CUT THE MIC OFF
Stephen A. Smith names the two biggest things he holds against LeBron James as a basketball player, blaming him for the decline of the NBA Slam Dunk Contest and questioning why he never developed a true on court rivalry with another superstar.
Smith argues that LeBron’s decision to never participate in the Slam Dunk Contest influenced other NBA stars to stay away, hurting one of the biggest attractions of All Star Weekend. He points to legends like Kobe Bryant, Vince Carter and Tracy McGrady as examples of elite players who embraced the competition.
His second criticism is that LeBron has never had a consistent individual nemesis, someone who matches up against him and brings genuine hostility and competitiveness every time they meet. Smith says the rivalry with Stephen Curry was more about the teams than two players going head to head because they play different positions and have completely different physical profiles.
He believes the closest moments came when Kevin Durant joined Golden State and faced LeBron in the NBA Finals, or when LeBron first teamed up with Dwyane Wade in Miami. For Smith, the intense buildup to the Philadelphia 76ers and Boston Celtics matchup is exactly the kind of individual rivalry and competitive tension he wishes LeBron had brought to the game.

Shump lost me here. At what point is basketball going to be acknowledged as a team sport when it comes to championships? lol
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.”
😭😭😭 dawg what am I watching
Jontay Porter took out a $500,000 loan on his house and put all of it on Russian ping-pong. He lost it. The house got sold.
In the video below, the former Raptors big man sits down with The New Yorker in a gray sweater, calm, like a guy who still owns a house.
He told the magazine he has wagered at least $500 million in his life. More than $50 million of it went through FanDuel in one 18-month stretch. He went undrafted in 2019, then averaged 3.7 points in 37 games for Memphis.
In April 2024 the NBA banned him for life. He pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud and is still waiting on his sentence.
Would you rather make the NBA and move $500 million, or never make the league and keep your house?
