Grown ass man made a decision for other grown ass man? Aight
Stephen A. Smith names the two biggest things he holds against LeBron James as a basketball player, blaming him for the decline of the NBA Slam Dunk Contest and questioning why he never developed a true on court rivalry with another superstar.
Smith argues that LeBron’s decision to never participate in the Slam Dunk Contest influenced other NBA stars to stay away, hurting one of the biggest attractions of All Star Weekend. He points to legends like Kobe Bryant, Vince Carter and Tracy McGrady as examples of elite players who embraced the competition.
His second criticism is that LeBron has never had a consistent individual nemesis, someone who matches up against him and brings genuine hostility and competitiveness every time they meet. Smith says the rivalry with Stephen Curry was more about the teams than two players going head to head because they play different positions and have completely different physical profiles.
He believes the closest moments came when Kevin Durant joined Golden State and faced LeBron in the NBA Finals, or when LeBron first teamed up with Dwyane Wade in Miami. For Smith, the intense buildup to the Philadelphia 76ers and Boston Celtics matchup is exactly the kind of individual rivalry and competitive tension he wishes LeBron had brought to the game.

Sources: #49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk passed his physical Monday and was officially reinstated.
The next step is hoping for a release from San Francisco, and I’m told at least one NFC team has internally discussed the possibility of adding Aiyuk to its practice squad if and when that happens.

Iman Shumpert and DeMarcus Cousins argue over who would you take on your team to win a Championship Norris Cole or Allen Iverson:
DeMarcus: You just told me that Iverson was a loser and you only want winners. So you want Norris Cole instead of Iverson?
Iman: By definition how many rings does Allen Iverson have? It’s not my definition when you talk about champions is Allen Iverson apart of the conversation? Yes or no? He’s not because he is a loser. Allen Iverson did not win that is a fact, I’m not saying Norris Cole is better than Allen Iverson.”
