Was dope, Stephen A is right tho you gotta talk about all the good and the bad and the full story, can’t just have a bunch of history of only the good things otherwise every player just looks like they were perfect

[@jimcroce620]

Yes, and I think PG failed to realize that what Stephen A was pointing out was it is only natural for journalists to criticize the player's performances. It's honestly a fair and reasonable line of questioning. Sure, there are a*holes out there who asks inappropriate questions, but players should not be too sensitive when it comes to opinions about their game that are based on facts/stats. Of course, no one's gonna perform great every game, and the players themselves don't want to play bad, but it's not malicious to have conversations and questions about it because that's literally what reporters and journalists are paid to do. I loved it when Stephen A pointed out that no one's judging your character, they're just talking about your game.

[@bossrusso9894]

Ehh I guess but sometimes you gotta stand up for yourself. Admitting your wrong is admirable but he wasn’t completely wrong. Shouldn’t have backed down to that degree. But Jackie doesn’t know ball at all

[@ATHTSupply]

To be fair to Jackie he didn’t even really indulge in the situation because he had no wrong doing. If you watched the episode where Jackie asked if Stephen A has played , he concluded it all asking Stephen A to give grace to the players that’s injured because Stephen is constantly insinuating that Kawhi and PG are just collecting a check… Stephen even doubled down during his response. When he said Kawhi is to hurt to play but not to hurt to walk to the bank…….Stephen did what a good journalist would do in response. He flipped the narrative. He brought up the black struggle in media , black media history … but Jackie never said Stephen shouldn’t talk sports. He specifically said chill out on the guys that’s hurt because you don’t know how it feels how to be a hurt or injury prone player

[@darisgonzales2056]
