Put Iman Shumpert everywhere.
He’s awesome in this clip and every NBA executive at ESPN should be watching this and contrasting it to Perk, the Morris brothers, Gil and every other lazy effort they’ve made.
Stephen A is a delusional narcissist of the highest order. He sees himself as bigger than the game of basketball and a superstar. He has no influence. He doesn’t know shit about the game and social media impressions have turned him into a Tr*** esque figure.
Stephen A Smith calls out Tyrese Halliburton
“If he was talking about me...players far more accomplished and more superior have made their efforts trying to call me out. How has that worked out? I’ll be here no matter what remember that wins a chip”

This only makes sense from the perspective of someone playing the game going into the next season.
As a standalone achievement, making it to the NBA finals is certainly much greater than losing in the 1st round. It’s funny watching the Bron haters repost this.
The New Orleans Pelicans will continue to move forward with Zion Williamson as the face of their franchise, per Joe Dumars
"I've had some real honest conversations with him. Some real direct and honest conversations. We're going to go forward with Zion. He's going to continue to be a focal point here as we go forward."

@AnthonyIrwinLA It’s so disappointing to see guys like Gilbert consistently push anti-intellectual, barber shop BS like this. When former athletes use their platform to tear down others with lazy narratives instead of real insight, playing the game doesn’t mean you’re contributing meaningful.
@HalfCourtHoops I’ve seen countless huge games with Jeff Van Gundy & Marc Jackson.
I could never complain about RJ & Doris after what I’ve endured.
What is the point of differentiating 3 pointers made from points? Why not include DUNKS then? Acting like 3 pointers is something special outside of points is just the artificially boost Steph. Stopping the games for 3pt milestones. Never seen a game stopped for layup record.
Since their first NBA Finals meeting in 2015...
LeBron and Steph have continued to build on their legendary careers over the last 10 seasons 📊
Tonight, a MAJOR standings battle on TNT!

@AnthonyIrwinLA They’d be laughing even harder at the Lakers if LeBron never joined them. They’d be riding a 10 year playoff drought and would probably have Lonzo & Ingram on max deals with Kurt Rambis coaching and who knows what else.
@AnthonyIrwinLA So calling it a “publicity stunt” sounds kinda nasty & I get the negative reactions people are having to your take here. It’s a special moment that LeBron has earned personally, beyond the prospect of Bronny going forward, and kind of a celebration of just him still being here.
@AnthonyIrwinLA Anthony, I hear where you’re coming from on this topic but I think the proper perspective is to look at it as novelty. This scenario won’t happen again & LeBron has earned it with the Lakers by dragging them to relevancy. There’s no guarantee of health, esp. after Bronny’s scare.
@HPbasketball Right. Good riddance. The show slowly morphed into a mockery after Shaq showed up.
Get some people who actually care about the game.
There’s plenty of ex-player podcasts to fill anybody’s need for Inside’s horrible takes, hatred for the modern game, and jokes.
