Stephen A.’s REACTION to Jason Kidd’s comments on Cooper Flagg | First Take

49 comments

1. SaS made it about himself. Why am i not shocked

2. I’m a little tired of Windy acting like he knows everything in basketball. Not just news, but the game. He needs to sit down sometimes instead of standing on whatever business he’s speaking about at the moment 😒

3. Naw J Kidd said what he said lol..

4. Cooper is better not at PG. Stats prove it.

5. Guy who hasn’t played the game dislikes the “you’ve never played the game” comment…

6. finally someone said it

7. Tell it Coach! You got this! I RESPECT you as a Player snd Coach!

8. Because it's the truth. These opinion givers no nothing.

9. What point guard are we discussing. There are no more true point guard in this time of age. Everyone are shooting guards and small forwards with no centers😀

10. Doesnt take looking further into when he unleashed the GREEK Freak on all of us. How many people are blessed enough to see generational talent as much as J kidd as a coach and equally as a player. Short list of ppl with that level of experience and expertise in his position.

11. Coopers about to drop 70 at point guard because he knows his coach has his back

12. J Kidd forgot more about BB than anyone in the room. Most talking heads, couldnt be a score keeper at their HS! Go Kiidd! – it was meant to be insulting

13. If The Shoe Fit "cough cough" SAS

14. J Kidd and the Mavs need to be punish for such comments! I think Flagg to the Lakers a fine punishment, we need to stop this before it ruins postgame interviews for ever

15. Mr J. Kidd? Has spoken….

    As a former a Big Time Guard? “Big Ups!”

    As an NBA Head Coach?

    I love the 🔥 Just don’t give the non-playing media fuel to put on the 🔥

    💯💭🥸

16. Making Flagg a PG clearly shows he misses Luka

17. Friggin Steve saying he knows his place. He has always overstepped his "place"… acting like a total know-it-all. I think he's basically a poser, who depends on a loud voice, employing some put-on , exaggerated, pissed off black man effects in an attempt to make himself believable. He doesn't know his place. He's never deferred to someone more knowledgeable. He's gotta be the smartest, most exuberant guy in the room. And man is it annoying. And now he thinks he knows politics too. I nearly always turn him off as quickly as I can. I really wonder how employers consider him a positive asset.

18. SAS please 🛑 bro 🤦🏾

19. Dallas should care Luka and Flagg would of been a dominate duo for a decade Anthony Davis is old and injury prone and extremely expensive so it’s gonna take a championship before I’m forgetting if I’m a mavericks fan

20. The lighting in that room during that Kidd press conference adds so much drama.😂😂😂

21. Watch defenses when Flagg penetrates from the point. They collapse around him every time. Cooper is really good at kicking the ball out. He’s getting the assist numbers.

22. Smith is a fraud because that's how his career got started, criticizing coaches and trolling players based on results.
    The Mavs are losing and they deserved to be questioned!!!! Or else why have the media there.

23. Stephen A you haven’t played this game !!! 😂 he’s talking to YOU !!!

24. SAS is forever corny and a amateur at basketball knowledge

25. 32 point 12 assist lol

26. Mavs got a lot of injuries

27. 😂😂😂 Stephen A started out his entire comment by saying I know my place and I will never know more than those who played the game and I say what I say based off of what those who played the game say etc 😂😂😂 sooooo MF HE WAS RIGHT THEN 😂😂😂

28. SA said much but said nothing

29. The "you've never played this game" or "played at this level" argument by Kidd can easily be refuted by showing the same criticism from people who have played in the NBA saying the same thing. Attacking the critic instead of the criticism is the weakest of all strategies and offers no explanation. It just shows nothing but vitriol and useless pride. Either the criticism is right or wrong, the critic and the criticism should be separated (even though it's hard for humanity to do). The only thing the rant showed was that he is not in a good place emotionally right now and is not happy with his situation.

30. I agree with SAS Flagg is not a PG he is a small forward!

31. He doesnt know how to control the game.
    Anyone can score!!!
    Can you lead a team to win when it counts???
    Time will tell.

32. His quiet beeps makes him sound like a kid.

33. Giannis started off at point guard… also played the 2 and some wing(3)…

    who was Gianni’s’ head coach early on? 🤔

34. Pretty sure Erik spolstra also never played and he’s a better coach then Jkidd

35. Stephen a is the biggest clown on earth

36. Very out of character for him and it came outta nowhere. He was definitely trying to draw attention from the 1 yr anniversary of ‘the trade’ dominating the air waves lol

37. kidd is being rude at the interview

38. Fair play, SAS should come on home!!
    – Shaq and Barkley

39. …because… I haven’t played the game. 😅

40. Flagg is going to get stats galore at the point like Luka.

41. I loved Jason Kidd as a player, I love him even more now as a coach.

42. Kidd hit them between the eyes with the truth

43. SMOKE. Kidd built GIANNIS. DIRK. A.D.

44. That’s rite jkidd let them MF! Know

45. Kidd sucks as a coach and he's an obnoxious idiot.

46. Some of the best coaches never played at a high level

47. Cooper Flagg is the leading scorer for all Rookies for an injury depleted Mavs lineup. And yet reporters criticized Flagg. He should be ROY.

48. Stephen A nitpicking when he doesn't have to, I hate that he always does that. Idk what the intention of bad mouthing, by nitpicking. Whether it's for clicks or what but that's why most people hate Stephen A. Because it's the media it spreads like wildfire, it comes out as bad mouthing by him nitpicking what people did what he considered wrong

49. Absolutely not true that you know more just because you played the game ( at high level, low level, whatever ). Most of these players are stupid and the only reason most of them got to play in the NBA was size and athleticism. Would Jokic be in the league had he stopped growing at 5' 11" instead of 6' 11"?
    Of course not, but his game IQ would still be the same and he'd know more about the game than anybody currently playing it., so stop the bull$hit please.
