Jason Whitlock: “Stephen A. Smith wrote -- or had someone write because Stephen A. Smith can’t write – a memoir, ‘Straight Shooter’, and he shouldn’t have done that because I’ve read it. Just like Katt Williams is breaking down to you ‘look at these lies that Steve Harvey is telling, look at how Kevin Hart is a plant and he was promised things at the very beginning’... And it’s like, how did Kevin Hart come out here to LA with deals in place and all this success in place?... And what he’s saying is like, who is Kevin Hart? Kevin Hart ain’t even got that kind of talent. It hasn’t been done since or before. If you go look at Stephen A. Smith’s narrative, many people, including myself, who know Stephen A. Smith’s narrative are like ‘this makes no sense.’ This dude could barely write. He had editors at the Philadelphia Inquirer that had to rewrite EVERYTHING. Editors at ESPN had to rewrite EVERYTHING. He knows virtually nothing about any other sport other than the tiny, tiny bit he knows about basketball. This man has sat on TV and said ‘HEY, MAN, THEY SHOULD HAVE KICKED THE FIELD GOAL ON THIRD DOWN JUST IN CASE THEY MISS IT AND THEY CAN RE-KICK IT AGAIN ON FOURTH DOWN!’... ‘THIS TIGHT END [Hunter Henry] IS PLAYING TONIGHT FOR THE CHARGERS...’ But he was actually cut and plays for another team. It’s comical how little he actually knows about sports, but someone installed him as the number one voice of sports. That’s what Katt Williams is talking about. Kevin Hart is an OK comedian, but someone installed him as the face of comedy, gave him a deal, and put things in place for him to have all this success because they could control Kevin Hart. That’s what happened to Stephen A. Smith. If you go read ‘Straight Shooter’, you can see it everywhere. If you go read his memoir and listen to the stories he tells about getting a ‘basketball scholarship’ to Winston Salem State, it’s so mind-blowingly preposterous, stupid, and fabricated. I was like ‘holy, cow, how did they let him tell these lies?’ Or whoever wrote it, ‘who wrote these lies?’... He went down and had a scrimmage and hit 17 straight shots, and ‘Big House’ Gaines gave him a scholarship on the spot. This is Division-II basketball, Winston Salem State, the school is poor, ‘Big House’ Gaines has written books about how little money he had for scholarships, but someone who didn’t pee a drop in high school basketball, didn’t pee a drop at the Fashion Institute School that he allegedly played junior basketball at, somehow sits out a year, and goes and plays in one scrimmage game, makes 17 straight shots and they give him a full ride basketball scholarship at a school that struggles to give out full-ride scholarships to more than three or four players on the team? Stephen A. got one for making 17 straight shots in a scrimmage at the end of someone’s regular season when he drove up from New York. You didn’t play in high school, you didn’t do anything at the Fashion Institute who had a junior college team and you never played, and then he got a scholarship to Winston Salem State... He wants you to believe that. He’s on camera talking to Malika Andrews, Jalen Rose, JJ Redick, and they put up a stat of Jalen Rose, JJ Redick’s, and Stephen A.’s senior stats, and they got Stephen A. Smith averaging 1.5 points a game, and Stephen A. says on camera ‘WELL, WHAT THEY DON’T TELL YOU IS – I ONLY AVERAGED 1.5 POINTS A GAME BECAUSE I ONLY PLAYED IN ONE GAME THAT YEAR BECAUSE I BLEW OUT MY KNEE’... Someone must have figured out later, like, Stephen A., we got you up here saying you averaged 1.5 points per game your senior year. You just said on camera that you only played in one game your senior year because you blew out your knee. You can’t average 1.5 points if you only played one game. It can’t be done. I’m not a math genius but it cannot be done. Three or four months later, Stephen A. figured out like ‘OH, GOD, I SCREWED UP!’, and so he went on the Stephen A. Smith podcast, played the clip of them doing that, and then he said ‘IT WAS ALL A LIE! I DIDN’T PLAY A DAMN GAME BECAUSE I BLEW OUT MY KNEE!’... I’m not trying to pick on Stephen A. Smith, I’m trying to help you understand these truths that Katt Williams are talking about. They apply across the entertainment industry. When you see someone in this current environment installed as ‘the voice’ and ‘the person’, you better go check their history because it’s more than likely they haven’t earned that. They’ve been installed, they’ve cut a deal, and written up some limit false narrative for them. It’s not earned. Never at any point was Stephen A. Smith a great sports columnist. Stephen A. Smith made his name befriending Allen Iverson and breaking some new Allen Iverson-related news, and a handful of NBA-related news, but they put him out there as this great opinionist. He doesn’t have great opinions, he doesn’t know what he’s talking about. He’s there to be on target as it relates to these larger messages that they want to pass on. They want men watching ESPN and thinking ‘should I take the vaccine?’, and they want Stephen A. Smith to say ‘YES, TAKE THE VACCINE! ANYBODY WHO DOESN’T TAKE THE VACCINE IS AN IDIOT! KYRIE IRVING IS AN IDIOT!’... That’s the job. The people that don’t play the game, they get upset with. ‘MAN, WHITLOCK IS FAT AND OVERWEIGHT! HE BETTER SUPPORT THAT VACCINE!’... I’m not going to do it. Not my role, not my job, not qualified, it’s not what I believe, and there’s no check you can cut me.” (Full Segment Above)
Watch Jason Whitlock of Blaze TV’s Fearless call out the legitimacy of Stephen A. Smith’s career, and call into question many of the details that Smith includes in his recent ‘Straight Shooter’ memoir, as Whitlock continues to trade barbs with the ESPN personality who has incited a fiery feud with ‘fat bastard’ Whitlock on ESPN and on his podcast.
Whitlock references the explosive recent Katt Williams interview on Shannon Sharpe’s podcast where the comedian called out some of the most successful actors and musicians in the world today, and singled out certain individuals in Hollywood who unexpectedly experienced metaphoric rises to fame despite having very little acclaim. Williams labeled them ‘plants’, who people of power sought to elevate with the intention of later using them as puppets to publicly say anything and do anything they require in order advance their handlers' agendas. Whitlock says Stephen A. could be the sports version of that individual, and simply a plant who was ‘installed’ as a left-wing shill to push agendas connected to stoking racial division and pushing the COVID-19 vaccine.
Check out the segment above as Whitlock points out the ‘preposterous fabrications’ of Stephen A. Smith’s memoir, and tears down his journalism career that Whitlock asserts was simply propelled by corporate media as a way to make Stephen A. their puppet to push political narratives.
