Of course I’m not talking about like it’s torn out or it’s torn meniscus or broken anything those are the real injuries but I know he’s managing when he fully comes back and then able to play because he could play on Wednesday but somehow now play Friday and he had a perfect game
How? He apologized for saying what he said while Paul was Present on the show but let it be known that what he was saying to Paul was Factual The apology was for Paul not for Kawhi bc what he said about Kawhi and him not being there in the Postseason is absolutely true lmao
PG doesn't deserve an apology, there's nothing to apologize for... Kawhi is always injured, PG is always left on his own, its a fucking FACT. And as for PG's response, all class. BUT these excuses are getting outta hand.... PG is OVERRATED, Kawhi is OVERRATED and neither of them are needle movers. Kawhi is at least a WINNER, but Paul George isn't a winner, he's got LOSER DNA, LOSER ENERGY and always has.
For amplyfying a narrative that was not needed to be amplyfied.He always says he speaks for black people. This is not speaking for jaylon brown. Whites will criticize the way he move enough, we don't need our own somewhat tearing him down. Not one of our brilliant, talented brothers
@@jazdavies2407 How is he jealous when SAS gets paid millions by ESPN. And he ain't pocket watching when he's always encouraging black athletes to get paid! You got it wrong bro
Stephen A been doing a lot of apologizing recently and to add insult to injury, they be half apology and half trash talk LMAO 😂😂😂 He be tryna apologize while also emphasizing that he didnt lose the debate 💀💀💀
I don't think Leonard has an issue with media. He has an issue with SAS. You know how Lebron never mentions or acknowledges Skip Bayless? Same thing with Kawhi 😂
I get both sides but SAS didn't need to apologize. Kwahi "Next Yr" Leonard has missed too much time it's really that simple. No other profession in the world would allow this! NONE! It's not right to the paying customer and we won't tolerate it for much longer. SAS keep holding them to account.
@@KetreyalBibbins-vx1tebro he sat out a whole year before when he wasn’t injured what are you talking about? He’s been missing the playoffs every year since he’s won it back in 19 it’s 24 now 5 years of missing the playoffs. Ain’t no excuse for that.
The Clippers should let Kawhi sit from the beginning of the season all the way to March and let him play in March to get himself back into basketball shape and healthy for the playoff.
At the end of the day KAWHI LEONARD going to be a future hall of famer he do have achievements just look it up. Probably would have a lot more if his injuries not Robbing his career
@@hanspatmpouma1183 he will fry both of you with his eyes closed , maybe at the same time , watch your mouth, u dont tell plumber or driver how to do his job dont you?
@@hiramclarkebeats4295 l get what you are saying but PG answers give me vibes of a lack of confidence. And the reason is clearly his inconsistent performances in the playoffs. Is it fair for me to say that? And l ain't comparing myself to PG
I respect that. What he said was my view point of the entire situation. It’s ok to say what you feel about khawi but considering the relationship Paul George has with not only him but the clippers he could have read the room a little better and held it in. That put PG in a bad position. With that being said the facts are the facts.
SAS: kawhi being his teammate was the furthest thing from my mind Also SAS: you should know a little something about your TEAMMATE!!!!! Not being available!!!!!! 😂😂
Very savvy.. Giving a legitimate apology to P. Which was a classy move, while standing by what he said. Nobody can accuse Stephen A. Smith of flip flopping.. I appreciate the realness.
SAS speaks in the moment for a living. Literally everyone who speaks in the moment says dumb stuff often. Most won’t acknowledge or apologize. When a man does it shows class to our younger generation. It shows to say what you wanna say in the moment but be prepared for any consequences whether in the moment or you have to sit on it and come to a realization. Either way SAS is a class act and should be admired. Keep this man safe
I think you’re not hearing what he’s saying, I believe he’s saying he wants to play winning basketball rather than just join a stacked team…That’s what I took away.
Knicks Get: - Paul George Clippers Get: - Bojan Bogdanovic - Mitchell Robinson - Donte Divincenzo or Alec Burks A lineup of Brunson, PG, OG, Julius, and Hartenstein would definitely be a contending team.
@@TheCanicholas He has a player option that he can opt into for $48Ms this summer. If he does that, then he can be traded by the Clippers. If he opts out, then he is an unrestricted free agent and can only sign with teams using cap space or via sign and trade.
That was SAS talking out of both sides of my mouth as an apology I've ever heard..the problem is that these analysts think they have to speak on every little thing..damn!!!
i don't think pg has an issue with how stephen a feels about kawhi, it's the fact that he even needs to keep bringing it up in situations he really doesn't need to. stephen turns these digs into catch phrases and branding. the sas brand shouldn't have to always include taking shots at players, no matter how factual. especially at events like the finals pregame shows.. inflammatory remarks about people aren't light hearted just cause you giggle after you say it.
In that industry it’s rare to do this , but all in all . I think it’s good for the sports media because they really need these guys. Not the other way around !
Come on S.A.S As a professional speaker you should know this! Don't as a person a personal professional question ..... without talking to both professional people
KW needs to retire if he can't give 100%. I appreciate trying to play, but if you're not healthy, maybe he should retire and preserve his body for life after the NBA.
SAS shouldn’t apologize. Everything he said was facts about Kawhi. He never said Kawhi was trash or faking injury. SAS said Kawhi is never available but when it’s time to get his money he’s ready.
He said, " we exhausted alot out of Kawhi" that was back pay, he owes us Clipper Nation and so does push off P, pod cast P, and what ever other "P" you want to use
Love the show Stephen A. We all have families. 15 years from now no one will care whether PG has a championship or not. PG is old and injury prone. Get your money PG 💰💰
Bruh it’s disgrace hearing Paul George talk it doesn’t even sound like he even wants to win a championship there’s too many players in the nba right now that are better than him as of right now
I just believe he's at a place where he wants to win a championship and wants to do it somewhere where the team is playing the right type of basketball that he wants to play and be the best player he can be. Simple.
This guy has to make someone an apology like every other day lmao 😂.. it’s ridiculous
Facts every other day meaning he’s ignorant in real time or a coward that can’t stand on what he said
You ain't ever lied
What has happened to sports these days!?
💯
Of course I’m not talking about like it’s torn out or it’s torn meniscus or broken anything those are the real injuries but I know he’s managing when he fully comes back and then able to play because he could play on Wednesday but somehow now play Friday and he had a perfect game
Steven Apology Smith
This shit crazy
He's been doing a lot of apologizing lately.
😂😂🤣
Exactly!! Always apologizing shows he’s such a liar
You put him in a bad spot ? Dude, you’re a lying A 🕳️
That was a back handed apology
How? He apologized for saying what he said while Paul was Present on the show but let it be known that what he was saying to Paul was Factual
The apology was for Paul not for Kawhi bc what he said about Kawhi and him not being there in the Postseason is absolutely true lmao
😂 half apologize, half talk shit. That's not a real apology
It's not a half apology it's an apology for putting PG in a tough spot. That's all. He has and will always have his opinion on Kawhi
PG doesn't deserve an apology, there's nothing to apologize for... Kawhi is always injured, PG is always left on his own, its a fucking FACT. And as for PG's response, all class. BUT these excuses are getting outta hand.... PG is OVERRATED, Kawhi is OVERRATED and neither of them are needle movers.

Now apologize to us for this audio
Underrated Comment.
Now apologize to Jaylen Brown please
For what
It’s clearly you didn’t watch the entire segment since you said he owe an apology which he don’t

Apologize to max for firing him 😂
ESPN fired Max 🙄🙄
ESPN fired Max 🙄🙄
Exactly
@@MichaelSimmons-z5cLet's pretend Stephen A talking shit didn't have anything to do with it.
You weren't thinking about how Kawhi would feel about you putting Paul George in that position?! That is BS Stephen A.
This is why you don't get ACTIVE NBA players to join the ESPN panel during the playoffs.
Facts lmfao
They need to bring back inside the NBA
You're saying he's never available at the same time you're saying you know he's injured.
Dude’s not consistent with his takes 😂
Sooooo if Kawhi is injured, is he available or not? Injured = not available. It's the same thing.
@@takuanfuanit’s literally the same thing they’re athlete worshippers so they get down on their knees for these athletes
True and his main issue seems like that Kawhi getting paid.
@@grostoss4259 hahahahaha it's the same old shit he did to Kyrie.
Why is SA so concerned about players getting their money
He’s jealous and pocket watching.
He wish someone would pay him 50 million a year. Smh
Typical hater
@@jazdavies2407 How is he jealous when SAS gets paid millions by ESPN. And he ain't pocket watching when he's always encouraging black athletes to get paid! You got it wrong bro

leave Kawhi alone he didn't do anything to you
Kawhi should retire
He did. He got paid, by the money we offered to the game. Just like taxpayers can criticize the government
@@tommytexter4054wtf he’s injured. Did he kill Derrick Rose for blowing out his knee?
@@johnnycash8567totally different kawhi maybe injured now but he’s been load mama him since San Antonio pop taught him well
He hasn’t done nothing in the playoffs since 19 too
“ oh i meant that shit “ 😂😂
You been hating on Kawhi for years since he don't F*** with you media people. And you being bitter towards him for years makes you seem very petty.
I don't think Leonard has an issue with media. He has an issue with SAS. You know how Lebron never mentions or acknowledges Skip Bayless? Same thing with Kawhi 😂
I respect the fact that he acknowledged the position he put PG in and apologized,alot of people in the media would not have admitted they were wrong
After PG's injury im happy the brother is still playing basketball lets not forget that .
Thats the respect we missing as a nation. Solid 👍🏿
This dude is apologizing every week about something... 😂😂😂
They criticize for ring chasing and they criticize you for not ring chasing.
Man facts I’m like what the hell? Now if PG go join the Nuggets or Celtics he gonna cry about him making a super team smh
I thought sports were all about winning the highest accolades?
I get both sides but SAS didn't need to apologize. Kwahi "Next Yr" Leonard has missed too much time it's really that simple. No other profession in the world would allow this! NONE! It's not right to the paying customer and we won't tolerate it for much longer. SAS keep holding them to account.
Cause he been hurt tf wrong with you.

Play hard. Train hard. Give it your all. If you don’t win a ring, fine. But, get all of the money that you can.
the right mindset
The Clippers should let Kawhi sit from the beginning of the season all the way to March and let him play in March to get himself back into basketball shape and healthy for the playoff.
Your audio sound different brother. I hear a lil background static noise just the same as I hear you.
Shut up. You still took time out of your life to listen and comment so shut up
Brings me back to them no cable days 😂😂 trying to find a Channel to watch type shit
Thought I was tripping
@@Teeclutch Yeah yk S.A be loud asl im like why he sound so low😹
I really thought it was my phone
Kwahi needs to retire then. If he can’t play a whole season why you sign an extension?!?! Don’t apologize for speaking truth!
Why wouldn't he? If he's injured then it's within his interest to keep signing the contracts that are offered.
Lol he gonna be Injured again
miss out on money
At the end of the day KAWHI
LEONARD going to be a future hall of famer he do have achievements just look it up. Probably would have a lot more if his injuries not Robbing his career
How can you say it was the farthest thing from your mind when the joke itself was about Paul George being his teammate?
that part🤣
he lying
I feel like players act like they dont care about winning chips when they know they cant or wont get one
Exactly PG know deep down he lacks the consistency and clutchness of show out under pressure.

It's a shame because PG has the skill and the physical gifts to be one of the best ever.
Is it me or does SAS still sound funny using profanity 😂😂
He's always apologizing
I'm glad at least he does apologize.
SAS 😂😂😂 my guy!! STOP apologizing
Kawhi came back from 3 major surgeries only to come back as “Kawhi”. Who the hell has ever done that?
No dont apologize!!!! Mr sensitive has to take it! Paul George needs to retire period!
When you have to apologize almost twice a week all the time your apologies hold little value
Stephen A Smith is to Kawhi Leonard as Skip Bayless is to Lebron James.
Someone at your level publicly apologizing when youre in the wrong, its mighty big of you, your mama raised you well
It’s not a real apology. It’s just a headline.
@DecaturQue it's a apology. Simple as that
@@DecaturQue PG: stop shitting on my teammate.
SAS: my bad, shoulda waited until you were gone to continue shitting on your boy on national tv

Telling a grown man what they should want is crazy
SAS: kawhi being his teammate was the furthest thing from my mind
Also SAS: you should know a little something about your TEAMMATE!!!!! Not being available!!!!!! 😂😂

2 people ≠ 1 Team
Steven I'm so sorry Smith. Agree with Stephen A thought. Wasn't the right time but Kawhi has been fleecing the Clippers
this a back handed apology. you even contradicted yourself with your take on Kawhi. Why do you make a point to find a player to go at personally?
I think you’re not hearing what he’s saying, I believe he’s saying he wants to play winning basketball rather than just join a stacked team…That’s what I took away.
PG please go New York bro..
He’ll no.
