How much do Skip and SAS actually know about basketball?

[Money 23]

SAS knows the game. He just doesn't have time to go into detail in a show that revolves around headlines, and contrived TV personalities with overly strong opinions.

any of you guys remember this article?

stephen a bashes deron for going to turkey during the lockout, saying it hurts the union, calls him a 'filthy rich scab'. which made no sense at the time, since it was clear that stars going abroad, showed the owners, that playing in the nba wasnt the only option, and gave the union leverage

this flew straight over SAS' head.

a few days later hunter, or some union representative came out and encouraged nba players to seek teams abroad.

stephen a is clearly an idiot

[KyrieTheFuture]

They know a good amount but they're bad at dumbing it down for the masses so they seem like morons.

[KingBeasley08]

Both don't know anything but fun to watch.. They are acting like lunatics on TV. They are hillarious.

This. First Take is good for a couple of laughs

And Stephen A is hilarious. Just love the way he articulates and conveys his thoughts

The problem is Cuban wants to give his Mavs ALL the credit when most of us know Lebron played tight and choked in those 4th quarters. Did their defense have something to do w/ that? Yes. Of course - but not exclusively.

Cuban made Skip look like a giant tool, but SAS had great points that he (Cuban) couldn't address.

Did Lamar Odom want it bad enough? Classic.

Yeah, but his stance is much more reasonable. Skip thinks Lebron choked because of "excruciating pressure" while Cuban thinks the Mavs defensive play and scheme was the biggest reason for Lebron's failure.

Does anyone really want to watch knowledgeable ex-coaches with no personality break down game film from any sport? It would have lower ratings than nbc.

[MavsSuperFan]

Yeah, but his stance is much more reasonable. Skip thinks Lebron choked because of "excruciating pressure" while Cuban thinks the Mavs defensive play and scheme was the biggest reason for Lebron's failure.

Honestly I think Lebron choked against the Mavs. If he plays up to his potential the heat win.

lol you only think this because he's black. he's utterly clueless.

[pauk]

does anybody have any articles or videos of stephen a showing his basketball knowledge?

All articles/videos where he argues with Skip Bayless.... compared to him he has basketball knowledge..

[And 1]

Their personalities? I guess not much.

But how much do we actually know about Skip Bayless and Stephen A. Smith?

"Kwame Brown is a bonafide scrub. He can't play."

"We're talking about Kwame Brown"

What's more sad is that they aren't even elite trolls.

I would enjoy a

NumberSix vs TheBigVeto Vs KenethGriffin Vs Pauk roundtable discussion more.

These 3 aren't Trolls, they just keep it real.

I wouldn't even qualify Griff as a troll either. He's just a "Throw sh!t out there, and see what sticks" kind of poster.

TheBigVeto and NumberSix are blatant trolls. They don't even try to hide it. Pauk...well he's just an idiot. You think callnig Yao Ming a better player than Kobe is "keeping it real"?

NumberSix is actually hilarious though.

I haven't really watched much of either talk bball, but from listening to them talk about football, SAS knows his stuffs -- Skip is just an idiot.

Skip has his mancrush on Tebow, still gets his panties in a bunch over last year. I remember in one of his talks with Terrell Suggs he went as far as to say that Tebow was better than Flacco.

Oh, I didn't know he said that, sorry. That's what I like to call having a "97 Bulls" moment, where you post nonsense because you're bored. Everyone here's been guilty of that though.
