All credit to the athletes on this platform because without them, there is no drama, no theater, no stories to wax poetic upon. Stephen A is the best at what he does, but without the athletes, there's no narrative at all.

[@patriotsfan122480]

@@k-way8471 yeah, they have the right to ask for a trade, but there is a difference between asking for one and demanding one though. Like I know they were mostly focusing on KD (who did sign a new multi-year contract just a year ago) asking for a trade, but the best recent example, imo, is James Harden and how he forced his way out of Houston. I get wanting to get out of a place and find a better work environment, however, I also get honoring a contract to do the best I’m being paid to do, even if the situation isn’t what I originally signed up for. To me it just means I need to sign shorter contracts so I can always re-evaluate (like Lebron does). Yeah, it can mean less money and long term security, but if I’m doing my job both of those will always be there in the end.

This was an amazing interview all around!💪🏿🔥💯Watched the entire thing. I think this the first time I heard about "I Am Athlete". The 3 gentlemen did a great job with their questions and perspective and Stephen A did what he does best! He analyzed, spoke facts and did it from his heart with confidence!👏🏿👏🏿💯

[@OffTheBallNetwork]

This version of SAS is the version we need to see more. He was spot on in this interview

[@kingaxl2583]

That was a great episode!!! Definitely a classic!

[@johndiaz5075]

It’s all business never personal. You gotta understand that in order to understand Stephen A.

[@jakejameslugo]

Very good, insightful, and fun convo between all of you. I’m not in the sports world, but I can take away and relate to a lot from everything you all talked about. Kudos, and keep up the great work!

[@DJaySplitSecond]

Man I can listen to SAS all day!! He give it you straight forward with no icing!! People just can’t take it, especially because the way he sais it!

[@jseay12487]

The only problem I have is : that most of the players he named load mange’s not just kawhi . Dude has issues with his knee prior to the acl tear . So he was doing the best he could to keep it from getting injury unfortunately he still got hurt . Dude was hurt in his 2019 title run . But played through it . Kawhi had only been gone for one full year . He had an Surgey in July 2021 it’s only September 2022. 14 months he’s not playing because the season doesn’t start until the end of next month . Soo.. stop the cap

I'm with Stephan a. What Bron did was way different then kd. Kd went to a team that just beat him and won the most games in history that had 3 other hofers in they prime on it him making it the 4th. Everyone knew they were gonna win for the next 5 years if kd stayed

[@kareemabdulwahhab6919]

No it’s not different.

@@kareemabdulwahhab6919 yes it is different very different nobody on MIAMI WON BACK TO BACK MVPS @ the TIME MIAMI AINT JUST BEAT LEBRON TEAM LIKE HOW GSW DID OKC ,73-9 LET MIAMI WOULD OF BEEN THT AND LEBRON WENT THE MEDIA WOULD OF WENT CRAZY

[@TheRellokid]

It’s different but Lebron’s intent was to create what KD & the warriors created

[@tcincali9642]

It is different LeBron recruited Bosh. Convinced Wade to stay because Wade admitted he was going to Chicago with Rose. Bron had a league wide free agent meeting. Warriors went after KD and sold him on what they had and how he fit. Both made moves they’re well within their right to do. One recruited players and the other was recruited

[@SkinnyJT_YT]

Love y’all for this channel bro❤❤❤❤ a place for every young man to feel comfortable and pick up healthy ideas! I salute you kings!!!

[@tavinwallack24]

I'm glad he did this. I already knew without meeting Stephen A that he was a real one. That he comes from the right place. So hopefully people stop hating on what he's saying. Disagree all day but appreciate the honesty and the place he's coming from

[@comeonna9361]

Stephen A ripped this interview. Idk why people call him a sell out. It’s just stupid

[@silverback1073]

It was hard for them to argue with S.A.’s point.

[@jacobfranco2656]

This was great, love hearing this side of Stephen A. I feel a lot different towards him knowing his perspective.

I grew up with SAS!!! This is hands down the best interview EVER!!!!!! I haven't followed football since the early 2000s....I will look up these 3 young men and see who they are!!! Thank you for a very entertaining Interview..

[@richo.4584]

This is why I never understood why some black people would call Stephen A. an "Uncle Tom" or a sellout. People that say that about him obviously don't watch First Take on a consistent basis. From his "Quite Frankly" days until now, Stephen A. has OBJECTIVELY spoken in defense of not only black athletes, but black people in general. Furthermore, I respect him because he is fair and objective. He gets a lot of pressure from black folks to be a certain way, talk a certain way, and to have a certain perspective on his platform because they do see the power and influence that he has. Despite that pressure, he still goes on air and gives his opinion from a place of authenticity and objectiveness. His desire for black people to rise and win will not stop him from calling black people out when he feels like they're in the wrong on something. I don't agree with his delivery on things sometimes, but this dude is measured, honest, authentic, caring, responsible, talented, intelligent, relatable, trustworthy, and empathetic (to a certain extent). Last thing, one thing that doesn't really get talked about is the fact that he often seems to know a little more on a situation than what he is reporting. It's the stuff that he doesn't share on air that should let you know that that's another way of him looking out for people. If it doesn't have to do with your sport life, or you tell him that something is off the record, then you can trust that that information will remain private. He is the opposite of a sellout. He is the opposite of an Uncle Tom.

Shout out to Pacman for doing his best to keep Brandon in Line and on track. Brandon still needs to work on letting ppl finish their thoughts/sentences. Lol

Steven A explains his reasons so perfectly where there is no misunderstanding. Props to him. I use to get annoyed by him but I appreciate how he gets on people getting in their own way regardless of their skin color.

[@BlakHollywood205]

Damn if IAA can follow behind this interview I may start back tuning in. I thought they would fumble this but, surprisingly they did really well.
