He had a classic interview with Pip a while back. I like his show a lot.
I know most people hate Stephen A. Smith, but do you guys watch his show?
In the times I've watched it (like tonight) it's actually pretty awesome. He's not that obnoxious and his guests are top notch.
Is there another sports show that gets so many top of the line guests all the time?

Who's Stephen A. Smith??
Quite Frankly, Thank you...quite frankly.
Did you catch me on Letterman last night? I was HOT...HOT!
No, but I caught Beyonce before you came on, and then when they announced you, I turned it off...quite frankly!!Did you catch me on Letterman last night? I was HOT...HOT!
Well, quite frankly, you missed when Dave said I smelled great too! That Dave, he is HOT! HOT!
when i was gonna see it, my TV turned off by itself. so i guess the TV doesn't like him.
Stevie A Smith annoys the F out of me...
HOWEVA...
he gets such good guests...seriously...like everybody who is anybody...and thats all I have to say about that.
Also, I'm so happy Kelly Clarkson won Grammy's, I love any chance to watch her.
Too much info?
I saw RJ on there tonight. He mentioned something about SAS and DAL being on the heels of DET and Steven A. said something along the lines of "you dont even need to mention Dallas, they aren't making it out of the west"
Well when the man is right, the man is right.
wasn't it Nate Lundy who said obnoxious was a bad thing when he ran mouse off the radio?
I take the man in small doses. He thinks because he played college ball and he has been interviewing these players that he's better than most of the fans that watch his show. I think that neither the fans or media know what it's like to be a professional athlete myself.
I will say this: He is much better on QF than on NBA Shootaround. He's horrible on that show. I am tired of hearing RAAAHHHSO.
But if you can't say something nice, then end the post.
I think his voice, face, and entire existence is obnoxious at all times
Those are my sentiments too. I don't watch QF faithfully but enjoy it when I do but when he's on NBA Shootaround he acts like it's still his show, that's obnoxious!
I like him much better as the guy who comes in for 5 minutes and then goes away. Being an in-studio analyst requires degrees of gray in arguments. Like most sports columnists, he lives in a black-and-white world. He is concerned about picking the winner of a game rather than saying "If team X can get back in transition, they will cut off Team Y's offense, making it easier to beat the team."
Who's the better team is different than who is going to win today. There are 82 games and saying the "Bulls don't have a chance at beating the Heat" means, in the long run, the Heat are the better team. But I have yet to see a team in the NBA win all the games they are supposed to, and it's not always the better teams' fault when they do lose. It's just the law of averages.
If I want to know about why a trade was made, I want Steven A. If I want to know how a trade is going to work out, I'm not thrilled with him in that role because he paints two players - good and bad - not communicating that it's expectations that determine that player's perception and perhaps, despite the size of his contract or the previous role that player has had, he may fill a need for the team that traded for said player.
For instance, what New Jersey asked of Keith Van Horn and what Dallas asks of him are two completely different things. Is he worth his contract? No, but that doesn't mean he can't play a vital role for the Dallas Mavericks in their quest to win the West. So expecting KVH to underperform in Dallas doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but that is the type of thing I have heard him say. It's also why I don't like hearing "RAHHSO" because the Spurs expect him to defend on the frontline, double team when asked to, crash the boards, and take shots around the rim. They aren't giving him 15 shots a game so of course his production is down from his days in Minnesota. Now trading for Nazr Mohammad may have been an indication that the Spurs were dissatisfied with his play, and then maybe you start to wonder. But looking at the numbers and telling me a guy sucks...I can do that sitting at my computer right now. I expect analysts to be experts; I don't want to feel smarter than they are. That's why I'm not thrilled about the "voice of the people" concept Disney has tried with guys like Steven A. and Dennis Miller. '
It's not that Steven A. is obnoxious or ignorant; he strikes me as a very intelligent and thoughtful man. There are just certain things about NBA Shootaround that don't play to his strengths -- interviewing, being an insider who's cultivated relationships with the players, and directing traffic on his own show.
I'll watch Quite Frankly if any of the spurs players will be the guest....Even if its late night here...i think its 11pm here in Ohio...
specially if the guest is Timmy...
wait...i have a question...did they already invited Timmy?
I've seen it a couple of times w/Magic, Iverson. He does speak the brother man talk w/the brothers but does he ever have white guests?
John Elway has been on the show.I've seen it a couple of times w/Magic, Iverson. He does speak the brother man talk w/the brothers but does he ever have white guests?
I need a translator to watch that show, and English is my first language.
He sucks, and always has.
I thought his interview with Magic was really good, and I even liked his interview of Kobe, even though Kobe usually makes me itchy.
Oh, and John McCain! I almost forgot, but he had him on to talk about the congressional steroid hearings and how McCain wants to regulate boxing better so that boxers don't end up broke and brain-dead at the end of their careers. That was a surprisingly good interview.
What are ya wastin' yur time fo with this chump?
Steven A. Smith is a good earner, but he's a chump.
You need ta be watchin' me on HBO.
Next week he's having NBA legends week to include guests like Oscar Robertson, Larry Bird and Magic Johnson. Should be good viewing.
God, I hope he goes off on Larry "hick from French Lick" Bird and our need for "white stars." Looks like another show on the Ron Artest fiasco.
Speaking of NBA Legends, apparently since the NBA is turning 60 next season, the boys at TNT and the NBA have come up with an hour special "NBA at 50: The next ten." So if you want to see if Tim Duncan is on that list (HOW CAN HE NOT BE?!?!), tune in before All-Star Saturday Night. Should be good for a site like this. 10 slots and 30 NBA stars in the last 10 years.
if he tries to go off on bird, magic will step in.
