And maybe referencing his urging of blacks to root for those athletes, perhaps he's doing so in a positive fashion (i.e., to straighten up, etc...).

I watch him very infrequently then only for a couple minutes. It's all I can take. I prefer highlights and not much analysis. Then again, I still read the comics first thing when I get the morning newspaper.

I like the guy, he speaks his mind and that's always refreshing! He knows his basketball for sure and has good insight! Do I always agree with him? Of course not! But I value his opinions and usually understand where he's coming from, agree or not!

I cant think of a better person to represent what is a horrible league.The NBA has gone so downhill the last 10-15 years. Steven A Smith can have the NBA and vice versa. His act is so insanely idiotic, its funny.

I'll take the guys who analyze college hoops any day like Jay Bilas. Hes great and a true class act. Heck, I even like Dick Vitale.

speaking of downhill, the NFL has become a borefest with the amount of truely horrible teams and the amount of time lost to bogus flags and stupid challanges

Gander...we get it, you don't like the NBA! It's all personal opinion but I think Smith is excellent and the NBA gets a bad rap...Steve Francis has a point whether we admit it or not!

ganders right the league has obviously gone downhill since i was a little kid watching in the 80's through early 90's. however i think quality wise it is on its on the way backup. obviously losing the greatest athlete of all time(#23) isnt gonna make things better. will iverson actually be able to coexist with mello? i dont know if iverson can coexist with any1. lol i hope AI got his wife a nice 4.5 mil dollar rock like kobes got, since that"groupie" came out with that book and said she slept with AI amongst other big name celebs

The NBA is a great game. It is a different type of game compared to college b-ball. I appreciate both and I love both. I like the NBA because it is a game of adjustments. I love the ever changing strategy, the physicalness of the game and the sure talent. I also like Stephen A Smith....but is it only me that thinks SAS really wants to be Ludicrous?

Okay, I've made my point. I use to love the NBA. Oh well for me theres always baseball (which I cant blame many people for thinking the same has happened there) and horse racing.
