Former NBA player Sebastian Telfair shared his thoughts on Stephen A. Smith's harsh criticism of Kawhi Leonard. Telfair agreed with Smith to some extent, stating that "to be a superstar, you got to want to be a superstar," and suggesting that Kawhi's lack of public presence and charisma indicates he may not aspire to that role. While acknowledging Kawhi’s humble demeanor, Telfair emphasized that superstar status requires more than just on-court excellence.

💯 Too busy doing my own thing to worry about watching basketball games all day

[@NYUArchaeology]

we're tired of skinnyjean rappin videogame playing black boys. Go play any sport. Grown men playing videogames.

[@WalkingWallet]

But not too busy to comment on Vlad about a basketball player talking bout basketball 😂😂

[@KKB45]

You mfs are hilarious 🤡

[@yrnx9334]

But u have time to be on vlad right? And the games come on at night bozo

[@JerardRood-gv2he]

The ratings are down bc of the way the game is played now 😂😂

[@cambridgejoe669]

And it’s crazy that he’s not saying that because Bassy’s play style is aggressive shifty drive to the basket type of basketball which is not only the most entertaining but the exact opposite of how they play today

[@josephhughes7104]

Facts!

[@stillsearchin3457]

BIG FACTS 💯💯💯💯

[@al-jameljohnson8805]

Criticism comes with the job. Stephen A be on some bullshit but he’s doing his job as a commentator and critic.

[@TheSoxor123]

Too many players are buddy buddies. They all just want to team up with each other.

[@johnye2210]

Kawhi is from the same city as me. Played against him at rec center off Fredrick and allessandro. Hes a real quiet dude unless you know him. I know his best friends too

[@stump4522]

You are blessed.

[@hardheadpaco6415]

Love him or hate him but the views were down in the playoffs because bron was put out in the first round. People want him to win and even more are gonna watch for him to lose 🤷🏿🥱

[@JohnKing-jz9zb]

Curry also

[@charomebrabham5411]

False when he was in the finals the views was still down the bubble finals

[@tomas746]

I dno the game is boring too

[@davidcooper8546]

In the past 3-5 years I catch games randomly or on my off day. I still love the game but I can't watch all the games

[@LuellaParker-he5tp]

Interesting perspective, got me thinking!

[@phillybul215]

SAS is from NYC they have faced so much propaganda that they would say they from the best projects lol

[@BushBush-qi6le]

Basically the game is just sassy now. The entire culture is sassy.

[@KhaalidAhmed-qo3db]

Bro so real

[@brandonford6615]

I dont think they count streams

[@polofrost5078]

No the views was down cuz a lot of the stars wasn’t in the playoffs or they was out the first round

[@Gdawg13568]

VIEWS WERE DOWN BECAUSE OF NO LEBRON NO CURRY!!!! U going to DEEP DAWG!!

[@Dipset415]

That only applies to not real hoop fans💪🏿

[@WRNIIVIIII]

Nah Illegal streaming

[@Tyler-ln6ig]

not true at all tbh nobody gives a shit bout steph and as a lebron fan its nice to see different faces in the playoffs

[@MarkLaw13]

LeBron actually has the lowest finals viewship which is actually the bubble

[@jayman3915]

In sports you need non sports fans watching to get the most views. That’s why super bowl gets over 100 million views per year. People who haven’t watched a football game all season are tuning in.

[@marcusjohnson5420]

Dude said people are living good. You can tell by that statement he’s out of touch

[@carltonwashington2779]

he saying some real stuff

[@Dipset415]

Cap the finals took to long to start and the Boston series vs pacers was no comp once Hali got injured other than that this years playoffs were some of the best in years since the refs actually let them play🔥the Knicks and wolves probably gained the most fans

[@aljazzi8387]

He comparing nba with street events

[@pdr1787]

Kawhi Leonard is a beast of a player. He can win games in the clutch with his shot making or even better yet, his defense!! 🖐️

[@BandeauxPat]

Vlad gonna bring up James harden missing those free throws and 3s whenever basketball comes up

[@JohnSmith-nm4zd]

Kawhi Leonard is the greatest part-time player in NBA history 😂

[@nickw7767]

Shout out to VLAD for “they got BLASTED by Sacramento” 👑 3:50

[@edwardchristian9529]

If you treat people like a product. They are gonna work like a product. You cant replace a machine thats like the greats.

[@TheProdigyAccordion]

Your welcome NY Knicks, for taking our guy Jalen Brunson

[@nmor30]

You're*

[@BIGMOOK04]

The rule is not to get your salary it's to be eligible for all nba and all star team.....Telfair just be saying anything because he's disgruntled

[@SuperMercedes44]

The 10% viewer ship was because a lot of allstars was hurt during the playoffs, Trust me. Who would be betting on second string starters, Everyone kinda knew what it was . Only hope was for Luka for go off and kill the Celtics, but honestly with everyone hurt , who didn’t think the Celtics .

[@otisyoungblood]

I see why he had such a short career

[@KD_SWAGGER]

LeBron James & Stephen Curry going far in the playoffs definitely brings ratings.

[@natedogg890]

Kawhi gave us the last full playoff run he will ever play... Back in 2019 XD

[@rigobryant8050]

Idk why yall let the media convince everyone that the Knicks are such a big part of the league and that everyone cares about them. They're just like another team at the end of the day to most fans, just because they're on the playoffs doesmean ratings are going to skyrocket lol.

[@machomusprime50]

Vlad talking about sports gives me a headache

[@ADMAFIA210]

The culture not gonna be just watch basketball?? That was a stupid answer

[@johnbrownjr371]

Shouldn’t be shocked that the NBA finals viewership was down. Not a good matchup. Dallas Mavs were trash 🗑️

[@ST19890]

view were down because of Boston

[@zamonmontana635]

160 points in 1 game is boring asf

[@dorianlawson6094]

Once Bron went down nobody cared!

[@teddylamar3190]

Bru act like basketball games come on everyday literally and are 24/hrs like stfu mane mad cause he didn’t play long

[@sixpack1385]

Idk I made a couple months income just watching a couple of games from the nba finals, fantasy basketball and betting is real.

Sacramento? Lmaoo vlad don’t even watch basketball

[@philliptimmons2135]

Vlad needs to get a sports guy. He clearly knows nothing about sports.

[@enricorios2822]

Damn I just thought about it. I don’t watch basketball like I used to. I love basketball. I come from the 80s 90s era of NBA basketball. This new era of NBA is soft as fuck. It’s not exciting.

[@ActionJacksonForever]

Who wants to watch Luka go 2-30 every game

[@ThirtyThreeHipHop]

Too many hurt stars.

NBA viewership is down because there making the s pay for it

SAS a failed college ball player now wanna talk ‘ish ‼️

[@YUNGRC]

Kawhi beat Miami Heats & Warriors in the Finals 💯👍👏 Stop Playing he Been injury

[@natedogg890]

Bro has been injured since 2018 lol, I'm not mad, he won Canada a ring and gave us the last full playoff run of his career

[@christophermhudson09]

​@@natedogg890hell I think it was even before then I think it was back in 2016 when it started happening😂

[@SuperMercedes44]

Man I use to think seabass was jealous and shit, But man, for someone that was on a magazine cover with bron bron is crazy . He actually handles this quite well, I’d be out my mind if I lost this life. He didn’t have the best ppl around him, was a star since a kid, very impressionable back then. His surroundings killed him. Still seems like a well minded person after his prison and anger. Idk how he feels whenever someone says something bout that cover. Being side to side with one of the best ever only at 5’9

[@yunqtule]

He was no 5'9 he looked shorter compared to others bro was 6ft like Kemba Walker n other shorter guard but I agree with everything else

[@BattlefieldTampaTV5]

If Caitlin Clark was in the NBA, the rating would be through the roof 😂😂

[@aaronhampton3141]

Burnt out at 68 games is Hilarious 😂😂😂😂😂

[@10oneluv10]

Players these days are soft. Playing 60-something games is now overload? Back when basketball was good, everyone played 82 games and didn't complain.

[@yungred315]

Yo S.T. dropped sooooo many jewels in this interview about getting up & lifting our culture in other ways besides just Sport's & Rapping! Shame that that's all not talked about more & acknowledged from this interview! He dropped hella jewels!

[@fancyalexander6560]

Without that LeBron James playing in the NBA the league will go down every year that’s just the fact

[@BigDic-qz8su]

😂

[@dominiquewilson]

It’s been going down with him in there. It’s not because of Lebron. It’s because of the rule changes

[@AtibaVV]

Another idiot who obviously don't watch basketball. L take don't speak on things u not invested in. U sound so stupid

[@wizard8437]

Not now but 2011 to 2020… LeBron carried the whole league with basketball feats, historic accomplishments, and crazy storylines around simply the game not even drama on some hoe shit… As a highschool senior beating the Cavs team in a private practice.. most top ten all time stats that are out of his position and more and higher placements than who some try to call the GOAT. Anyone that say different is simply a hater. There was no one with his pedigree. Steph even got a name off LeBron creating a rivalry with him. You don’t hear Steph or a debate, without LeBron whose BEEN in it.

[@Dipset415]

Cap🫵🏿😭
