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.
Stephen A is the one that said he isn't hard to find. But every time somebody finds him, he never keeps the same energy.
It was never about him talking about his son in basketball. It was stephan a mentioning his parenting, etc
Joe made a massive point. Name a time a second round pick got this much media coverage for being bad. It’s usually when they’re performing.
Why nobody goes to exactly what he said
Joe “im not with the media run after fights” Also Joe : livestreams with frozen peas on his eyes
