Dennis Rodman went 2 Vegas n the middle of a chip season with the Bulls. Those that can't play b come coaches, can't coach, b come TALK-A-ABOUTERS, like SAS

Real life is more important than a game.

Steven A . His heart could be on something else.

sellout, now you are eating your words
Kevin Hill
So when kyrie is gone for a few weeks everyone loses their mind. But when Michael Jordan leaves, (which he's done three times) no one has anything to say? That makes no sense.

I didn't know Stephen A Smith was comedian. Kyrie should retire? Where's the punch line? This dude's got a big mouth whose histrionics are second to none. Loves the limelight, doesn't he?
Mr Pepper
Go watch cosgrove prod
Slang Bender
Too many People act like no superstar has gone through difficult things in there life like MJ with the loss of his father and IT with the loss of his sister. and a handful of players who go through mental illness. All the shade the media projects on him prolly doesn't help either. Kyrie has said many times that he loves the art of basketball. and I think enjoying the sport and competing at the highest level is what keeps him happy, what keeps him distracted by other thoughts and being in the dumps. Next time you want to complain about a player remember their human beings, then think if what you have to say is really worth it or nt. Then make your decision.
Mr Pepper
Watch cosgrove prod

His recent actions shows why even though they KNEW Lebron was leaving they still chose to trade him rather than James.
That and there was probably less teams Lebron was willing to be traded to

Stephen a Smith should not be asking players to Retire. That is none of his business. Not a fan of Kyrie's recent antics, however sometimes players go through a phase. Kyri

Mj Gutierrez
Honestly he shouldn't retire he is too icy with it lol but he needs to get on a team where he could be a valuable leader for once. I say Knicks.

Stephen A. really snapped on this one. Feel like my parent just scolded Kyrie
vishal karna
Stephen a Smith should not be asking players to Retire. That is none of his business. Not a fan of Kyrie's recent antics, however sometimes players go through a phase. Kyrie has a great basketball skills, if he allows somebody to be his coach or a mentor, Kyrie can become a good leader. However prior to that Kyrie needs to be a productive teammante and that he should not be needing a coach. That is the least he can do by being a constructive and productive teammate.
Luke Brewer
No
Blitzify
no why
SUPER KAT
Stephen A is showing KI tough love.
"Is Kyrie ready to return with a real commitment for entire season?" Yes or No? Kyrie's vision was KD duo, and now it's a trio. Kyrie must push pass 3rd wheel, new duo and off the bench talk for a chip. Kyrie is a sensitive, gifted and misunderstood hero. He lost his Mom at 4 and he adores his sacificing Father. Kyrie's fans wish him the best.
ORION
Science lies about everything. Instead of proving the earth is flat in which you walk on a flat surface every single day. Longitude & Latitude is used to measure distance on a flat surface and compass is direction is for a flat earth as well. The flight plan to go anywhere around the world is measured by longitude and latitude and when the distance is measured by a line a flat surface. Is there any debate their?
ORION
@Jin cell phones are a creation that has nothing to do with nature.. like the vaccines you inject in your body, like cloned animals they don't tell you about, like the large Hadron collider in Sweden. Yes Science is responsible for many a horrible atrocities.
Jin
Do you believe smart phone is real? Do you agree smartphone works because of "Science?"
Michael _te87
I love that Stephen A brought up Kobe & his work ethic, I hope Kyrie watches & hears the name “Kobe Bryant” & gets his act together.
Idk what Kyrie is going through, & god forbid it’s something really serious, but he needs to get his act together.
TheoDaKillah
Terrible take
MJ VS
KYRIE!!!!!! Unprofessional bad teammate... bad for the Nba organization this dude is useless... he has a talent but he doesn’t love basketball... better to stop playing basketball... and send your self to facilty cause you need a help mentally and spiritualy..
alida flus
Fire 🔥
Mike Steward
Kyrie is the worst teammate ever! “Just needed a break”.
Hey kyrie- if any of us said that to our job we would be fired..you have a job also and get laud millions so grow up and do it!!!
JoshAllenyaDigg?
Kyrie accidentally slipped off the edge of flat earth........🤣🤣🤣
alida flus

Destiny Townes

Stfu Stephen I’ll knock you out
Jc Kc
Yeah definitely why pay 35 million to a guy who doesn't want to play.
Michael m shabazz
Kyrie is training in the hyperbolic time chamber so he would be 10x better then the Lakers team by himself
Jefferson Candia
Stephen A is bitter Kyrie does not want him LOL
Planet Cuba
Come play in Cuba league for $40 a month.
Kevin Ervins
We don't have a lot of brothers in a position like his, but I guess he has forgotten who he is. At least pull Lamar to the side and tell what he thinks he could improve on. Help brother out????? I wish I could talk to him but I'm sure he is probably stuck in his ways. Smh
Kled Ablaze
He's so dramatic. Like baby type of guy. He wants to be a leader. He wants to be called a GOAT. He just want his numbers. Not to win.
Kevin Ervins
Stephen A. Smith is a straight hater and he is the white men puppet. I never thought he would catch up with Jason Whitlock. Smh. I am mostly referring to the way he speak about Lamar Jackson. It's utterly ridiculous how he treats Lamar Jackson.
Notorious Smith
Wow
Dani I
Yes he should
Campbell Graves
You shut your dam mouth
RJMM
Maybe Kyrie has the COVID?

Steven A. is only mildly entertaining; Kyrie is VERY entertaining. Who do you think should retire?..

When is Stephen A gonna preach his first sermon? Bishop Stephen A Smith???🤔
Jr Smoovee

Altuve Mickelson
Retire?! Maybe Kylie should take the mossberg and do the lords work. Respectfully
iliketacos
Kyrie has prioritized Kyrie. Why you all so salty? Let the man be
Jay Company
I agree with SAS, if you don't wanna play go back to doing zoom interviews.....he's played for 3 teams in a few yrs wonder why? Nets don't need him......he's a hypocrite
Joe Kowalski
Kyrie is a locker room cancer BLM league it's no longer NBA . All you BLM players can take your hot white gold digging wife's and stick it up yo a,,
KaNe
Kyrie thinks the world is flat what did yall expect?
Thomas Hall
You morons need to stop with the mask 😷 b.s.
Kevin Shell
Steve A 🤦🏿♂️ 😂😂😂😂 Calling for Kyrie Irving to retire, now if the Brooklyn Nets front office disciplined him and suspended him for the season, Steven A would cry racism.
Aidan Huvane
Stephen A doesn’t know what he’s talking about kyrie wants to play basketball but since Stephen A isn’t popular he’s just gonna say whatever
Gevalia ¿
“Chew gum and walk at the same time” lol 😭

Jin
Do you guarantee he will not do this again?
MachoManNRock
So let me get this straight...he's only missed 1 game?
Christian TookFlight
Man I love kyries game but clearly mentally he doesn’t wanna play ball anymore Steven A smith 100% right about this
Josh Otwang
Stephen A , i think you should watch a video from Cosgrove and think again and realize how genius Kyrie that even you got fooled by Him.. all I am realizing now is you sounds and looks stupid 😂😂
Dennis Eudela
Kyrie needed time... personal reasons...
Starting to doubt basketball ball is round.
Initiating new logic that ball is flat.
Basis: his games has been flat.
Kevin Keene
Seems to me that Kyrie Irving does not want to be a pawn in the social engineering scheme that the league is basically having their players advertise for
Falke Squires
So I ask you this Steven A, you think Kyrie doesn't love basketball. “Your in for a ride”
R Denell
Cleveland would have never gotten its first championship Kyrie used to be Cleveland's man... until Bron came back out of the guilt faze...
Falke Squires
Lakers are undoubtedly the best team in the Nba, Kyrie and Kd is not enough to take Lebron and the big man down. They needed that offensive force that Harden brings. If you look at the nets history they tried to bring the Celtics line up to the nets. They felt short and the great 3 point king Ray Allen. Nets is a great organization and they out smarter a lot of people.
JayDaFlexa
He chose happiness
Falke Squires
If you look at at KD is calm about everything, because he indeed knows that they will acquire 3 superstars, because what does Kyrie and Irving wants to take Lebron James down, and what does James want his first Ring with these players. Kyrie is a very smart man. The Organization succeeded.
