This has, and will always be, the BIGGEST problem with Stephen A.. He thinks he's the only one allowed to criticize anybody. And if he gets critized, to him, it's always out of line. To call Stephen A a hypocrite is a vast understatement. The guy thinks he's the only one entitled to an opinion, and believes anyone and everyone should give him defference, which is crap.

[@geoffreyfoster6355]

Remember, Marcellus claims Max literally saved his life when working at ESPN. Referred him to a doctor immediately when Marcellus took sick and nobody else in the building gave a damn. Marcellus is an honorable man who doesn't forget a friend in need.

[@mr.whisper3338]

I knew SAS was a phony the day after Kwame Brown called him out for his personal shots against him and other black athletes. SAS comes in and wears an African-themed RBG jacket through the entire next show. As though black people are THAT stupid. If that doesn't confirm the insecurity and pandering that Marcellus is talking about, nothing does. Google it.

Marcellus is right. Essentially Stephen A Smith has just become the black version of Skip picking on athletes.

Could be both tbh. Plus having the Wiley’s and the Owens’ of the world speaking on Max’s behalf. Kind of like being Max “unofficial mouthpiece”.

Max Kellerman was correct about many social issues, and Stephen A. Smith couldn't handle it. I criticized SAS on Twitter years ago, and many people criticized me in return, but I was confident that I was right. For example, Will Cain frequently defended racist and disparaging remarks, such as those by the former president against NFL players. However, Max Kellerman effectively shut Will down and articulated, with straight facts, why Will was dead wrong. On the other hand, SAS pandered to Will, almost like he was afraid to step on his toes, ultimately placating him. Now, look at where Will Cain is working. It supports my point. Max was right all along. js
