Kenny Smith Walks Off the Inside Set In Support of NBA Players | NBA on TNT 

for real. scummy move.

If you think about it, it's a 200 iq move cuz he still gets paid

Lol true dat

He probably didn't want to spend 3 hours sitting there talking about political nonsense and a shooting where none of the facts had been released yet. After the dust cleared, turns out Jacob Blake had a knife and admitted to that. He came at the cop with a knife. So we had months of riots largely over stuff like this and Breonna Taylor, whose boyfriend pointed a gun at the cops. People have lost their minds. We need more Jesus.

Called making a statement LIVE ON AIR

Barkley started drinking coffee as he walked off 😂

😂😂😂

Hilarious too that Shaq talks immediately about unity. I bet Kenny probably thought it was a betrayal and made himself the victim.

Caucasians are so annoying

Funny how the shooting was ruled justified by the Democrat run DOJ. All these shananigans for nothing.

Exactly

No one talks about this. I totally forgot about this.

😂😂😂😂

😂😂😂😂

You gotta be Caucasian that wasn’t even funny

​@@hawanyamomahmath1489 it definitely was funny

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣that would’ve been HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!!!

Shaq would have autism if he did that

How is this funny?

😂😂😂😂

Lolol

One of the best

He's a true professional and genuine at what he does, that's why he always seems comfortable handling tough situations.

He’s Amazing 💯

I like Ernie RS 💯

He's an example of a man with unabashed integrity and dignity.

@SLT SCHOOL OF TRUTH!!!!: This was like watching a staged show. I have a feeling Shaq dosen’t agree with what Kenny and the players did. However he does respect their decision and choices(views).

Also Charles has said he believes TV is too powerful of a platform to remove yourself from. He thinks being on TV and voicing your opinions does a lot better than doing a symbolic walk out and being off air.

Funny how the shooting was ruled justified by the Democrat run DOJ. All these shananigans for nothing.

@@smokeyfire3957 don't believe the hype. They're all in the same gang, or clan...

@@ericmcgowan1993huh

I think it was more out of disgust.

Don't forget shaq pushing he's glasses back to place and asking "Chuck whats the next plan"

@K B don't ever refer to EJ as "the white dude"

Shaq and Chuck both realized Kenny was pulling a bogus attention grabbing stunt. Could’ve stayed home to boycott and made a public statement in support... OR when he arrived to building could’ve informed team... OR when he was getting MICd he would’ve realized I can’t be here... Nope, let’s wait for cameras to roll so I can be applauded for being a socially conscious person. Like Shaq said, don’t take away from message & issue. Vote racists out of office and make necessary changes to avoid these murders.

Ikr

Unbelievable it's like have no shame in what true leader represents but is ok for1 day u get to keep your job cause it means more in paperwork to get rid of u u r not a leader

They don't care about him as much 😭

Should’ve fired that bald role player

chuck wanted to laugh so bad

You people really love Uncle Chuck.

Some of them will. And even if they dont care, their community leaders might care when nba teams start taking their business elsewhere

I think they will. The cops out there who buy their kids Lebron jerseys and bet on their favorite black NFL players on fantasy, yet wont second guess gunning down and killing unarmed black citizens on the street will. Thats what this is all about.

Not only did he wait for the broadcast to pull this stunt but he literally waited for his turn on the roundtable lol so performative

@@spicerc1244 lol. I bet Shaq and Charles called Kenny afterwards and was like "bruh? who u kidding?".

Get back to work lol

Lets be honest, most of these players just didn't wanna play. They've already been paid. It didn't hurt them a single bit to boycott the season.

So you can’t be rich and care about people??

vvrriissvvllaadd says the dude on RU-vid lol you’re a joke

Most aren’t privileged enough to be able to walk off of their jobs because they are upset about something. They just get to say and do anything they want and no one ever asks them a tough question.

@Tom Somhairle I am black and it doesn't make much sense to me, either. He's made more money than I will ever see in my lifetime, yet he's oppressed 🙄. Okay bruh, get a real job then.

@Tom Somhairle hes standing up and using his voice for those who cant

@Tom Somhairle that's true tho. Have you seen breonna Taylor being murdered for no reason or George Floyd getting kneed on just because he's black and the officer didn't like him? There are many instances of cases where black people get more harsher sentences than white folks. Police are heavily biased and need to be uprooted and remade

@@Iwillroastthesocksoffyoass I would be irritated. Like bruh, communicate with us before you do something like that. It makes us look bad because we are a team on this show.

Yeah came off a lil selfish

Yeah cus then they’re gonna be questioned on why they didn’t leave

I think the knew he was going to leave. They just didn't want to do it. Like with the games, they say they respect the decision, not that they agree with it. Why didn't they do something when TNT presented Giannis with the DPOY? And, before bascketball being entertainment, it's their job.

If it was a regular person you wouldn’t be here commenting about it on RU-vid. Black people are fed up and the system needs to change.

Honestly, Kenny could've made it known prior that he would be absent from the show. It would've been better, this was just awkward.

@1lastsht He makes a living talking about "men" who play a child's game for a living. Talk about nonessential. He's simply taking up space.

@1lastsht Well, since you attacked me, I will respond. I have a graduate degree in math and have done two ironman triathlons(140.6) and 19 half-ironmans(70.3). I've also done many marathons and endurance swims. In my triathlons I have competed against a former NHL star, UFC fighter Nick Diaz, former football player Hines Ward, and not surprisingly no NBA players. Basketball players are soft and wouldn't last two minutes in the cold water.

These protests just prove that there is no such thing as “white privilege” only economic privilege. If anyone leaves there job to protest they would get fired

@M Batch but the players don’t need to worry about their money, most of them r set for life..... only if their not dumb and just spend it everywhere

Steve Bob depends how easily replaceable you are ... they can’t find NBA players so they can kind of decide what they want to do to an extent ... whereas if you’re a janitor at the airport, “ok man, good luck finding new employment”

@@onthedaily well shooting a man in the back 7 time is very rascist

@@johnnyhughes5534 should have consulted with his team before he did that. Now it looks like Charles earnie and Shaq dont feel the same way because they didn't walk out. You mean a white man shooting a black man 7 times in the back is racist? So if it was a black man that shot him 4 times it would not be racist? I think shooting 7 times was too much. He ran to his car opened the front door to grab something. Cmon. Any cop no matter of color would have felt threatened if that was the case. What if he was having a gun? His body language showed different.

@@onthedaily 7 times man come on he was running so happens all this cops killing black men are white how u know how they feel maybe they afraid of losing a job I seem vedios of white men shooting cop before he shot him he told him what he was going to do but the cop still let the man grab his gun walked to his car shooting at the cop car cops shooting black men in there sleep but I'm happy that the world see what going here in the US white men such as yourself see to and cover your eyes and say I don't know what's going on u just mad cuz Kenny stand for something

how do people hear one line and make this kind of thing up

That’s true

🤦🏽‍♀️😩 Look Kenny’s head was about to explode ( his words) so he headed out

Man, that was funny! I couldn't help think about the "Last Dance" when Scottie Pippen quit on his team and did not want to go in because Phil did not design the play for him to shoot the last shot. Shaq, Ernie, and Chuck looked at Kenny the same way the Chicago Bull teammates looked at Scottie. They were in disbelief, disappointed, and shocked.
