support the young brothers.

And now he’s cleared for full active practices….. cmon bro this didn’t age well lmao

Give him time. Some sport injuries take 2-3 years to fully heal. Lonzo is still very young and I truly hope he comes back. I like watching his unselfish game and Lavar Ball was right when he said, "Lonzo makes players around him better!" Prayers up for you Brotha. Many of us are still rooting for your recovery.

Good thing he had a proper source this time 😂

You said lonzo had trouble standing up from a seated position, and he proved you wrong 😂

And now hes been cleared for advanced basketball activities as of yesterday 🔥

This aged like milk

It’s those big baller brand shoes. They messed his knees up.

I dont kick someone when they are down, but when I do..... I make sure the "I told ya so" will boost my fragile ego. You can't buy CLASS.

Bro just posted a vid running and dunking

This is the kind of ish that makes guys like Screaming A and Skip B despised by most pros and fans. He talking bout “keeping receipts” for predicting a guys career is over. In this day of hottakes on anything and everything to get extra clicks makes me long for the past era when not only the players but the sportscasters also loved the game. This dude acts like he’s the superstar talent when all he does is runs his mouth.

lonzo got 1 year left in his contract (player option). let him collect his bag, then retire.

This guy cant take an 'L' , Lonzo replied cause the source said he had a hard time standing up...that obviously was not the case. Stephen A really got into his feelings about Lonzo's reply smh.

The good thing is he’s only 26. So he has youth. When Zo was healthy man he was a legit knocked 3pt shooter and an all nba defensive player.

I hope he does get back, it’s crazy because he was just starting to do well. Prayers up for you Zo!!

As someone who had to give up basketball because of his knees (albeit at a much lower level) I feel for him. When I see that video, I see more desperation than confidence. Who cares about who was right or wrong. At this point all you can do is hope a player gets better.

Dancing a jig over someone's injury is pathetic, and shows Jason was right about you.

As a Laker fan I still can't believe we drafted Lonzo instead of Tatum or Fox 😪

Y’all remember Brandon Roy? He was a baller and probably the 3rd best shooting guard behind Kobe and DWade at the time! But had his career ended early due to bad knees too. Sucks man. Hopefully he can still enjoy his life after basketball and be able to run around with his kids.

SAS was voicing his concerns for Lonzo,he didn’t diss him at all,the players these days are just ultra sensitive

Even if you are right that he might not be back. Does not mean that we are celebrating the fact that you are correct Stephen A.

Despite not being able to play NBA level hoops, he still proved Stephen A wrong. Stephen A said he has trouble from the sitting position and he apparently did not. He may not be sprinting but reportedly he’s jumping and that’s huge!

Lmao SAS petty, but I ain’t mad at him 😂😂😂

I feel for lonzo, I liked him and his family soon as they stepped on the scene. I hope the big brother can recover!

"I don't know if he's stuck," Donovan said. "He is doing some shooting, some running, some jumping. He hasn't done any sprinting yet, that I know." Reading is essential

Attacking someone at their lowest is the lowest thing you could’ve done Stephen A

Stevie A has been getting trolled a lot but most of his reports are accurate. Him playing in college maybe not but his reports are mainly true. It's his job as well. People stop being butt hurt when he reports things

Stephen A u a comedian man! Wit intellect they can't mess witchu my brutha 😂😂😂

They way he 🧈 butter it up at the end. 😂😂😂😂

I like Stephen A. but he's really poking fun at Lonzo for being injured, just because he showed one of his reports to be inaccurate. The statement he made was that Lonzo "Couldn't get up from a sitting position", so Lonzo wanted to prove that he could. If you say something about a player publicly, they should be able to respond publicly.

Imagine its 2080 and you're seeing this video thinking is this how they used to talk back in the 2020s like how we think of how people talk back in the 1940s-60s

My guy Stephen A reminds me of Randle Weems from Recess. Love your show!

I’m not even a bulls fan, but watching Bro play was genuinely exciting

Prayers 🙏 for that young man get back healthy

When ZO comes back keep the same energy

Just leave the man alone, it’s gotta be hard enough on his mental. Come on Stephen A. You beating a dead horse.

Stephen A can be so petty. Lonzo was clearly emotional when he made that video while facing the possible end of his career. Not being able to continue in the NBA is probably devastating for him, and there’s no reason for Stephen A to keep giving updates to prove that he was right. He should take the high road for a change. Darn!

Stephen A literally gave the history of him and Lonzo Ball’s interactions and didn’t even see how he was wrong. Lmao talk about lacking self awareness. 1.) You said Lonzo was struggling to get up from the sitting position 2.) Lonzo showed you that standing on the injured knee alone that he was okay with getting up and sitting down 3.) You then said “that doesn’t mean you’re healthy” 4.) He never claimed to be healthy and ready to play… he just called you out on your bs “sources” that said he couldn’t sit down or stand up. Idk how you don’t see how you were wrong that entire interaction and kept trying to move the goalposts instead of admitting you were simply wrong about your claims.

Ja Morant was playing in the league, got in trouble, got kicked out, came back, got hurt, and went back out again before Lonzo was ever close to 100% in the last 12 months. It might really be time for him mang.

Stephen A still tryna get that exaggeration off. "When iiii said it..." That's not what people were mad at him about. They weren't mad he said Lonzo may never be the same. It was that one specific part 😂

I love listening to the TRUTH! TY SAS!

Let's pray for Lonzo. He deserves better!

I remember watching Lonzo lowlights after every game his rookie year

I remember that I thought Lonzo l was was coming back but Stephen a Smith said it how it is u could see lonzo ball struggling to stand up and sit down on that left leg he don't put pressure on it

Makes me sad. Not only as a Bulls fan but an NBA fan. He worked hard and built his own imagine and persona on the court after his father said wild things. He had the Bulls running on all cylinders when he was playing. Not saying we would have won a chip, but the Bulls looked poised to at least compete

I didn’t like how the video started because why does it matter if he’s not back at that exact time. It’s not like he’s not trying but I do love how it came back to positivity 🙏🏽. Keep doing ya thing Stephen A

Feel so bad for him man. Prayers for Lonzo

"I told you so”?Wish the kid good health and go about ya business this is getting nasty

Lonzo was the best glue guy in the NBA. Stats didn’t scream MVP but the results did! He had the Bulls as a top team in the East and now they’re barely a play in team. Lonzo is and was the true difference maker!

Stephen A. Smith is a smart man. He's a real one. Nothing disrespectful in his argument. Just Facts.

Lmao Billy Donovan a fool for this one 😂😂😂 he got yall going crazy

If he ain’t running by now it may realistically be over. 🙏🏽

I truly love how ended this video. I like Stephen A. Again

Wishing lonzo a speedy recovery. Nobody cares how good a journalist you are or receipts you keep..keep the peace especially with your platform

Lonzo jogging is still faster than everyone

People saying the bulls will be better with Lonzo but even if he returns he will never be the same because he’s returning from a 2 year injury

Damn SAS, can't you just say you wish the kid a speedy recovery instead of an "I told you so?" That was kinda lame but i guess it's your platform! Do what you like. 🤷🏾🎯

😂😂😂 this man be waiting for every players downfall

Never Give up Lonzo...Nobody understands your Purpose and Dreams like You Do...🙏🏽 For You💯🕊❤️🙏🏽😁🙌🏽🧨🎆☄️🌎🌏✈️❤️❤️❤️

Lonzo was hiding that pain getting up from that chair 🪑 in the video 🤣🤣

Idk why people are hating on stephen.. he had a major knee injury and i have as well from playing ball. Hes not hating on lonzo. Hes saying for his safety its not worth it to push his knees to the limit if theyre already not in good shape.

I remember when Lonzo was a FA I wanted the Celtics to sign him because he would've been the perfect PG to pair with Jaylen and Jayson, I'm so happy they didn't.

hope he comes back better than ever, would be a cool story. never liked injuries ruining careers.

They cleared him lil bruh

I’m saying it even tho it’s seemingly not getting better; Lonzo is coming back‼️assa bulls fan i need him to come back but more importantly i hope he gets right mentally bc ik this is messing with him😮‍💨😮‍💨

Keep receipts? Stephen A was still wrong about Lonzo getting up off the chair; obviously his sources were exaggerating and he took it as fact. So this is just an attempt to pat yourself on the back and say "I'm right".

This didn’t age well FAST‼️1 Week Later… Lonzo Kong sprinting and cutting 🤣 2 L’s from the same source just stop!

Leave Zion alone because he's on track this season and on the court unlike some thought 💯

I forgot he played for us.

😂 folks be so harsh by injuries shit is weird. Send prayers for recovery n keep it moving

I was distracted by the dumb, matching, bright tie and shirt combo 😂 Please stop this combo 💀

Bro getting up using 1 leg is killing me 🤣

This is why Kwame Brown and Zo keep heat’n you. Don’t kick a man while he’s down, G.

Lavar wasn’t lying…but he overhyped him. He said he was better than Curry…Yeah right!

I deadass forgot he was still playing in the NBA

It’s crazy how everytime they say he can’t do something he put out a video dispelling the rumors😂
