Stephen A. Smith FIRES BACK at critics who question why he calls Kawhi Leonard the WORST superstar ever, explaining that his issue goes far beyond basketball.

Stephen A. says Kawhi treats media appearances like he’s being sent to the front lines of Afghanistan, refuses to promote the game, and even escaped the Clippers’ salarycap scandal with barely a slap on the wrist while his owner received a massive fine and a one year NBA ban.

Iman Shumpert and DeMarcus Cousins argue over who would you take on your team to win a Championship Norris Cole or Allen Iverson:

DeMarcus: You just told me that Iverson was a loser and you only want winners. So you want Norris Cole instead of Iverson?

Iman: By definition how many rings does Allen Iverson have? It’s not my definition when you talk about champions is Allen Iverson apart of the conversation? Yes or no? He’s not because he is a loser. Allen Iverson did not win that is a fact, I’m not saying Norris Cole is better than Allen Iverson.”

Sometimes you notice something embarrassing about someone and deliberately pretend you didn’t see it, just so they don’t feel uncomfortable.

Protecting someone’s dignity has become so damn rare.
