He doesn't come off as dumb at all. Why do you feel like he's a dumbas?

Stephen A. Smith is amazing, I enjoy his hot, controversial and informative takes. I learned a lot from Stephen A. not on the court but off the court.

I actually got to meet him when First Take came to Toronto for the 2019 NBA Finals. The man is what you see on TV.

a lot of us have been watching him since the 'quite frankly' days.
he's a tv personality that has survived the death of tv and has found a home on social media.

He's at least entertaining. I still have no idea how Colin Cowherd, who is easily one of the dumbest people I've ever seen/heard on TV, has a job.
Who the hell likes or watches that guy?

He's a GREAT entertainer.
I don't have to agree with him to enjoy him.

I perhaps hate ESPN for deciding at some point they'd largely stop being an actual source of sports news, and instead try to profit by having loud personalities say ridiculous things in an effort to get a reaction.
God damn that was perfectly put

Young & stupid people seem to like him.
Whatevers.
Skip Bayless is huge as well.
There's a video of Jalen Rose paying out Skips basketball skills and later he admits he should've never said anything because there's a lot of money there.

I have seen a trend on ESPN last few years; instead of making solid counter arguments some of their debaters just make very dismissive comments and belittle other debaters without even acknowledging their point. That irrates me and Smith is part of that group.

He is the best personality on TV. Called the miami big 3 before anyone else. Got Kyrie interview 2 summers ago . Got magic interview this summer . Called Kyrie to bkn. The sports media would be poorer without him here.

No he disrespected my boy Andy Ruiz because he goes hard at the taqueria but if he was of the same race as him he would refer to him as a Cinderella story.

He is entertaining at times, steven is possibly the least likable thing I have seen on tv outside of maybe bill o'Reilly.
