Stephen A. Smith BLASTS The BET Awards For Including OJ Simpson In Its In-Memoriam Tribute 

Don't mention Kyrie Irving because NONE of you had the balls to criticize Stephen A. to his face when he sat on that couch. And you should've.

This man acts like he’s a spokesperson for black people. Man sit down

Stephen A Smith should be criticizing BET for not giving Stevie Wonder his lifetime achievement award yet

Has SAS ever thought we don’t care what mainstream media thinks

Respect to Melissa for reppin a old iPhone 💯

“I’m not black I’m OJ……. OK.”

This debate is FULL of holes

He’s only worried how the white man feels

Nothing about that awards was black excellence

I thought his main point was that OJ never celebrated being black and distanced himself from the black community as a whole. So why is BET celebrating him? Was he not clear on that?

This sounded more like”we don’t like Stephen A”. Just say that 😂

11,236 rushing yards 2,142 receiving yards 990 kick return yards Totaling 14,368 all-purpose yards in 135 games. 76 total touchdowns 61 rushing 14 receiving 1 kick return

SAS is the biggest raccoon on tv right now

Dana white and Jerry Jones wont get the same ridicule frm SAS tho...

I thought oj said he's not black? How's BET giving him stuffs?

The Kyrie take would be accurate if SAS hadn’t already publicly apologized to Kyrie on multiple occasions. I’m not a fan but we can still tell the truth lol

Your vibe is infectious, love watching your content!

When it’s OJ “he was tried and acquired” when it’s man man “f**k the judge and the jury”. My people a trip lol

Everybody keeps skipping right to that he was acquitted. Nobody seems to wanna deal with the fact that he declared he was not black and that he had nothing for Black people to do.

He making it seem like they gave OJ an award, it was an RIP lol not a nobel. Also don't forget SAS comments on the MMA boss beating his wife.

He didn’t go that far with Ben Rothlesberger and his “r” word accusation(s). He didn’t go that hard on Brett Favre either.

But.....OJ wasn't really messing with us until the trial 🤷🏿‍♂️

Lmao that part from Ish is the perfect example of amazing message…piss poor messenger 😆

Stephen tap danced about Jerry jones

I think Stephen A is bugging the _ _ _k out too.

It’s funny how nobody but cam and mase was fucking with oj but now that Stephen a Smith said something y’all act like oj was be love by the culture. Which he damn sure want 😂😂😂 he ain’t say shit wrong

The same OJ that said he wasn’t black he’s OJ….same OJ that literally didn’t $&@? with black people at his height ….SAS has always had some wild takes but he’s at least been consistent. His Kyrie attack was personal and neither has been open as to why….SAS isn’t changing….:.it just shows y’all didn’t watch him from his super early days and only pay attention when he says something “you” don’t agree with. How can he be dancing for the higher ups when his show (where he said this) has zero to do with espn 😆

So y'all are saying if u think oj is guilty ur some kind of sell out or something??? Are u kidding me?

Im sure that getaway in the white bronco screamed innocent! lol

Y’all bugging SAS has put on more black people than Tyler Perry ( an exaggeration to make a point). When Steve Nash got the Nets job he talked about all of the black qualified coaches that deserved the job over Nash. I could name countless times he has stood up for black people. OJ Simpson wanted nothing to do with black people and even disavowed himself as a black man, he’s OJ. When the jurors were scheduled to tour his home they replaced all the white pictures with black pictures and art to disguise who he actually was. He murdered two people and I agree he was not worthy of recognition in the Black community. Has SAS made missteps, sure but this narrative that he is somehow compromised morally is totally false.

"Not like US" movement...Carry on with energy... Kendrick gave BET the energy.....carry on.....

RIP The Juice

Back to life Back to reality 😂😂😂

I don't agree with SAS on quite a bit of stuff but he's dead on here. It's pretty common knowledge that OJ got off due to his money and having the dream team of attorneys. He'll he eventually found himself in prison later anyway for another incident. The dude was crazy. So what about when R.Kelly passes, will there be a memoriam for him? Lol

Even if we don’t believe oj was a killer he was an abuser his first wife talked about how he abused her and he abused Nicole, why celebrate him

The frank toss was crazy

So let me get this straight. It was okay when Jay Z said it, but not SA? I don't rock with SA, but how are black folks gonna honor a man who didn't want anything to do with black people? That just doesn't make any sense.

Don’t forget the Dana White shit lol😂

Steven A sounding like Samuel L. Jackson' s Character from Django, smh

Do y’all remember when O.J. Simpson himself said that he is not black he’s O.J. Simpson go look up the clip he had nothing to do with the black community. He only came to us when he got in trouble.😂 plus he married his white woman Nicole and theirs nothing wrong with that, but he was with majority whites he had nothing to do with us 😂but he did beat the case and was Judge by his peers, and was acquitted 😂 but what do you think? I must’ve really forgot go look it up. Do you research he should not have been at the BET awards. If you don’t want to be black, we don’t need you. And I’m black with a Mixed son.🔥

Stephen A’s definitely responding to this 😂

Yall really feel the need to champion someone like that when we have so many better men/women to praise in our community?

2:34 thank you Ish! That constant shit against Kyrie had me tired of SAS shit

I do. I believe he know who did it tho😂

And you know it touched him. Cause ever since T.O told Steven A that Max more black then he is his whole swag switch up for about 5-6 weeks😂

I just got rid of my phone after 7 years, so I feel ya Mel.

I understand what everyone is saying and I can also understand why people are so upset but SAS said that the main reason why he didn’t like OJ being acknowledged was because OJ said I’m not black I’m OJ

When some of us make it out of the field onto the porch, we try to smuggle the goods back to the field. Then there's the ones who wanna keep tipping massa. SAS needs a good checking. Just like a car, when it starts to roll crooked, a wheel alignment is due.

Yeah but if Diddy gets in a car accident tomorrow, should he be honored after the Cassie beating. Yes or No?

Ish always keeps it real. Best member of the cast.

Love the pod but I hate the fact that yall didn’t confront Stephen A about his ridiculous takes when he sat with yall. He buggin fr with this OJ take

I really can not wait for SAS to be humbled

SAS actually did publicly apologize to Kyrie and his father. Also....."I'm not black, I'm OJ"

They missed SAS whole point. His point was that OJ didn’t mess with black ppl when he was on top. “I’m not black, I’m OJ”. So why show him love now is what he said. I don’t mind them honoring OJ but I don’t think SAS if out of line for his take.

“I’m not black….. I’m OJ”

No matter what happened in his personal life OJ deserved to be acknowledged!

I agree with Stephen a smith

I love Melyssa doin her job she so cute 🥰 lol. Keep it up

Kyrie, KD, LeBron, Kwame Brown, Jalen Brown, the list goes on.....he tried Ohtani had to publicly apologize, hasnt mentioned his name since, Steve frim Django-ed for Jerry Jones, Donald Trump, AND-after watching Dana White smack the fire out his wife TWICE-stood ten toes down for him, juat to name a few. These examples alone speak volumes for his lack of integrity and morals.

Get em Ish!!! SAS will be on Fox News talking about this stuff watch. And SAS only addressed how he got personal with Kyrie after Kenny Smith put him on blast during the nba playoffs. And that was after he denied it multiple times. He denied it to after Jay Williams called it out on the show.

Flip made some great points

Black people: “he was found innocent!” Keep that same energy for George Zimmerman and the people that killed Emmet Till 😂😂😂😂

No. 1 pass giver

Being arrested and immediately released is not going to jail

Oj obviously did it.

Joe gotta get Umar on the pod !!

"I'm not black I'm OJ." Quote. Domestic abuser...found guilty of unlawful restraint, kidnapping. I wouldn't honor OJ. He was good at football. What else did he do for the community? Two things csn be true. SAS ain't for us he's blacksplaining.

RIP Uncle O

BET is black excellence? We need to be ashamed if it is. Wasn’t the “community” celebrating OJ’s acquittal 😂😂 we are clowns & hypocrites

As long as Steven a Smith never gets inducted in any type of award ceremony, I can live with what he said! But when is this man going to lose his job?

Iphone 8s? Lol

All I know is, OJ Simpson was found not guilty. 🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️

I'm pretty sure SAS apologized to kyrie

Just because he was wrong about Kyrie...and Jerry Jones...doesn't make him automatically wrong about OJ...

We don't respect the swagger because he isn't the one playing. He's just yelling about it

Tell em cuz

SAS got all the grace for white folks. He can't offer a single benefit of the doubt for anyone black.

ISH 100 on a comment/ opinion for once. The world can change.

GLEN RODGERS ADMITTED TO DOING IT

Add him trying to hate on Will Smith.

You defend Jerry Jones, try to humiliate Kyrie Irving for 2yrs., & now shitting on OJ Simpson.... That guy been sold out, he's been bought long before this TBH🤷🏾‍♂️

So in other words we shouldn’t mention Kobe 🤷🏿‍♂️

He's got a point. Why? Cause he ran for 2000 yards 100 years ago. OJ said he wasn't Black when he was alive. Keep that energy

She does do it the baddie way

Him.that guy😊

SAS has always been this way..trust me ive been watching him since day one on tv..the money only enhanced who he was..good or bad, he’s always been his own character

Isshhhhh 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I think Queensflip right about him being compromised

For all those outraged, he was acquitted of his charges. He’s still the greatest running back of all time. 2000 yards rushing in a 14 game season. Back when they didn’t even have padding

SAS has apologized the Kyrie situation….. Now joey is saying something. Why didn’t yall play those clips when he was on???????

Y’all do understand that his job is be divisive right?

Shout to the cast! Rip juice 🥤 🕊 and sas is real goofy 🤡. Oh an them bron 7's nfw clean.. 🔥🔥

They could’ve at least used ojs old pictures that was nebulous negligence so I get it. It’s presentation that matters and counts which is what creates these perceptions. OJ may have beaten his case. But when you flaunt it around. Expect that perception to be bad. Regardless if OJ has been a renowned sports player; it doesn’t change the fact many see he got away with murder. And when you use recent pictures that’s going to set people off. Now if it was oj in sports uniform I don’t think many would be pissed. Because they’d recall he’s an athlete or he once was. Many don’t know he’s an athlete, many only know the double murder story.

2024 movies I guarantee you they’re using an iphone 6, that joint still be having the home button on there

Wait, do people think OJ was actually innocent?

OJ may have been innocent. But ppl forget OJ saying “I’m not black, I’m Oj”. But in the same token, the fact Steve saying he’s a murderer, is crazy. Especially when they hired a serial killer to work at that home. And never got brought up til the trial was well over. I’m officially done trying to understand Steve.

He most definitely apologized to Kyrie

Columbus neck tie

Ish real loud now, where was this when he was on that couch?

Ish stay wrong about this Kendrick Drake rivalry. It’s bigger than status. That’s that science over arts philosophy.
