JJ Redick SLAMS Stephen A Smith "YOU NEVER PLAYED, Winston Salem State Don't Count" OVER LeBron 

He is just now figuring this out? ESPN is in the LeBron James business. This is how GSW snuck up out of nowhere to be a force in the NBA in the mid 2010s.

Jj right...don't nobody wanna keep hearing about the Lakers , LeBron, Tom Brady or Dallas everyday

“Ain’t nobody here to see you Otis” - David Ruffin

“South Dakota Winston Salem State”😂😂😂

I have to give this to JJ REDICK. He has experienced playing high level competitive basketball in the NBA, STEPHEN A has none of that and just sounds convincing because he delivers his OPINIONS (even if he's NO EXPERT) with conviction and confidence. STEPHEN A is full of himself and doesn't like to be UPSTAGED. It's FACT he's THE MOST UNETHICAL ANALYST, loves raising his voice, and almost always interrupts his colleagues while still talking. He does this to almost EVERYONE (PERK, JJ REDICK, SKIP, to name a few). Sadly, i don't think he'll change this BAD HABIT soon.

They need to put jj in the hall of fame the way he talking rn

Even though JJ went to Duke I have to agree with him. I would like to hear about other players and not just Lakers. I never knew Denver was this good. Great job Denver on sending cry baby home.

Get him JJ. I cannot stand Stephen A Smith. Everytime he gives a hot take i just sigh...

The disrespect toward Black American institutions is so overlooked🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️#fba

No slander of Winston Salem State University allowed.

I've always said that they focus on Lakers way too much, and their are 30 teams in the league, but Stephen A and Skip Bayless are stuck in the past, they won't let players grow the game pass MJ!

JJ Reddick is right about marketing. The NBA used to always play up the drama ahead of games with a cleverly written salvo prior to tip off and a cool musical score/jingle to get you excited. They can't be bothered to do that anymore.

JJ is real smart. This is going to help his platform more than anything.

Love It, go get em, keep him in his place 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Stephen A & Skip Bayless started this type sports tv. They deserve this type of treatment. It`s the monster they created.

JJ didn't play in the past either but he thinks Cousy's time is plumbers and firemen, and Lebron is more skillful than 90s Jordan. I'd like to see him get teleported to 1990 and get hammered by the Bad Boy Pistons, see how well he shoots after that

PEDS: Ended King James: No Excuse Stephen A Smith: Let’s talk about the winning teams: Denver Nuggets and the Miami Heat.

I like JJ Redick. He is a thinking mans analyst . Stephen A is just repeating the normal, nothing new and he is a mouthpiece for guys he likes. That is not journalis. Thats playing to the crowd. Whereas JJ gives you somethong to think about. JJ is a breath of fresh air. And he uses his mind. I am a Laker and Warriors fan and I agree with JJ. He keeps me informed. Where as I get more from JJ. Stephen A thinks he is a basketball player, but he is an overpaid analyst.

OMG I loved how JJ just completely dismiss Stephen A playing abilities and that lil Winston Salem State he went which he actually didn't play..🤔🤷

Stephen A didn't say anything outta pocket... he's just doing a debate show JJ seems like a hothead to me

None of the other analyst at ESPN get called out for not playing just SAS... 🤣🤣🤣🤣

My Dad used to buy us only Converse to play ball in, which is partially why I have bad feet now in my 40s. He didn't know no better. I appreciate his efforts.

Jj is right the thing is the other topics don’t generate ratings comments and views on social media!

A) Thats not true, The *MEDIA tells people through coverage who they should like and be interested in at a mass level. While at the Micro their is a more natural and organic deciaion of popularity that the Media refuses to cover if they do t deem them big enough or they simply dont like them and so they have total control over the mainstream. B) I am so tired of people who are WRONG being unable to appreciate and accept the fact that they are being faced with a problem and to respect that and accept it, rather than turning it into a personal attack or a fallacious argument , turning the issue into something that it had nothing to do with prior. Stephen A having a degree snd becoming successful was never in question or being attacked - Yet, when He is faced with the fact that HE DOESNT UNDERSTAND FULLY WHAT PLAYERS AT THIS KEVEL GO THROUGH ; He has to turn it into some weird fallacious attack and a displaced argument by bringing up his degree and success, as though then, he isnt wrong because of his degree and his position and therefore saying, he doesnt need to know whats what from the player perspective and therefor by proxy doesnt need to accept or understand J.J. Reddicks position and is then fully backed to dismiss his position and argument. C) The Media uses constant repetition as a way to propogandize a topic or a story, and then also uses it as a way of controlling the narrative of said story or topic, in order to try and be at the center of control and the center of being the ones who tell the masses whats popular , whos who and why ...regardless & *IN SPITE OF THE TRUTH*.

The sniff at the end is the icing on the cake

Amen. The NBA will be in trouble when lebron retires. The NBA does a horrible job marketing their teams.

💰 💰 💰 Talks

Go Go JJ!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

before steph curry and warriors in 2016 all espn media talk about lebron chasing jordan and forgot there 400 other players in nba for about his time in miami back to cleveland ,espn missed out on alot lengardy struff ,just talking about lebron james

I wish your mic volume was about 20% louder.

Give Denver Nuggets their due. They are ranked no.1 and they will get the ring. If miami gets it ill be surprised, but Butler and crew cant lose focus.

The big stars always got talked about the most but it has gotten worse over the last 25 years. In the 90s the average fan would know more bout Jovic & others that are good.

The Converse shoe was called, :Weapons? Bird and Magic wore them shoes.

Everything you said, is true. The establishment uses whoever will get them paid, right or wrong but it's the truth.

JJ is my guy 😂

AMEN JJ!! IT"S NO TEAM IN LEBRON!!

Jj still a rookie to the media game he just got schooled by Steven a

Man I don't think yall understand....it's Stephen a show I can't stand him but I definitely think jj Redick days are numbered...I'm sorry he won't that let statement slide ....he got of max he'll definitely do you too...

You do understand at one point circa 1939. Hitler questioned if he could see the future or if his will simply built the future.

How can you tell if people on TV are lying? They mouth open.

Big facts. JJ was on point. Why hasn't a Jamal Murray ever been selected for an ALL Star and he's been balling? Why do you think Jokic came out and told you Jamal is the best player on the team and the leader yet you only focus on Jokic.

JJ refuses to put the red nose on and act like a clown, like Steven A. does sometimes. JJ is a straight shooter. As a fan of B ball I love his prospective.

Well, there goes reddick’s time on espn. You can’t go after SAS or skip

If i owned ESPN. And i sat and heard a low level employee talk like its their company. Messages would be sent.

It's disservice to how good the Denver Nuggets are, but being undercut with the popularity of the Lakers.

JJ fights for those guys to get coverage because he was one of them. There are countless guys that without them the major stars wouldn’t be as successful (like JJ was for many teams). The league if full of pro ball players, but to let the sports shows tell it, there’s ten tops.

Stephen A didn't play and won just as many NBA Championships as JJ.

I feel JJ im a die hard cowboys fan and im sick and tired of them dominating the shows and we havent won shit. Last superbowl i was 12 my oldest just graduated high school and i will be 40 in August.

Something we all learned well from the first citizen. There will ALWAYS be dissenters until such a simulation is made where everybody gets to party and frolic.

Skip and shannon have lil wayne and snoop on on a pretty regular basis and theyve always understood their ownership in fox sports still.

Big Market Cities are always more attractive to Sports debate shows, advertisers, sponsors, tourism etc... Certain legendary individual players will always have more mass appeal than others. Superstars vs Star players. Thats why the superstar is the face of the league. We'll see who's next to carry the Baton.

when they talk about LeGotSwept losing in this western cof finals, they have to make sure they say he was injured. But all during the two rds. before, and the first couple of games in the series with the Nuggets, no one mentioned he had a injury. And no one is bringing up that point, like it's not a fact, like we haven't been watching the same games they have.

Well 20 years ago that was not the case because the people paid to discuss and promote the game didn't openly (for the most part) root for and against players, teams and markets and tell you who and what was important and not good. But that changed to where we are now so the media and league will only put certain, players, teams, franchises and markets on TV. The Celtics were not good mostly for the better part of 15 years between the Bird, Parish and McHale era till the Pierce, Garnett, Allen and Rondo but when they did something they were talked about. The Golden State Warriors outside a few seasons of "Run TMC" or "We Believe" were not the greatest team but when they were doing something they were talked about, then they got Steph, Klay and Draymond got together and became great. Between Barkley leaving and Iverson getting drafted were not good but they were talked about when they did something. The Charlotte Hornets with Zo, LJ, Muggsy, Dell Curry and later on with Glen Rice and Vlade Divac they were talked about. What grew the game was shows like "Inside Stuff" on NBC, and "NBA 2 Night" on ESPN used to talk about every team and not only the star players. So people became fans of all the players and let you decide as a fan. But the shows now tell who is important, who to like, who not to like and regurgitate the same played out topics 50 times a day on all the shows. I thank God for RU-vid so we as fans can choose to watch and here about anything we want to see and here. Also non mainstream sports websites.

The face on Stephen a lol

Jj spitting per usual

Which just makes it even sadder that jesse owens would rather have a beer with the fuhrer than fdr

Ya’ll out here disrespecting SAS when he averaged more college points than Kobe and LeBron combined!

I noticed Steven A backs down from JJ, and he's a bit afraid to come at him. just wondering if anyone else noticed it?

Protip from the fuhrer sas. You need shirts. It really helps with the....dissenters....such as jj.

Basketball is like poetry some dudes can put the ball in tha basket but are they triggering a reaction from the audience. You want “ooohs” an “ahhhs” anybody can hit a jump shot, but when you do it from half court and turn your back before the swish….that’s poetry, not ever great player offers that

I olny watch to see JJ kill Stephen A sometimes 😊

They both right in my opinion

People think Stephen A and ESPN are stupid, it’s because that’s whose tuning in. These people check the demographics and see whose tuning in, and it’s not nuggets fans.

Disrepecting an HBCU smh

These players kill me acting like you need a Masters Degree to understand the game 😂

The appropriate answer is none of the above. I choose patton.

JJ is right!!!

SAS doesn't want to talk about what he doesn't know about which is a lot. So it's him screaming the same bs about the same teams everyday

JJ need to talk about other players on his podcast then, because I don't give a damn about Michael Porter Jr.... The dude is always hurt.. That's his whole story.... We just talked about him...Next

Let that have been jay Williams he should of been yelling

Excuses if u are in the court u play no matter what jj defense lebron because he a fan

I will bet anybody on ESPN? Who was the first NBA player to sign a million dollar contract?

He off the show if u don't agree with him u off the show asked max

We're tired of the same old things . We're tired.

And there goes jj I liked him 👋

The only problem with these new stars they choose (the media)to uplift over other players is that these newer stars don't stand out amongst their peers anywhere but on paper. Example: On paper LeBron James is an undisputed star In action he's boring basic unenergetic and not explosive when he needs to be During Jordan,Kobe,Magic,Bird etc era they were not only stars on paper. They were a sight to see in real time. Tim Duncan has 5 rings. No one ever enters him into the G.O.A.T conversation. Why? Because as good as he was on paper he wasn't exciting to watch. These newer stars including LeBron Stephen, Jokic etc are just basic in real time. Are these newer stars top players? Certainly Are they explosive players and fun to watch? Just barely. My advice. Lay off the whistle. Stop letting the league and the refs and the media choose who the stars are. Let the players play hard like back in the day. And let them fight to rise to the top on their own. Stop letting Nike tell yall who gets the calls and who doesn't. The fans can tell a manurfactured champ when they see one.

Talking about a 40 year old who is on his way out everyday is not the way to sell the nba, wonder why numbers are down?

SAS don't know what the hell he's talking about.

in all sports shows will always talk bout the bug stars lol.... for 20 years lbj has been talked about lol..in cowboys are america team lol

tbh JJ's smart ass comment wasn't necessary

That was a cheat shot JJ took at Stephen A. about him not playing the game and only playing in college, JJ did have a valid point about talking about other teams. However he played in the NBA but if the truth be told there were a lot of players on the street better than JJ because he was a spot shooter period.

The 1st player ever?

Didn't Reddick say Bird wasn't one of the very best players , ever? This "You didn't play in the NBA..." argument is, also, really stoopid. And, yes, I do have autocorrect.

Real talk.Denver was a sleeper nobody heard of because these fools feed into the superstars and drama too much gossipping.

He gon get jj fired😂😂 jj be pulling his card

I can’t listen to JJ because he’s biased he doesn’t respect the older generation i can’t get with tht

Jj be the main one talking about lebron

My racist grandfather who always claimed there wasnt enough to share. And died in 1995 would completely agree jj. He has done well.

JJ Redick is a former player, who comes from the perspective of a former player. Everything athletes absorb, we're told what it's really like from his eyes. Athletes may not all be the well spoken, but their perspective is based on REAL EXPERIENCES, not SPECULATION for headlines... I Ride with JJ Redick and any player who went through the trenches all day to speak on it nationally.

FRESHER MEAT?! Ayooo

JJ can say all that foolishness, but I'm willing to bet, the advertisement dollars for the Heat vs Nuggets, is vastly different, from the Lakers vs Celtics. JJ Reddick argument is like the WNBA saying they deserve more money, when they're not getting national support. You can market it all day, but fans don't support small markets. Neither do the player's, when given the choice, with no restraints, they're going to the big markets.

Nice jj

I think JJ is better as a coach he's too authentic as a former player with his commentary and therefore is in the wrong arena when it comes to broadcasting.

I am glad Denver nuggets in finals...reaching for Lakers or Nick's.. warriors....hating on spurs...wtf..

Why you whispering I can't hear one thing you saying

Basketball is not a one man team-

Killed Steven A Smith again and he is intimidated by JJ Redick for some reason. Please wake up folks ,Steven A Smith is one of the executive producers of his own show,this is why the topics are what they are. He even joked about it before “ Straight Cheeks “ you would definitely think Steven A played pro football and Basketball. He’s always over the top.

To listen to Stephen A Smith talk you'd think he was as great at playing basketball as Michael Jordan in his prime !

She's perfect & doesn't get enough shine💯

Someone needs to go at JJ. What has he won???
