Why are they glossing over the fact that he said as a father? He went pass talking about his play
That man questioned LeBron’s intentions as a father. That’s the issue.
I don’t understand how so many miss the entire point. Ish doesn’t surprise me cus he has a certain type of bot mentality, but Mark is supposedly educated. It’s not about Stephen A talking about Bronny as a basketball player. it’s about 2 things: 1. Stephen A criticizing Bronny’s play as a front to take jabs at Bron because he “doesn’t like him.” 2. Publicly questioning and begging Bron “as a FATHER” and using Bronnys basketball lowlights to justify. That is NOT apart of the job. When has Stephen A spoken about Giannis brother? Let alone criticize, or question his loyalty and intentions towards him brother?
I hate how they missed Joe’s point that they haven’t talked about a second round pick since bronny
SAS is a veritable clown. His manhood and ego was damaged and he can’t leave it alone.
It was never about him talking about his son in basketball. It was stephan a mentioning his parenting, etc
Why nobody goes to exactly what he said
it was a fan recording lmao
I remember when both Jordan’s sons played in college and never made it to the NBA. Nobody talked about MJ as a father on why they failed to make it to the NBA.
