Mike Breen on Bam's 83 "You know what? People love to be outraged. That's just what it is today. I can understand…it was made a mockery down the stretch…not the normal thing you see in an NBA game. [But] this is a guy who represents the very best of the NBA, the way he carries himself, the kind of teammate he is, the work ethic…Nothing but a great ambassador for the NBA, a high character individual, and his story is amazing. So for him & the Miami Heat fans to have a night like that, I thought that was wonderful…I'm not trying to cop out by saying they're both right, but sometimes there's a gray area…and we don't have to be outraged by everything"

Stephen A. Smith reveals a former football player with his own podcast told him the “truth ain’t meant to be told” when Republicans do something right. This story begins in Vegas, when the football player confronted Smith, saying: “Yo, man, you sound like one of them [Republican].” Smith replied: “I don’t give a damn what you say I sound like.” The football player got brutally honest with Smith and said: “Look, bro, let me, let me keep it a buck with you and just tell it to you like this.” “We are living in very serious times.” “‘The truth ain’t meant to be told sometimes.’” That last statement stopped Smith in his tracks. He responded: “‘Wait a minute, what you talking about?’” The former football player replied: “‘I don’t give a damn what it is that they’re doing right is nothing compared to what they’re doing wrong, therefore you should never say they’re doing something right.’” “‘I’m swearing to you, this is what he said,’” Smith attests. “I'm not gonna say his name cause I don’t know if he wants me to do that.” Chilling if true. I wonder who Smith could be talking about here… because there are only so many former football players with their own podcasts.

Jabari Smith is having a career season averaging a career best in points, and field goal percentage. I asked Jabari about his aggressiveness this season and ability to shoot over any defender. Smith pointed out that he has played like this in high school and college but he had to adapt in the NBA when you are not the main focus on offense. “That’s always been my game. It’s just on me to figure out different ways to get back to it without the offense being ran through you and every play being for you.”

Stephen A. Smith on LeBron James and Steph Curry pairing, what that does for ratings in the NBA: “I mean, you talk about box office appeal. You talk about a situation where the Beatles that once became the Heatles when LeBron was with D. Wade and Bosh and those boys in Miami. Ladies and gentlemen, I got news for you. Even with Wembanyama in San Antonio, even with then New York Knicks being the reigning defending NBA champions, my god, it feels so good to say that. Even with that being the reality for the New York Knicks, do you understand that the combination of LeBron James with Steph Curry, what that would mean for box office, what that would mean for ratings, what that would mean for the popularity of the NBA brand, not just nationwide, not just in the states, but globally.” (Via Stephen A Smith)

Asked Nuggets coach David Adelman about the season that Jaylen Brown has had, and he gushed about Brown as both a player and a person. "The the elite shooting from mid range is such a big deal in our game, it's the late-clock ability, his overall size, his ability to play in the middle of the floor, which is really hard to come double people and not give up the three point line to a team like they have, I would just say his continued evolution in his game. "He's an elite, All-Star player, two-way player. I just watched him grow over the years, not just the championship year, but with Jayson Tatum, obviously out, more responsibility falls into his hands, and I thought they did a great job building around him for this particular season, with all the shooting that surrounds him." "He's a problem. He's not fun to watch on tape when you have to play against him. I'm a fan of his, just as a pure basketball person, not just as a coach. Actually got to spend some time in Africa, he was such an impressive person. He's good for the NBA. He's going to be a probelm for us tonight." "There was an Africa game that I coach in, that he played in. They used to do that yearly in South Africa. It's an amazing event. He came down there for that. And some of the events that we had to do -- humanitarian stuff, you go out and you see these communities, and just to see his investment in it was really impressive. And he was at a much younger age then. And I remember him in the bubble, speaking up at meetings and things like that." "Some people are born to lead. He definitely stands out as one of those people."

A conundrum he couldn’t solve during a scene in his high school’s presentation of “Mother Fcker with a hat”. Finding a way to get from the smell on his sheets to the “pie place” proved difficult him. Yahya had to get out of his own head, & become a man so in love that he would ignore the smell of d*ck on his own sheets.

Stephen A. Smith delivers a blunt message aimed directly at Jasmine Crockett. “I hope Jasmine Crockett is listening to this.” By the end, Smith was visibly perplexed, shrugging his shoulders as to why Crockett couldn’t figure this out. “When you go on national television and… you’re being all disrespectful [to the president], as a representative in this country, do you believe the citizens of Texas sent you there to do that?” Smith asked. “They expect you to go to Capitol Hill and figure out a way to maneuver yourself through that terrain to work in a fashion that’s going to facilitate getting things done on behalf of your constituents.” “That’s your job! That’s your job!” Smith emphasized twice. “Excuse my language on SiriusXM, but it ain’t your job to say, ‘He ain’t sh*t.’ He ain’t worth a damn.’ That’s not your job! Anybody could do that.” Smith then gave Crockett a blunt lesson in decency, explaining that showing Trump some respect is the only way to actually get things done. “He’s a dealmaker. And if you figure out a way to make him look good… He’ll reciprocate,” Smith explained. “If you know that, why can’t you figure it out? Is that hard?” he asked, shrugging his shoulders.

Even CNN is now turning on Jack Smith after his House Judiciary testimony. CNN legal analyst Elie Honig zeroed in on the moment Republicans cornered Smith over rushing the Trump case right before the 2024 election — and Smith had no answer. HONIG: “To your question, Brianna, the last Congressman we saw brought up the fact that jack Smith demanded a trial date four months out, five months out in a case involving 13 MILLION pages of documents.” “There is no defense lawyer in the country who can constitutionally prepare for trial and defend his client on that short of time frame.” “The implication was you were rushing to get this in before the 2024 election.” “Jack Smith did not defend himself, by the way. He didn’t say a word about that, which I found, I found striking.” “And Jack Smith has always maintained this veneer that he never thought about the election…of course he did!” “Why would would you demand such a quick trial date?”
