This is why Max Kellerman did not work. SAS could be all in his feelings, chest pumped up, angry, yelling, name calling, and Max would just look at him with a straight face, completely un-phased by it all. Max spoke with facts. Did he say dumb shit sometimes? Sure, we all do, but SAS often responds with his feelings, and does not like to be refuted. That's why JJ would never be able to sit next to him. JJ embarrasses SAS far worse than Max ever did, because he actually played as a pro and is a historian of the game. SAS was definitely in his feelings here.

SAS was spot on. Jay was taking it personal because he doesn't agree with how one sided it is. SAS explained what EVERY billionaire would say. Those who have the money make the rules. SAS was saying Kyrie wasn't in a position to do what Bezos can do and get away with it. Jay doesn't seem to understand that the playing field isn't level, and no matter WHAT he thinks about it, it won't change a thing for Amazon or Bezos, but it WILL change for someone like Kyrie.

[@j_boogie_483]

Good point. But Jay's take on SAS either having something personal in play or following his marching orders on dragging Kyrie is also valid. It's circular, because the statement on "...he who has the gold.." is also true for SAS because he's also cashing, not writing checks. Also, when you make it personal, you in yo feelings.

Exactly and it's not a bias it's a reality. At the end of the day Kyrie is an amazing talent but he's an employee and as an employee there's just some things you gotta adhere to. You can't do what you want and expect to be paid what u want

[@ceejordan9649]

@@tdavidson31td I feel all that because that's real shit. But it's the NBA we talking about. Ain't no other job like it. It's a player driven league. NBA players been doing whatever they want to do forever. KD just forced a trade with 3 years left on a SuperMax deal. Kawhi & PG on max deals. Them boys play whenever they feel like it. James Harden get fat everytime he wanna switch teams and he still get a max deal. Wall been hurt for about 5yrs now that man was on a max deal. Even the halfway decent players get big deals.

[@thesweattexperience7741]

That is interesting, Kyrie is the first person to ever call into work. Oh, he gets a very good salary so he must perform at all cost. Nah, I don't think so.

[@teenice1885]

Jay Williams is Kyries best buddy cmon now. The Dukes are gonna defend each other. Williams has always stood by Irving. Technically if you think about it a lot of the stuff that goes on with Kyrie goes on with other players. They just aren't as spectacular as Kyrie so it isn't that big of a deal.

It was a good old fashion argument that happened to be on national television. Smith mentioned national television a couple times. I'll bet for him it was about ratings. I don't blame him. I think what Jay was saying had a lot of flaws and Smith took advantage of that. Remember Jay has his own show and followers also, but it's on ESPN2. I wish them both continued success.

Let’s remember that Stephen said that Patrick mahomes was not a first second or third round draft pick

[@blackwidowsm]

Remember too coming out Patrick was a project. Andy raid put in the sircraid component system he was horrid in the west west coast system Alex smith ran for Reid. Reid understood successful coaches fit systems around players but only NE ran an air raid component system nfl was never friendly to air raid quarterbacks. Why thier was greatvpausexwith Patrick remember his nfl grade was 6.30 that’s a fourth round grade. Patrick was fortunate he had Alex smith the ultimate quarterback coach. When he was at Utah university he volunteered at local high school helping quarterbacks as a quarterback coach. Alex will be an nfl HC one day. Patrick got the right head coach who utilized his skill set in his preferred system. Great results! I’d wager any other system would be much more pedestrian. A lot of sircraid quarterbacks busted out simply because they never had opportunities in thier preferred offense. Talent was their system and coach flexibility was not.

[@Dh-is5ro]

Stephen A also said that if you attempt a field goal on third down, and you miss it, you can try it again on fourth down. A ridiculous person who has made a living with loud. Smith gets a pass, where others would be laughed off the air.

Nah Jay will sounded pussy up there. He was bitching and didn’t even make a good case. They go for that vaccine and instagram bs because that’s all they got to go on. Stephen in the past has laid out about 6 points it’s the 4 people like Jay never answer. Kyrie is a doof, and barely plays half a season every year…. Not just Covid. Nets what his project and he fucked it up. The dumbest part is people blaming management as if they didn’t give everything they could them to win. Here’s what nobody talks about the nets did better in the playoffs with no names b4 kyrie got there. Kyrie got a lot of money for not a lot of playing over 4 years. Y’all talk like he took a pay cut or was sitting at home for free

[@AlexCole272]

Both were right but Jays point don’t effect the trade from happening, it was unethical. Jay’s point: What the nets and other corporations did to Kyrie and people alike was unethical, unlike other people, Kyrie was able to keep his job. SAS point: Kyrie is employee for a job, when you don’t show up, you can’t expect to get raise. Yes, he stood up for what he believed in, but it comes with a cost. Complaining about Jeff Bezos was irrelevant to why Kyrie got traded.

@@AlexCole272 - Kyrie lost millions. He wasn't absent. He was prevented under an anti-Constitutional mandate/law forcing him to choose between making a lot of money and playing versus standing up for his right not to be lab right and others.
