Here is Stephen A Smith in 2018 saying the Suns have to draft DeAndre Ayton over Luka Doncic and there’s no debate. 😂

@lakersJlJl @stephenasmith And he’s still doing stupid shit 8 years later. Gets dumber and dumber as that years go on

@stephenasmith Wasnt this the consensus back then?

@stephenasmith This guy has no clue about anything! And he absolutely sucks at basketball!

@stephenasmith Jokes on us hes the one getting millions for talking complete shit all day

@stephenasmith @stephenasmith ball knower 😂🙄🙄

@stephenasmith I want to play this back for him and make him accountable for this take.

@stephenasmith No chance Luka was going #1 at the time even though I hate Ayton he was very good in college

@stephenasmith @stephenasmith has long been an advocate…for himself and himself only. If he says something and it’s wrong, which is most the time? He says that’s what he really meant. The guy is full of misinformation, phoniness, and hate.

@stephenasmith He is just entertainment that's all. He isn't knowledgeable about the game

@stephenasmith

@stephenasmith If anything this shows how they build you up to break you down once they become pros

@stephenasmith Y'all need to shut up. Luka has not won anything yet in the Lakers uniform. Until he wins something y'all need to just shut up

@stephenasmith Why do you care about the opinion of an idiot?

@stephenasmith Racist fuck.

@stephenasmith This was sort of obvious back then. Stephen A probably saw luka play basketball 5 times(if that)

@stephenasmith Ayton was an absolute beast in college. Everyone thought he deserved the #1 pick.

@stephenasmith He was clueless in 2018 also? Just kidding..haven’t watched an espn afternoon show since he came on

@stephenasmith He doesn't know anything about ball just the most stupid takes so he can get clicks that's what he's about now. He makes his money and he is a celebrity

@stephenasmith Well, Ayton did help the suns get to the finals before Luka did. And combined they’ve both appeared in one finals a piece. So it’s hard to say Phoenix or Stephen A was wrong. 🤷🏾‍♂️. Cause it’s not like Luka is gonna be gettin to the finals anytime soon and clearly neither is Ayton

@stephenasmith As poorly as the Suns and Kings picks have aged, everybody had Ayton and Bagley at the top of that draft.

@stephenasmith He’s an idiot. He also cried when the Knicks drafted Porzingis over Justice Winslow.

@stephenasmith That’s the reason to stop listening to these clowns.

@stephenasmith Ayton helped phoenix get to the finals and he had a great season that year idk what happened after that but let’s not act like Ayton wasn’t an intriguing prospect

@stephenasmith

@stephenasmith SAS has probably at least an hour long highlight reel of being completely wrong.

@stephenasmith Luka was the MVP of the ACB league in Spain. When I saw that I knew that he would definitely be a really good NBA player. Most American hoop fans have no idea of the level of play in the ACB so that meant nothing to them.

@stephenasmith He’s good at bad takes.

@stephenasmith I mean they both been to an NBA FINALS 😂

@stephenasmith Imagine saying you need to Draft someone because "They are right down the road.." 😵‍💫🥴 So the Chicago Bulls should've passed on Michael Jordan for someone closer right up the road???

@stephenasmith This is also the guy telling us to buy CarShield 😂

@stephenasmith Normalizing opinions of idiots that have never experienced anything regarding basketball operations is insane.

@stephenasmith Stop acting like this was a bad take phoenix was mediocre before Anton, now imagine having 2 defensive liability guards. Ayton played his role and because of that he didn't develop how ppl wanted same like bridges which says a lot more about phoenix than the players

@stephenasmith He is not a scout. He is paid to give opinions....

@stephenasmith

@stephenasmith Loud and wrong like always. @stephenasmith
