"Why does ESPN keep putting him all over the place"
He's probably a big star the punkass balla demographic. always follow the $$$
Smith just said that he thinks the Pistons are the favorite to win the le because "to be the man you have to beat the man." I find that quite funny and hypocritical because the year after we won our le he immidiately jumped on the Lakers band wagon and gave us no credit.
Every time this gu opens his mouth I cring. Why does ESPN keep putting him all over the place. I dont know anyone who is a fan of any team that likes this guy.

WOOOOOOOO!
Stephen A. doesnt know what hes talkin about. SA beat Det once, and almost beat them w/out Tim. If its a SA-DET matchup in the finals, I take SA in 5 or 6 games.
I actually find Stephen A. Smith quite funny the one that I can't stand is Greg Anthony.
ESPN produces a very shallow product.
Although hypocritical as that may be, I agree with that statement %100.Smith just said that he thinks the Pistons are the favorite to win the le because "to be the man you have to beat the man."
The crown is in Detroit, until somebody comes in and takes it.
He talks really loud with his eyebrows at the top of his head, so he must know what he is talking about....right???
Oh yeah, hes hillarious, he just doesnt like the Spurs for some reason.
I guess is because of RASHO.
Was Greg Anthony with Portland when San Antonio swept them in 99? If he was this is why I think Anthony does not like the Spurs.
He doesn't like the Spurs. They are "too white" for him. They also play "too white" for him. I do agree with Fro though...in all sports, the champ is still the champ until someone else takes the crown. I think Detroit can still win the East and play the Spurs for the le.
Yes. He was their backup to Stoudemire, and a defensive presence that cause Pop to barely use AD that series.Was Greg Anthony with Portland when San Antonio swept them in 99?
I don't come to praise Stephen A. (Lord knows, I've had my share of e-mail exchanges with him about some of his silly takes -- he's actually responded to every e-mail I've ever sent him), but I will mitigate our hate a bit. Last night, they asked him if anyone of the top 4 in the West should fear Denver. He said that Denver was good, but that if Denver wanted to see Round 2, they'd better find a way to avoid being #7 because, in Stephen A's words "they aren't beating Tim Duncan." Compared to years gone by and other things he's said, this is about the best that we can hope for from Stephen A., but he's been fairly consistent (in his own way) in saying that a healthy Spurs team is his pick to win the West this year.
Wow, he really said that??
Perhaps the scales are starting to fall from his eyes.
I stopped listening to Steve "Asshole" Smithy, after he bashed Robinson one year (2002 I believe) saying "he has failed a franchise."
Then in 2003, after Robinson retires winning his 2nd Championship Ring, Stephen decided that David was a "huge loss" to the Spurs franchise.
In other words, he just feeds off the emotion at the time.
But, I have to admit, I love it when he rips the Lakers...
everyone on the ESPN panel hates the Spurs for some reason. They just go with the wind. If the heat are playing well they say the Heat will win the le. It's pathetic
Tim Legler has been picking the Spurs all year long.
So, I gotta disagree with that there.
SAS sucks. DA was so much better and it sucks that SAS is getting all the play now. He's just about hype and style...and not much else.
That having been said, I don't think his take is a bad one. The Pistons won the le last season and they look pretty strong again this season. Prince has improved and most of the other important pieces are back and playing well. Can't fault him for that.
He hates Rasho.
I remember him always saying how he doesn't think Rasho deserves to play lol. At least he said this all during last season...
Well, I know that "the champs are the champs until someone proves otherwise" is a popular cliche, and I admit that the Pistons are very good, but the fact that they won last year is not a convincing argument that they will win this year. The logic is flawed. After all, the Lakers and the Twolves played in the WCF last year.
Good points. I think Detroit should get respect as the defending champ but yes, I don't think they are the automatic favorites or that they will win because they are the defending champs. I still believe SA wins it all. That way he would HAVE to give the Spurs respect.
True! But the Pistons are much better than the T-wolves and Lakers, this year, and last.
No doubt I think the Spurs would beat the Pistons. But I think the Detorit / Miami series will be a win for Detroit. And not only because they beat Shaq last year, also because they won the regular season against the Heat this year (mind you, one game was only by 1 point, and one victory was sans Shaq)
Just like the marlins after they won there first world series right mutha a!?
well, there are exceptions!
Stephen A Smith picked the Wolves to win the le on opening night. Legler did too.
If ESPN wasn't such a caricature of itself, then I would consider it "credible". Sometimes I don't know if I'm watching espn or mtv.
