Stephen A. Smith Show in the house. Let's go. What's up? Everybody?

Welcome to the ladies edition of The stephen A. Smith Show right here over the digital airwaves of YouTube, and of course iHeartRadio. I've got some sports to get into as this show progresses, which I most certainly will because that's my wheelhouse. But there was no way I was going to start the show with any other topic than the one I'm about to broach, because I think it's important. My first topic today is a difficult one, to say the least, coming out of the state of Illinois. Yesterday, footage was released of an officer involved incident that resulted in the death of a Springfield, Illinois woman, and it, once again, as many in our nation, absolutely positively infuriated.

If you have not seen it, trust me when I tell you it is graphic and incredibly derbing. Son youa massy aged thirty six, call police to report a possible intruder at her home in Springfield on July sixth. One of the responding officers, Sangamon County Sheriff's Deputy Sean Grayson, thirty years of age, allegedly shot Massy three times after the two got into an argument about a pot of hot water in the residence. On the police body cam footage, Deputy Grayson and another deputy speak calmly with Massy in her home and she looks for her ID.

Turn the sports for its award winning coverage of the NBA and look forward to another season of the NBA on TNT. This is what the NBA said in the conclusion of its statement, TNT dropped the ball here. I'm not talking about Barkley. I'm not talking about Shack. I'm not talking about Kenny Smith or Ernie Johnson. I'm talking about the brass at TNT. It started years ago when they alluded to how unimportant the NBA was to the brand itself and the resistance that they gave in reaching a new deal. Matter of fact, according to my sources, guess what, Adam Silver, the Commissioner, talked to the hanchos at Warner Brothers Discovery before our deal was agreed upon weeks ago, basically letting them know, hey, you need to match.

And there was a bunch of hem And and Hahn. See that's why Barkley's been going off because he knew and still knows, it never had to come to this. So now we look at TNT and what are we to make of it? Let me tell you what you make of it. Number one, anybody who can get their hands on Barkley, Shaq, Kenny Smith, and Ernie Johnson should do it, even if it's ESPN, Because yes, I cover the NBA, and I think I do a pretty damn good job of covering the NBA. But those brothers are phenomenal, and they're all my brothers, and I root for them every day, all day, all the time. They are a treasure and a tribute to the league itself. And there's no way on earth there should be a basketball season in the foreseeable future, far beyond next season without them in front of that camera. So hopefully, somehow, some way, there will be a platform available to them, whether it's ESPN, ABC, whether it's Amazon, whether it's NBC, something to keep that team intact. It is an honor and a privilege to have them available to watch.

Even though numbers would say that's what Tatum does, his persona doesn't say that. We love seeing Jason Tatum reduced the little kid, the beautiful little son of his. We love seeing them on the podium together. We we love seeing them in the pregame, on the court together. We love seeing them walking out on a post game and you know, after the game together. We love all of that beautiful imagery, great role model. All of that stuff is true, But that ain't sizzle. See Sizzle is aunt Man, that's sizzle. Sizzle is the Kyriees of the world.

Those injuries have certainly played a role in Emband never getting out of the second round of the playoffs.

But despite being an NBA MVP and two tomes scoring champion, Embiid has.

That brother with his skill set at seven to one, back to the basket, facing the basket, the ability to put the ball on the floor, to the next game, the power game, three point shooting game, the list goes on and on.

Career thirty four percent shooter from three point range. You usually don't see that from a center in the National Basketball Association, but that's who he is. Joel Embiid is special, make no mistake about it, but his injuries are not the only reason he has it won. Two things stand out in my mind. Second on the list would be Jimmy Butler. The Sixers should have never let him go. They should have never let him get away. Clearly in the aftermath of things. No disrespect to my man Tobias Harris, who I've got a lot of love for, but clearly Jimmy Butler was preferred by Embiid over Tobias Harris, and the Sixers didn't want to pay them both a few years back, so they made the decision to pay Tobias Harris more than one hundred and eighty million dollars and let Jimmy Butler walk away to South Beach, Miami. That was mistake number one, a huge mistake because not only was Jimmy Butler, Jimmy Buckets and somebody that was a rough rider and somebody that would infuse a personality in his team that was made of the championship medal you need representing the city of Philadelphia. But he was also somebody that was.
