Stephen A. Smith DEFENDS Donald Trump, but is it legit?



Stephen A. Smith is under fire again, but it’s not for a reason one might think. Rather, Smith spoke out in defense of former president Donald Trump.

“Black folks find him relatable because what he’s going through is similar to what black Americans have gone through,” Smith told Sean Hannity on a Fox News segment.

“He wasn’t lying, he was telling the truth. When you see the law, law enforcement, the court system, and everything else being exercised against him, it is something that black folks throughout this nation can relate to with some of our historic, iconic figures — we’ve seen that happen throughout society,” he continued.

Smith then took to his own podcast to explain himself, telling his audience that he was asked a question — and he simply answered it.

Jason Whitlock isn’t buying it and believes Smith is just trying to “build up his YouTube channel.”

“If you’re gonna’ make statements like that, which are very bold, you have to be able to take the heat. And Stephen A. Smith is realizing this is much different than debating whether LeBron James is greater than Michael Jordan,” Steve Kim says. However, he doesn’t have a problem with Smith’s original statement.

“Don’t be upset at Stephen A. Smith for amplifying his own view,” he says, noting there’s a grain of truth to what Smith told Hannity.

As a black man with a platform himself, Whitlock knows that those critical of what Smith said are often guilty of believing that all people of a certain race should hold similar political beliefs.

“Their job is to make sure that anybody black in the public space, we’re all on the same note.”

'NBA expert' Stephen A. Smith embarrasses himself AGAIN!



There’s a reason Jason Whitlock calls Stephen A. Smith “Stephen A. Myth.”

While Smith prides himself on being a diehard New York Knicks fan and ESPN props him up as an “NBA expert,” he’s just made an unforgettable blunder that calls all of his accolades into serious question.

“I’m looking at Grimes; he’s looking good. I’m looking at Isaiah Hartenstein as a reserve, giving you activity off the bench; I’m looking at Mitchell Robinson being here on the court, back on the court,” Smith told his audience.

“If Stephen A. Smith’s mouth is moving, he’s likely lying,” Whitlock says, noting that Quentin Grimes hasn’t been on the New York Knicks for months.

“Stephen A. Smith goes on national television day after day during the NBA season, pretending he’s a huge New York Knicks fan, pretending that he knows something about basketball,” Whitlock says, noting that Isaiah Hartenstein is “not coming off the bench,” either.

Whitlock believes his lack of knowledge can mean only one thing: “He’s a plant.”

“Stephen A. Smith has been installed,” Whitlock says, adding that this isn’t the first time Smith has dropped the ball.

“We saw him talk about an NFL tight end and his matchup against Derek Johnson, and neither guy was on either team. He doesn’t know what he’s talking about,” Whitlock says.

Is LeBron James taking cues from Stephen A. Smith?



LeBron James surpassed 40,000 points in his NBA career — but instead of simply being proud of such a great feat, he chose to play the victim.

“To be quite honest with you,” LeBron said in a press conference, “everybody wanted to see me fail when I got to the league.”

LeBron then recalled a commercial he saw when he was 18 in which he was mentioned as one of the greats.

“I was like, 'What the hell?' That expectation on an 18-year-old kid like that, that was just insane to just think about it. I was watching it today, I was like I wish that on no kid and no sport, to have this type of pressure put on them, and everybody wanted to see you fail,” he continued.

“This is like a Kardashian complaining about too much exposure or the ills of social media,” Steve Kim tells Jason Whitlock.

“LeBron just does not have a grasp of reality, and it borders on being very, very dishonest,” Kim continues.

Whitlock agrees.

“He doesn’t have a grasp on reality, I’m not sure any of us would given the amount of worship that has surrounded LeBron since he was 18.”

However, his criticism isn’t aimed solely at LeBron.

“It’s a criticism of how we respond to idols — how we respond to talent, how we respond to money and fame— that people have worshiped LeBron and have told LeBron primarily what he wants to hear. And anyone that offers modicum of criticism of LeBron is some sort of racist, or sellout, or hater,” Whitlock explains.

“He certainly could be divorced from reality, not that smart, and delusional. He’s probably all those things," Whitlock laughs.

Are Stephen A. Smith, Charles Barkley, and Shannon Sharpe tossing Baphomet's salad?



In Joe Rogan’s bombshell interview with Katt Williams, Williams told Rogan that he was well aware transgenderism would become a thing.

Not because he was a prophet but because of his understanding of Baphomet.

“The earliest I had seen that word, transgender, was Baphomet the transgender,” Williams explained. “I knew that in the ritual of Baphomet the transgender, to show allegiance to him, you had to kiss his as** ring.”

“So, I knew that both of those things will become popular,” he added.

Jason Whitlock believes what Williams said can be applied to three of the biggest names in sports media.

“I would love for Charles Barkley, Stephen A. Smith, and Shannon Sharpe just to answer the question: are you kissing the rear end of the Baphomet?” Whitlock asks, noting that he believes the answer might be yes because of how open they are about their support for the LGBTQ+ community.

“I’m a big proponent of gay, transgender people,” Barkley said on Stephen A. Smith’s show before Smith agreed.

“I’m all for liberalism on the social side. I’m about gay rights, transgender rights,” Smith responded.

“He’s tossing the salad of the Baphomet with those words. That’s what verbal salad-tossing sounds like,” Whitlock says.

Shannon Sharpe, on the other hand, has “front-and-centered himself with his gay stylist.”

“What grown man in his 50s says, ‘You know what, I’m going to get brand new and I’m going to parade around at Lakers games and everywhere I can for a year solid with my gay stylist, Hollywood,’” Whitlock says.

“This sexual fluidity, it’s so rampant and pervasive throughout American culture,” he continues, “So, you black people get on board with transgenderism, toss the salad of the Baphomet.”

The 1 question Stephen A. Smith REFUSES to answer



It’s no secret that Stephen A. Smith has been feuding with Zion Williamson and the New Orleans Pelicans — and now the feud has been taken to a new level.

Smith took aim at Williamson’s weight, despite the fact that he’s been playing well.

The Pelicans responded with a troll job on social media, posting Smith’s less than impressive stats during his time playing at Winston-Salem State University and a highlight reel of his sports failures.

Then, Smith responded with a 10-minute rant claiming he doesn’t care and left questions about his college basketball career unanswered.

“You need to be educated a little bit more about Stephen A. Smith,” Smith said on his podcast. “Allow me to educate you. Number one, I don’t give a s**t. It doesn’t bother me that you troll me.”

Smith then told a sob story about a cracked knee that still bothers him now, which is why his stats were so bad.

“I’m not lying,” he explained.

Jason Whitlock isn’t buying it.

“You are lying,” Whitlock laughs.

“What he doesn’t go to now is ‘I have a six-inch screw in my knee.’ He’s completely dropped that because he knows how comical and stupid that is,” Whitlock explains.

The other thing that he will not mention is one of “the biggest smokest guns” according to Whitlock.

Smith claims that he was kept on the team — with a scholarship — while severely injured as a practice player and couldn’t run up and down the court more than three times without limping.

“If you played college athletics at any level,” Whitlock says, asking if anyone who couldn’t go up and down the court more than a few times was allowed to maintain a scholarship.

“These are the questions Stephen A. Myth needs to answer,” Whitlock says.

Apparently Stephen A. Smith ISN'T done talking about Jason Whitlock



Stephen A. Smith claimed he was done talking about Jason Whitlock, but then he proceeded to give a dissertation on the decade-plus of agony Whitlock’s criticism has caused him.

And he just continues to show the world that he is incapable of providing answers to legitimate questions and, as Whitlock calls him, “a pathological liar.”

“I don’t know of another human being worse than Jason Whitlock,” Smith said on his show. “He is a piece of s***. He’s the dude that’s going to have a funeral and ain’t going to be no pallbearers. Might be two people to show up.”

Smith then proceeded to call him “fat.”

Whitlock is well aware of what Smith is doing, which is creating a distraction.

“I’m going to rant and rave and curse and call names, and I’m going to create this whole distraction, and that’s going to be my response to Jason Whitlock’s legitimate questions, legitimate points about the lies told in his memoir,” Whitlock says.

“Virtually everything in this man’s memoir is suspect,” he adds.

Whitlock notes that Smith’s response hasn’t been to dispute any of Whitlock’s claims but rather just to call him a “fat bastard” and the worst human being alive.

He believes Smith is getting away with it because “the entire American culture has been corrupted to the point no one cares about truth; no one has any legitimate expectations.”

“Stephen A. Smith is a 56-year-old man who behaved like a 10-year-old child from a single-parent home,” Whitlock says.

“And no one batted an eye; no one in the media called him out for it.”

Exposed: Is Stephen A. Smith's bias against NBA's Luka Doncic based on race?



Is Stephen A. Smith race-baiting?

According to Jason Whitlock, that’s exactly what the ESPN host is doing.

When Joel Embiid dropped 70 points in a game, Smith and his colleagues were glowing. When the Dallas Mavericks’ Luka Doncic dropped 73 points in a game, Smith claimed it was just due to poor defense and a bad opponent.

The difference? A little over a week in timing and the color of the player’s skin.

“This brother is phenomenal, arguably the best big man in the game,” Smith told his colleagues about Embiid. “The message he sent is that he’s going for the championship. He’s not trying to mess around. He already got the league MVP.”

When it came to covering Doncic, Smith was much less impressed.

“The Atlanta Hawks, no wonder why y’all stink. Did you see how they played defense last night? I mean this is not Joel Embiid,” Smith says. “What transpired last night in Atlanta was disgraceful.”

While Smith doesn’t care much for Doncic’s performance, Whitlock doesn’t care for Smith’s.

“Anybody that’s paid attention to the NBA knows that what Luca Doncic did and how the Atlanta Hawks played, that’s par for the course in this new NBA,” Whitlock explains.

“For Stephen A. to single out this Atlanta Hawks game and Luca Doncic,” he continues, “it’s a joke.”

“Stephen A.’s contradictory messages here can only be defined and described in one way accurately: racist,” he adds.

WATCH: Shaquille O’Neal weighs in on Stephen A. Smith-Whitlock feud



Jason Whitlock isn’t Stephen A. Smith’s biggest fan, and he’s let his viewers know.

Most recently, Whitlock accused Smith of exaggerating aspects of his career in the ESPN host’s memoir "Straight Shooter: A Memoir of Second Chances and First Takes" — calling him “Stephen A. Myth.”

Smith clearly took it to heart, going on a nearly 40-minute rant during which he unloaded explicit shots at Whitlock.

The beef has gained so much attention that Shaquille O’Neal even weighed in, noting that he wouldn’t speak the way Smith did out of respect for his churchgoing mother.

“Jason Whitlock, I know he’s going to have something to say, and as a fan, I’m going to just sit back and watch,” O’Neal said on "The Big Podcast with Shaq."

“Even though those two are serious, it’s still comedy to me,” O’Neal added.

O’Neal then went on to laugh as he counted how many times Smith called Whitlock a “fat bastard” in his rant.

“You just got a master’s class on how to be a public figure, how to be a likable public figure, how to be a relatable public figure from Shaquille O’Neal. And how to mix in your message, what you really think, while being a relatable, fun-loving, public figure,” Whitlock says, laughing.

“Shaq very cleverly took no shots at Stephen A. Smith, but basically said ‘I have too much respect for my mother and my parents to make a fool of myself the way that Stephen A. Smith did,’” Whitlock continues.

“He made a fool of himself, and Shaq very politely called it out,” he adds.
