Stephen A. ‘Myth’ apologizes to Kyrie Irving, reveals more lies



Stephen A. Smith once implored Kyrie Irving to retire from the NBA over his refusal to take the jab. Now, with Irving on the doorstep of the NBA finals, Smith is apologizing.

In his attempt to make amends, Smith mentioned Kenny Smith’s conversation with him about Kyrie and went on to say that Kenny’s brother helped train the ESPN host in basketball and was one of the reasons he was able to secure a full ride to Winston-Salem State.

“My boy Kenny Smith and I go back decades. His brother Vincent Smith used to train me,” Smith said on his podcast. “I got a scholarship, basketball scholarship, because of Vincent Smith.”

Jason Whitlock isn’t letting it slide and believes that was an important piece of information that should’ve been included in his memoir, what Whitlock calls a work of historical fiction.

“First time I’ve heard it, and you guys know how much time I’ve spent researching Stephen A. Smith, reading his memoir, tracking and monitoring what he has said and contradicted,” Whitlock says. “I’ve been tracking all of it, but I had never heard Stephen A. Smith assert that Kenny Smith’s brother is responsible or played a role in him getting a full-ride basketball scholarship.”

Whitlock then went and refreshed his memory, going back to the two times Kenny Smith was referenced in Smith’s memoir.

“Along the way, there’s an inordinate number of friendships I’ve been blessed to have with colleagues at ESPN, as well as people who don’t work at ESPN: Snoop Dogg; Jamie Fox; Charlie Mac; Michael Ealy; Charles Barkley; Shaq; Kenny Smith,” Smith wrote in memoir.

That was the first reference.

“I just didn’t have the money (or the talent) for those travel and AAU programs, like the Gauchos or Riverside. They were reserved for the young phenoms I knew about, from Rod Strickland, Dwayne ‘Pearl’ Washington, Mark Jackson, and Kenny Smith, then on to Kenny Anderson and Lloyd ‘Sweet Pea,’” Smith wrote in his second reference.

Not one mention of Kenny Smith’s brother helping Smith get a scholarship.

“That’s not the story Stephen A. Smith told in his book. He talked about a guy, either Howard or Harold Kit, taking him out on the playground in February in New York City and then driving him down to Winston-Salem State on a Sunday to try out in front of the big house games in the middle of their basketball season. That’s the story he told in his book,” Whitlock says.

Former MLB star EXPOSES Stephen A. Smith



The evidence just keeps stacking up against Stephen A. Smith, and this time it’s from former Red Sox and Phillies pitcher Jonathan Papelbon.

“Stephen A. did a segment dissing Mike Trout and saying, you know, he’s too injured, and how could he get injured in a sport like baseball where there’s not much contact or whatever. And then Jonathan Papelbon kind of opened up a can on Stephen A. Smith,” Jason Whitlock explains.

Papelbon then recounted a story on the show "Foul Territory" that does not bode well for Smith’s already shaky reputation.

“When I was in the Philadelphia clubhouse, we had a traveling secretary named Frank the Tank,” Papelbon began, saying he got into a conversation with Frank about Stephen A. Smith.

“I said, ‘Well, how come he never comes in the clubhouse any more?’ and he says to me, ‘Oh no, we had to kick him out of the clubhouse,’” Papelbon recalled.

“He proceeds to tell me that he was doing all kind of shady s*** like going through the manager's office when he wasn’t in there, going through the training room, pulling out reports, and all kinds of places he shouldn’t have been,” he continued.

“So for me, I've always looked at this guy like a complete joke and really is just real shady. Real shady guy. Like when you get kicked out of a major league clubhouse, that means that you should never be able to be a journalist ever again,” he added.

Jason Whitlock isn’t sure he believes it, but he isn’t writing it off, either.

“Any time you start passing along gossip and things you heard, it’s kind of high-risk and undermines the credibility of the accusations,” Whitlock says.

“I can’t see Stephen A. Smith hunting through private documents inside a baseball locker room, but who knows?” he continues. “Stephen A. doesn’t have much ethics. He’s willing to write books and a fictional narrative about himself, so I guess, you know, he’s potentially capable of it.”

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.”

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.”

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.
