Gilbert Arenas | All The Smoke Interview - UPDATE: Kwame Brown starts his own Podcast!

[jilla82]

He saying the same shyt people been saying but he has a platform that makes it hard to ignore. You telling me nobody been saying folks like Stephen A and Skip been out of pocket for years?

People been shytting on fake tough guys like Matt Barnes for years.

Thing is folks with a platform ain't gonna say too much because they still tuned in and don't want to burn bridges. This nikka Kwame got nothing to lose so he unloading the clip on everybody.

what do you want SA & Skip to talk about everyday?

Im with Kwame on nearly everything except his views on them.

Pro sports needs those talking heads...its part of the ecosystem.

w/o the daily gossip youre left with only numbers and facts...it would be like PBS for sports.

People dont want to watch that...they want to talk about the side stories.

Its the same reason they were trying to get SA into MMA even though he doesnt know anything about it..
...they arent bringing in the same revenue as the major sports because nobody cares about it outside of the main fights.
Look at the biggest draws in mma...people who make for good headlines.

The exact reason Mayweather had to turn into Money May...the character sells the event

That's not a good enough reason to go super hard on Kwame and Smush and guys like Mihm got 1% of the criticism Kwame got. It wasn't fair and he is getting properly roasted for it.
And like those 'All the Smoke' guys Stephen A. is also one of these losers promoting a tough guy image telling people he's not hard to find etc. That shyt is corny and promoting violence is on the table when Black people disagree to a national audience. Kwame going left on all these guys proves all their tough talk is bullshyt. They need to stop that shyt.

funny part is kobe never really went off on Kwame to media but breh HATED smush, yet no one mentions is

This Kwame Brown Shyt is bizarre

he has all these new online fans that relate to him for some reason.

like his first clap back was kinda funny.

But the way dudes are going so hard for him now and treating him like they daddy is hella weird to me

what makes y’all so invested in him...is it some revenge of the nerds shyt??​

The same thing that motivated to make this post about it. It's a story right now. If you don't like people's response ignore it. But that's not what you're doing. I wonder why?!

Yes, it was better when they kept it stats and analysis only and kept the emotion out of it. If you gonna crap on people constantly and say sideways shyt about their effort, ability to play via injury or some stupid expectation they had based on draft status they got to be able to take criticism to. So what Kwame is shytting on them personally it's not on national television? Grow a skin like you want the players to do and eat it.

Stephen A can talk sports without the disrespect. He doesn't because that's his character. Skip is just a hater, Stephen A goes too far a lot.

 

[Ididit]

See this is what I’m talking about

how you make 60+ million in your career if you’re a trash ?

How do you play over a decade of you were trash?

Why isn’t Hasheem Thabeet ,Adam Morrison ,Darko Millicic ,Derrick Williams under that pressure ? They washed out in their PRIMES.
We have nikkas who NEVER seen Kwame play for the wizards laughing and joking around about Kwame Brown because of what the media did to him for HALF HIS LIFE.


How can a nikka who played ball but didn’t even sniff the D league or overseas call Kwame trash constantly?

How can role playing ass Matt Barnes laugh and giggle about Kwame Brown when they were the same tier of player ?


Stephen Jackson laughing and giggling about him when based on NBA career earnings the league valued both damn near the same ?

If Shaq or any other nikka on that tier wanna clown...fine but THESE nikkas ?Bro c’mon.

shyt is beyond goofy

Reminds me of when isiah lay down on the couch and said scottie pippen didn't want me on the dream team loll

You would think they would take the example of someone who played wi with him but no Kwame gets the lion share of criticism. They really can't objectively defend the disparity but instead of just apologizing they deflect. If they apologize this is over but they got egos.

im not saying Kwame cant say anything...
..but he's making it seem like a larger issue than what it is.

Its not a conspiracy theory.

If sports talk was about X's and O's nobody would watch/listen...and less people would watch sports...
...and athletes would make less money

awhile ago I said sports are male soap operas and got negged for it...
...but thats really what it is.

Stephen A can talk sports without the disrespect. He doesn't because that's his character. Skip is just a hater, Stephen A goes too far a lot.

its entertainment.
thats it.

Why adults take it serious ill never know

Athletes make millions to take that disrespect...
...its not because their skill is vital to humans

One of the comments said Jackson said

"The George Floyd thing happened "
Damn that's what you call it thought he was your boy.

That sounded off!

I wouldn't be surprised if he was exaggerating how tight he and George Floyd were.

Can't trust someone in their 40's who still has identity issues.

So the people that are used are just wreckage for the sports machine? I think that's what people are feeling in Kwame's message, it's not necessary all in the name of making a $.
This situation is proof money isn't everything.

they arent being used...they are profiting from it.

look at the conversation were having...were basically discussing whether or not its okay for one millionaire to talk about another millionaire.
This too is part of the sports machine.

None of this affects our life.

Kwame's real issue is with his peers...
...I understand him being upset at the SA's and Skip's of the world...but they were around before he picked up a basketball.

His peers are the ones that broke code

I think Kwame and oeople feeling him were under the impression he got paid to play basketball not be constantly ridiculed in the otress even after he has retired. I guess that's the difference.

I get it...but look at the first page of The Coliseum

Most threads are talking about ancillary issues.

and I would bet most people here are more serious than the avg sports fan.

Part of the genius of boxers like Ali and Mayweather...
...they understood what the game really was about.
