Because LeBron is a public figure who is expected to comport himself with a certain level of decorum. Instead, whenever he gets criticized or called out, he loses his temper and does things like this. I've heard stories of LeBron threatening a teenager who insulted him at an autograph signing a few years ago, and the teen was the one who got trespassed and escorted away from the event.
I can only imagine how many “Bronny is TRASH” posts but he brought hit on himself by saying Bronny is better than half the league and drafting his son when he’s not nba material. People are going to have an opinion about his antics
obody gets more social media hate than Lebron posts how many points he made in a game in 90% of the comments is going to be negative you ain't even got a post man you can just show a picture of him and people are going to post negative comments about him and especially about his son the hate is so frustrating because a lot of these media's people just regurgitate the hate because they know they got a fan base in that
Lol ATTACKED....seriously omg! How about criticized and at time harshly criticized. In my opinion the word attack is to strong for what SAS does. I know he goes over the top sometime, but what's the worst thign he's done in media...call Kwame a Bust...IDK.
They were talking so negatively about Kyrie not getting a shot. That was his private business!!!! Yes everyone knew because he wasn't playing but you don't get to talk bad about his decision.
Because if he didn't y'all goofies would still have something to say. If your logic is correct why do you care if he announced that or not. JS. You could have just ignored it but you didn't.
@@deyontehundly6601 He looked so uncomfortable with just nodding while LeBalco was being called out for editing and narrative controlling behind the scenes.
2 reasons. LeBron is still the face of the NBA by a large margin. That is #1. #2 Ratings are at a all time low for the NBA as a whole. LeBron takes hard stances on certain things that polarizes him. That is really what this is about in my opinion. I am referring to his stance on the Election also. No pro or college athlete who has a brand should be announcing their political stance regardless which side they support. It just begs for a polarizing view. He also knows his son does not deserve his spot in the NBA who is not good enough that got their on his own merit and talent.
Yall americans are weird AF. Yall hate Lebron so much now and probably praise when he retires. In Europe Lebron is the goat, we respect him for what he has accomplished. Im telling you now, America will be the most hated place on earth one day.
In a lot of ways social media has regressed us all into middle schoolers, arguing over what's popular, who's popular, why it's popular, who said what about who, etcetera etcetera.
So true. I loved it when Windy said how players absolutely fall out of their chairs now if smn gets crosses over, whereas back n the day it was low key ,, the stark contrast in that is telling. Back then you’d talked about with your friend but now the whole has an opinion on it. Frightening stuff
@@mfjosh6422plus they point finger guns after big plays. Idiocracy confirmed. Dumb AF. Lowest IQ society EVER. Not just athletes. NEARLY EVERYONE except those of us who call it out. ACCOUNTABILITY.

Windy is right that shows like First Take drive interest in the NBA, but I would argue that that’s a shame. Shows like this has corrupted the way even the fans talk about sports.
yup that for sure...and maybe people are on his case for his Diddy envy ......!!!...He is out there selling us morals and values ...but not for himself and this piece of junk bunny he put in the NBA....stealing a spot for a real player
@@Paulafan5shame on bron for showing bronny he believed in him to the world, especially since he probably still has trauma from his dad never being there
SAS speaking on this is WILD. Hes problem #1, His WHOLE brand is NEGATIVITY. SAS loves nothing more than running down Athletes. SAS knows they are referring to people like him. Acts like he doesnt know when they say MEDIA who they are talking about. You could tell SAS was taking this personal. That "particular person" SAS was talking about was him.
Facts. Every single time the players have any thing to say defending themselves or controlling their narrative it’s a problem for him because he can’t benefit from it. He needs the story lines and the negative narratives to create topics for the show to be “number 1”. I just hate everything the media stands for now because there is no integrity everything is for ratings like he said
Lebron is from the generation where " everybody gets a trophy" once you bring up negative things about their performance they get easily offended and super sensitive. They cant take criticism.
This entire segment from Stephen A was the exact thing the original tweet was talking about and the second segment was more egregious. Man yelling at the top of his lungs and waving his hands when he talks has no business calling anyone sensitive.
Yeah that's how I feel. I don't mind Lebron, but the coverage of everything he does is a lot. I appreciate his greatness but don't need a constant daily reminder.
Because it hit a nerve that he didn't like he better be careful of his words that one day in life it come back to hunt him these are people life's you talking about and get paid money to humiliate them no matter whether it's true or not sports or people's personnel lives
Stephen A. bragging about being #1 is always laughable! He doesn’t even realize if they fired him today, ESPN will still be #1! Reasons why they haven’t paid him that big money yet.
He can't pronounce words that end with an "a". It's always an "r" added. Arear- Area Rob Polinker- Polinka Agendar- Agenda Luker Doncic- Luka Doncic And the list goes on. 😂😂😂😂
He actually makes money on social media. He has millions of people that follow him and try and engage. His announcement was for them. Your opinion about how you feel doesn't matter to anyone outside fo you. Same as my own. But I have enough self awareness to know that. Hopefully you'll learn that also.
Why can't he though? This segment is literally proving their point. You all and the media turn everything negative. Like saying I'm getting off social is so harmful and an issue . You guys make everything an issue.
Media literally controls world narrative and algorithms and this dude here angry at the players. ESPN has had a hold on how the game is covered. SAS is angry and defensive for a reason.
But Stephen A thats the same reason your unnamed sources never want to reveal themselves cause THEY DONT WANT TO BE CHALLENGED ON CREDIBILITY so dont make that a double standard it go both ways
Storytelling? Off Balance? There’s plenty of topics to talk about but per usual y’all talk in circles. Because according to y’all it makes “the most viewership” when there are plenty of other topics to talk about and if you PUSH THEM at WILL, it’ll get the viewership eventually. - The Cavs were undefeated, and wasn’t talked about not once until they lost. “Oh yeah the Celtics reminded the world who they are” NOBODY FORGOT!!! Cavs got 0 credit and it was made as a quick take. - Talked about the “weak draft class”? Haven’t even mentioned the #1 overall pick not once have you? say his name: Zaccharie Risacher. he’s gonna take over the Atlanta Hawks once Trey Young requests a trade. Y’all don’t talk about him because he’s French! “Oh but you talk about Victor Wembanyama” they really don’t, not all the time anyway. But i guarantee you when Cooper Flagg comes in the league y’all will glaze him like Caitlin Clark because he’s American. Remember when everyone said Scoot Henderson will be better than Brandon Miller? how’s that turning out huh? that’s why you play college basketball. Cooper Flagg got embarrassed in the final minutes of the Duke vs Kentucky game. but nobody will talk about that. and don’t you DARE rope the fans in this, when the fans are the ones paying the salary for the sports organization and players. they have every right to make a judgment, they don’t twist narrative like you (the media) do.
Media saying “it’s not the media, it’s the audience.” is crap. It’s like saying that because drivers always slow down to glance at an accident that took place, it means they love accidents. So we need more of it.
Stephen A. has a point. The negative or controversial videos get the clicks and views. If folks are really “tired of the negativity,” then they need to stop tuning in. People say the same thing about politics, but negative ads work, so political operatives continue to use them.
Been trying to find a reason to listen to Stephen A for this last year. This pretty much lets me know that listening to him is a waste of time. He is the Dallas Cowboys of commentating.
YA REACHING HE DIDN'T MAKE NO MISTAKE WITH BRONNY. YA JUST JEALOUSY BECAUSE YA DADDY COULDN'T HELP YOU OUT. YA JUST BETA MALES. Only lebron hater care about bronny..
He successfully got his son to the NBA. There wasn't a mistake. What his son does with that opportunity is on him. The father did his job whether you clowns and non-fathers agree or not.
Stephen A sounds angry. Why? Truth hit a nerve? Him and Skip destroyed sports media. Does not matter i listen to podcasts with former players who really know the game and is more than just hot takes.
Stephen A and Skip Bayless ruined sports coverage. They both made a career out of slandering and attacking athletes. Stephen A, truth hurts. That’s why you’re upset.
Announcing on social media that you not gonna be on social media is kinda funny. If you didn’t know this was Lebrun James this could be a high school tweet.
*Bron gon leave social for hateful rhetoric after he posted a montage with out of context clips of the former prez to incite hate in the voters.... Makes total sense*
Stephen A just don't get it... He says in his Defense of National media "You played like hot Garbage last night " ..is that negativity or fact.. Stephen, thats negative cause hot garbage doesn't play basketball 1st of all... Point being it's how you say it. .Next ,how many times have you said he was a liar or insinuated that he wasn't telling the truth?.. Ive personally seen many times..Finally I'd like to point out how Stephen A likes to point out how sensitive the players are when someone criticizes them.. But funny things Your group does the exact same thing when someone criticizes them... Takes it personal, but yet can't seem to understand why the players don't like it... And then to add insult to injury SA likes to Bragg about knowing personal things about players but does the honorable and keeps it to himself.. Wow! You want a cookie for doing the right thing ? This is exactly why people call you a sell out bruh..
So which part is negative? The part where his son isn't playing well and is only there to fulfill the story of father/son teammates. The part where he has low defensive effort. Maybe the part where he complains about politics then plays victim when people react.
This lets me know how much LeBron moves the needle and gets views. For them to do multiple segments on this is crazy. But he only does one segment about KD calling him a clown. He is such a hypocrite because he personally attacks players all the time. Kyrie personal attack. Westbrook personal attack. He has players he does that with
Finally! The person who is solely responsible for injecting more political hate and negativity into the NBA than all other players combined is finally taking a break. I can only laugh at people that cry and blame others for what they created themselves. You want to know why Lebron is such a big guy? Because a normal sized human body could not contain the amount of hypocrisy this guys spews out on a regular basis.
yall really discuss it for 22 mins??
The Goat himself. I see you
Thanks for all the games highlight really appreciate it. LOVE from NIGERIA❤
Because it's always alarming when a public figure lashes out like this. ESPN is concerned for LeBron's mental health.

Does Stephen A like farts or something? He always uses passing gas as an analogy
Lebron making it known that he’s leaving social media, to come back and announce his triumphant return to social media 😂 Such a diva!
Discussing someone logging off Instagram for 22 mins is crazy😂😂
Stephen A. has a point. The negative or controversial videos get the clicks and views. If folks are really “tired of the negativity,” then they need to stop tuning in. People say the same thing about politics, but negative ads work, so political operatives continue to use them.
Been trying to find a reason to listen to Stephen A for this last year. This pretty much lets me know that listening to him is a waste of time. He is the Dallas Cowboys of commentating.
Stephen A said he wasn’t taking this personally 😭😭 LIES! A nerve was definitely struck 😆
If Stephen A says he didnt take it personally, you should know, he absolutely took it personally.
This is one reason the ratings are falling off. Did this really need a topic?
How bad on the ratings?
How is this a 22 minute discussion on national television 💀
Lmao we don’t care if he’s on social media. He knows he made a mistake with bronny and now he trynna hide from it
It was all about him.
YA REACHING HE DIDN'T MAKE NO MISTAKE WITH BRONNY. YA JUST JEALOUSY BECAUSE YA DADDY COULDN'T HELP YOU OUT. YA JUST BETA MALES. Only lebron hater care about bronny..
You don’t care but you came on here to comment…okay 👌🏾🤣
He successfully got his son to the NBA. There wasn't a mistake. What his son does with that opportunity is on him. The father did his job whether you clowns and non-fathers agree or not.
@nsmith3128 THEY HATE FATHER HOOD ELON MUSK WILL NEVER MAKE IT HARDER FOR HIS CHILDREN.
Stephen A sounds angry. Why? Truth hit a nerve? Him and Skip destroyed sports media. Does not matter i listen to podcasts with former players who really know the game and is more than just hot takes.
Stephen A and Skip Bayless ruined sports coverage. They both made a career out of slandering and attacking athletes. Stephen A, truth hurts. That’s why you’re upset.
100% facts
💯
Yeah everybody hates hearing the truth about themselves
Brian is a glizzy gladiator
Announcing on social media that you not gonna be on social media is kinda funny. If you didn’t know this was Lebrun James this could be a high school tweet.
He’s a billionaire who has passive income through social media, that tweet goes beyond personal feelings
*Bron gon leave social for hateful rhetoric after he posted a montage with out of context clips of the former prez to incite hate in the voters.... Makes total sense*
Stephen A just don't get it... He says in his Defense of National media "You played like hot Garbage last night " ..is that negativity or fact.. Stephen, thats negative cause hot garbage doesn't play basketball 1st of all... Point being it's how you say it. .Next ,how many times have you said he was a liar or insinuated that he wasn't telling the truth?.. Ive personally seen many times..Finally I'd like to point out how Stephen A likes to point out how sensitive the players are when someone criticizes them.. But funny things Your group does the exact same thing when someone criticizes them... Takes it personal, but yet can't seem to understand why the players don't like it... And then to add insult to injury SA likes to Bragg about knowing personal things about players but does the honorable and keeps it to himself.. Wow! You want a cookie for doing the right thing ? This is exactly why people call you a sell out bruh..
Excellent show
Stop Interrupting The Segment Molly. Good Grief She Is Annoying And Irritating.
nice tits molly
Everybody looked annoyed and uncomfortable when Stephen A smith was talking lmaoo
Cusa diddy
☝️💯
Take that, Take That
So which part is negative? The part where his son isn't playing well and is only there to fulfill the story of father/son teammates. The part where he has low defensive effort. Maybe the part where he complains about politics then plays victim when people react.
This lets me know how much LeBron moves the needle and gets views. For them to do multiple segments on this is crazy. But he only does one segment about KD calling him a clown. He is such a hypocrite because he personally attacks players all the time. Kyrie personal attack. Westbrook personal attack. He has players he does that with
Y’all never name your sources why should he have to name what he’s exactly talking about?
I've been watching first take for almost 10 years and now all of the sudden I find molly extremely attractive, and I don't know why
Me neither.
Lol
I think most people should try to take a break from social media. The brain needs to relax sometimes instead of constantly consuming random content.
SHUT UP MOLLY!!!!
Rapper Tupac once sang “ instead of help a Ninja you destroy a brother “
Finally! The person who is solely responsible for injecting more political hate and negativity into the NBA than all other players combined is finally taking a break. I can only laugh at people that cry and blame others for what they created themselves.
You want to know why Lebron is such a big guy? Because a normal sized human body could not contain the amount of hypocrisy this guys spews out on a regular basis.
Yea SAS he was talking about you and u kno it 😂😂
Legacy media is already on its way out. Independent podcasters are the brave ones!
Is anybody else getting sick of Molly’s sensitive input? She listens only to point out or argue against someone’s morality or something. It’s annoying
