[@eatravi5533]

Its not a rumor it’s true .. if you’re marketable you’re marketable bottom line

[@dre27321]

but it isn't though in this context. If a person isn't getting deals like they should and someone in a position of power says he is unmarketable, whether its true or not that's the reason he is not getting deals, because the people giving deals already have a negative opinion on him. So now as a journalist if people in the public are wondering these things, you can put an end to that wonder by stating what the people in power think of him. its not "rumor mill" unless hes just straight up lying about the source which there is zero reason to believe he is.

Even head to head billboards on TV between teams? That's what it means by marketable, NOT his game. This has been going on for YEARS. Look at AI during the early 2000s his play was unbelievable, but do you remember seeing many ads on him vs. his other stars. NBA isn't just able the on court shows. It's also about who they can use to sell the product that is the NBA.

Credibility does not equal blind trust, nor is it an excuse for libel (publishing harmful information about a person that damages their reputation). I listen to Stephen A a lot, and it’s my opinion he missed the mark on that day. They were talking about JB when he got the text, and he immediately shared that information with America.

I'ma start calling him Stephen 'A.ll Over The Place' Smith.

Imagine an NBA player sayin SAS you are hated on plus they sayin you aint that guy!! How would SAS react!!!??? SAS you not the victim Them players know what it's about an you better respect em for putting you onto 💯

[@KED-y1i]

Stephen A is right. Un-named sources and private reporting in just apart of journalism / news. Jalen Brown just took the unnamed source report / opinion personal. Jalen is trying to break parts of a systematic culture. Systematic entities don't like that.

I like SAS doesn’t hide from debates doesn’t matter if I agree with him or not. Like he brought JB on his pod, loves he’s willing to sit across from mccants and stand on his points 🫡

[@germainerashad1997]

Gilbert done sat on his same couch and said I talked to this hall of famer or this front office person and didn't put a name on it for the same reasons stephen A didnt.

[@patrickpius-u9d]

Whatever you all like say about S;A , He is a brilliant media personality. The way he answers and replies questions, He will insult you and at the same time calls you wonderful, I still believe He is up there in the business of journalism whether you like it or not S;A is a brilliant Man.

[@Hotdogco_Hdcflavors]

Outplayed J.T No Knock On Jt because I love his gm, but he's also very intelligent & articulate. The reason is because he's a strong leader at his core with positive influence

[@jeromec1983]

The only thing i have an issue is why would he read a text in real time on air before vetting it. Isnt that what a journalist would do?

[@shannonferguson3029]

Preach Stephen A 🔥🔥🔥👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🦾🦾🦾!!! Times like this reminds us of your brilliance.

[@gregoryharris4674]

Jaylen Brown knows the unamed source is SAS

[@kennethharrison9409]

I wonder if we will ever hear a SAS or Shannon rant, about the possible WNBA lockout? I love how the both of them were supportive of CC. Even though they were bashed for it.

[@shauntaebenton2062]

Gilbert was absolutely correct just like SAS said. They can’t do their job without sources…Gilbert didn’t say anything bad about SAS. All athletes think like them, are they all simple minded?

[@izanaminavarro]

Gil Arenas kept defending, he said SA is one of the only dudes that will let you explain and talk if you feel like he wrong you.

[@henrypetersonjr.1929]

You didn't have to say what the source said, YOU CHOSE TO. That's what they called you out on (supposed to be) BROTHA
