Stephen A. Smith Reveals Why He Avoided The Breakfast Club, Talks Antonio Brown, Melo + More 

i wonder where those guys making fun of him are now

Regardless of how he acts and his way to talk about players, he still has the most viewed sports analysis show on ESPN, he shouldnt care who laughs to be honest, he is doing his job right

roger morales 13:47 - 14:09

@@crowns9966 I see and appreciate your statement of facts and his greatness and just like you said, he is definitely is leaving a lasting legacy in an industry, and has brought it forward for everything he has done and continues to do for broadcast journalism. I would be curious about the first part of your statement where you lead with "Regardless" and also maybe spelling out the "how he acts" and "the way to talk about players" that you mentioned. For example, I'll mention a couple of my ESPN favorites, though the roles they are remembered for are probably a bit different: like if we are talking about Stuart Scott R.I.P, he mixed his radar for the current social fun trends and love for sports to open doors to new audiences because of how fun it was to hear him deliver over sportscenter highlights. And then someone like Mike Greenberg who is kind of just a geeky guy who might over-use literary references lol and how everyone who appears on his show embraces how out of the loop he is and everyday they joke with him about how he's a bit out of that loop, regardless if that person is Dan Orlovksy, Jalen Rose, whoever the female co-host for the day, or whoever is a guest; all of that has production quality and fun and positivity. I just get curious when someone leads with "Regardless" because it implies that there is something incorrect about the way he does his job, but for me I just think of Stephen A. as straight up legend in broadcast journalism because of how charismatically he does deliver a message. I'm definitely not one to throw digital hands on the internet or twitter fingers as you can tell lol but I'm just always curious to see and hear and welcome others points of view

Great interview 👌🏾

He was on Ggn with snoop

Robert Thomas he got in trouble for saying he’s an ass man. Lol

angelo belcher nigga the only thing Stephen A has said about the Ganga is that you shouldn’t be risking your multimillion dollar career over it. Which really he’s right. They can smoke all they want in the off season but chooses to do it during the season where they randomly drug test. Not only that but the first few violations of a drug test don’t even really count. They’re more like warnings so it’s really any athletes fault as to why they are in the position they’re in to keep it a band

angelo belcher he's an analyst & entertainer at the end of the day. His personality brings views for the network & creates conversation. You act like he's not supposed to have an opinion or has to side with the majority 😅 Your type be some #OverlyEmotionalWeirdOnes frfr 😰

That's a professional they was dealing with, they didnt want not smoke, this niggad will talk you into a coma

Vic D right!!!

He's much better here than he's on his show.

@@omieg89 nah think skip and charles 😂😂

Real talk

No he says a lot of uneducated stuff about Kaepernick and he lets that white boy from Texas talk fully racist shit without stepping to him.... but he is not a malicious Uncle Tom or sellout

@@LloydAlmighty I Know. My point is that in his moment, he still had the class to acknowledge Skip Bayless when he didnt have to. Shows you the kind of man he is.

@Jahnell Anthony Parkinson he has to create an argument on his show. He definitely b.s's sometimes

Jahnell Anthony Parkinson Whats that gotta do with him putting Stephen A. on?

@J P that's the point. Stephen a Smith was just a reporter on basketball. Once he was on first take he became a tv personality

I never drop jewels. They stay in my safe. But I dropped facts. Yes sir.

KeepsItG great observation

Media trained

Great public speaker

Ummm, what's so amazing about it? Everyone doesn't speak uhhhh... that way.

14:30 15:35 & 17:27 twice after

kujo1999 Yeah much respect man 💯💯✊🏽

I wouldn't call him humble, but he's not cocky either. He knows exactly how much he's worth, which is a lot.

So I'm assuming that prior to this interview you had reached the limit of respect you could have for Stephen A..

Absolutely agreed

You have a low level of respect i 👀

Donte Gist not that hard of a pick when it’s basically them or the cowboys...

Who is the highest paid

@@pacovega5065 right lol

Im pretty sure he is the highest paid lol

Who cares whos the highest paid.... hes clearly not underpaid and everyone is happy, quit watching other peoples pockets. Why do you have that mentality for?? How does it benefit anyone or whos complaining??? Why??? Theres millions of people who actually do great things for the human race and save lifes and protect etc, those are the real underpaid people...

Uncle Shay Shay?? Oh hell yes

Uncle Shay Shay, get it right bro!

Jason H I thought the same thing lol

This is the more relevant theme that I gathered. Use the negative circumstances such as bullying and mistreatment as a tool in a positive way to better yourself and not use it in a way that is harmful to yourself or others.

Dedric Small for real👌🏿 and a bit inspiring too

Get a million views your going to get atleast a thousand dislikes

Agreed! I'd rather have shannon Shay Sharpe he's more relatable than Stephen A. Scared of Michelle beadle Smith. No diss but Shay stays true to the streets and in the show bizz. Idc what nobody say

gary funderburk word. I feel like Stephen A is a yes man for white supremacy. For example, he won’t do something like jemele hill did. He’s a cornball brother

@@104copyTHAT jamelle the same if not worse she downed the black man in general for what some bums do yet we not all as she described. Google what she said and judge yourself

gary funderburk She has held not only black men accountable for some of the issues, but black women as well. understand that the system is flawed but you can’t put 100% of the blame on the system itself

Sharpe don't need to come to NY right now. The Griselda Gang might pull up with shits

Jonathan Iboa That’s respect. He doesn’t respect anyone he goes at.

No envy do that shit ....you say something prolific and envy go to the next question......he dont even listen to answers

He had to go get ready for first take

It's a shame he had to go to work, you could see he comfortable talking for days and actually has shit to say

M Dot2210 facts, I could listen to dude talk for a couple hours. Dropping nothing but gems

U have too much free time

@@mandlasibanda7459 almost cant believe the 1st grade reading comprehension in 4th grade thing. He's too good of a talker

Facts! But that's why he has the money he has.

Hahaha... fak! I felt that too

He broke it down so simple!

Its the sameway you should think about making $50,000 a year. Maybe you taking home $30,000 after taxes but then you have health insurance, home insurance and car insurance. So after taxes and insurance you have $20,000 to eat for an entire year.

Income vs Outgo

Been a wrap for me ever since Undisputed aired.

He got offered 28 million for 3 years in 2016 from FOX and ESPN immediately offered him an additional 10 million on his contract with Stock options. They knew he is the only thing keeping ESPN #1

Well since ESPN and fox are owned by Disney now, it might be a lot easier for him to move to FS1 or something else that might give him even more visibility
