Yeah, I wasn't really a fan either. Full of hot air more often than not. Very opinionated, high-pressure hot air.

On a side note where's Bill Walton been lately? I havent seen him analyzing B-Ball on TV for many months. I heard he had spinal surgery but I think that was almost a year ago - maybe it didnt go so well.

I dont miss the bombastic, full of himself loud mouth of S.A. Smith one bit.

All I can say is, it's about time. I couldn't stand him from the first time I saw him. He was alway trying to create a reason to get loud and/or heated whether there was a reason to or not. Most of the time he would go on a rant for several minutes without ever saying anything.

I'm wondering what NBA analysts don't speak their minds? That's exactly what those talking heads are paid to do! I like someone like Tim Legler who played in the league and has forceful opinions without yelling and generally making a foolish clown of themselves in front of a camera. Now, Bill Walton who I mentioned earlier clowns around a bit, get teased on set for it, but is still quite analytical most times. The point is SAS should have never gotten hired for a national TV show coming from his background as a beat sports reporter for a Philly newspaper. Maybe he can return to that gig or keep it if still under contract as a simple scribe.

I don't think he ever stopped working for the Philly newspaper. I know he was at least writing articles for them once in a while.

I like Stephen A. guys not afraid to speak his mind
Yeah but what he was never able to understand was that you can speak your mind without being a total nut job. He seemed to justify being a loud mouth jerkoff by always saying that he "spoke his mind". Well, a lot of people speak their mind and are able to articulate themselves a lot better and with a calmer demeanor to boot.
