Portland Trail Blazers head coach Chauncey Billups, Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier and former NBA player Damon Jones were arrested Thursday over their alleged participation in two major illegal gambling schemes — one involving bets placed on NBA games, the other involving underground poker games — investigated by the FBI.
Working with organized crime groups, NBA “insiders” such as Rozier and Jones would pass along confidential information in exchange for some of the proceeds, said Joseph Nocella, the interim U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York. “They relied on corrupt individuals, including Jones and Rozier. They also used misused information obtained during long-standing friendships they had with NBA players and coaches,” he said. (more)
However, Stephen A Smith sees something more nefarious afoot, as President Trump is executing a conspiracy of criminal investigations against the cultural sports of black Americans. Smith notes the NBA, NFL and WNBA are all likely targets of a vast FBI sting operation, intended to target people of color who are engaged in sports and conducting criminal activity. There’s also the possibility of Russians being involved in the set-up. WATCH:
.
Can you imagine the brain function that leads to this type of a conclusion?
Somewhere an insane asylum is missing a patient.
And a village is missing their idiot.
And he’s a fake lying sports reporter running for President of the USA in 2028.
Several if you ask me.
And some morons were saying he should run for President?
Not shocking, really. Now is it…..
Unreal.
Geez, he’s somehow stupider than I thought.
I hear you I was starting to try to understand some of the things he was saying that could possibly make sense but then I realized I was the one with the glitch…
He is a about to get busted and is trying to deflect
Life must be hard for him.
Oh noes!!! The Russians again? We gots to do something about those darn Russians… There ought to be a law….
Amazing how many morons like this get their own platform to appeal to other morons.
Kneelers never win.
High level of ignorance
>>President Trump is executing a conspiracy of criminal investigations against the cultural sports of black Americans.
Perhaps true for the popular black cultural sport of fraud.
A white Canadian man working in the USA invented basketball in 1891. It was a white sport for decades and decades.
CULTURAL APPROPRIATION!!!!!!!!
And now impossible to watch. The females are twice as feral.
I do watch college basketball, but have never been able to stomach the pro’s.
SPORTSBALL!!!
“Can you imagine the brain function that leads to this type of a conclusion.”
Conclusion?
Are you sure you didn’t mean to spell concussion?
Brain malfunction.
Perhaps his brain is functioning to poison the jury pool. Just get one juror who is ‘convinced’ this is a racial conspiracy to target ‘black’ sports, and the prosecution fails. There are such jurors who are fully subject to victimhood, and not hampered by the constraints of facts or reason.
TDS is a real thing. This dope is in stage 4.
RFK Jr called it a pathology in front of everyone at the last Cabinet meeting.
Stephen A Smith is a master at using his mouth.
There’s a reason his base salary is 33 million a year.
He knows these statements raise his value by having his name talked about. It also is a play at the race card as he insinuates racism is behind it.
Stephen A Smith is light skinned.
Sadly, light skinned Blacks are looked down upon by the darker Blacks and so lighter blacks try to make up for that by screaming racism louder than darker blacks.
Of course there are exceptions but in general this is how it is in reality.
He is definitely rage-baiting people.
I’m so stealing that one!
You have it mixed up.
Lighter looks down on darker. That’s how it’s always been, not just in the United States.
My dark skinned friend married to a lighter shade of dark affirmed what USA F said, in a conversation we had well over a decade ago.
Been watching the excessive anti-white militancy of the light skinned since Black Panther days.
Those with more euro style features do seem to be favored especially in media, fashion and Hollywood so that success can cause a big head – like easy on the eyes Don Lemon is now exposed and he still can’t believe it and still keeps making a fool of himself fairly regularly.
Communists paying communists to promote division in service of Satan.
Using our money.
Boycott.
1) This is an admission that Smith and the people in his orbit have segregationist world views.
2) Accusing the FBI of persecuting cultural institutions perceived to “belong” to political opponents is confession through projection. This is how the Left has accelerated its takeover of nearly every cultural/social institution and industry in American public life. Which, incidentally, is exactly what the Sturmabteilung did during the 1930s.
3) Smith is a creature of ESPN, which takes in tens of millions dollars from sports betting advertising. He and his masters will say anything to deflect attention from legalized gambling’s corruption of professional and college sports.
ESPN does worse than just make money … they are criminal enterprise as they handicap the games live as they report news (true-false and anything in between) while altering the handicap odds for the games and teams they are discussing in real time.
They even continue handicapping games live as they report on the games as they are in progress. ESPN is up to their eyeballs as the sponsors and owners of everything the players and coaches are accused of doing.
Stephen Smith is covering his and employers BUTTS.
Those NBA related bets were made via ESPN owned and sponsored Betting Sites … their games were handicapped in REAL TIME via the televised ESPN Ticker … while they were in progress.
Granted this “sports gambling” focus by the FBI is a diversion … but the activity be investigated is REAL CRIME … and its too bad they went directly to good old stand-bye organized crime syndicates while Stephen Smith and his fellow Sports Reporters (and Gambling Handicappers) work in Public View on TV.
That’s an excellent point.
ESPN is in bed with the gambling “industry” (mob), as is the rest of the sports and entertainment industry. It’s quite likely that ESPN personnel is involved as well.
When you’re in bed with the mob, you don’t want to wake up next to a horse’s head. Stephen A might be running his mouth to divert attention from people he is truly scared of.
What a total moron, he will be a perfect DNC candidate for POTUS.
Hakeem Jeffries brother?
Ouch.
Occasionally, SA Smith is rational. Blind squirrel, etc. But today is not that day.
Koo koo!
If a brain is involved, it isn’t operating on all neurons…
This guy is a blooming idiot, and a bigot besides.
He’s a racist clown. He also thinks he can run for President. 🤣🤡
hahahahhahahhahahahahahhahahahahhahahahahaha
let me catch my breath
hahahahahhahahahahahahhaahahahahhahaahahahha
The cat says it all!
As he tries to cover-up S. A. Smith in the litter box.
Mendacity on a grand scale.
Make no mistake.
The media will take his ball and run with it.
We can’t build those mental hospitals fast enough.
President Trump is pretty busy trying to bring peace. I think you need to step away from the microphone Smith you sound racist and stupid. You are irrelevant and seem to need attention go on the View.
My mentor in the printing industry was a Kreitner.
Nice to meet you Pamela and thank you Harold!
I bet $20 that “Stephen A” has Candace Owens on speed dial.
@Osint613
8h
Candace Owens says she does not believe Elon Musk, Sam Altman, or Peter Thiel are humans and instead calls them hybrids.
She mentions there is something strange about their eyes and says she is not sure they even bleed.
Owens describes a dark, demonic presence and claims they are transhumanists who want to control humanity through AI and godless technology.
https://nitter.poast.org/Osint613/status/1982137779279577405#m
If she would’ve included Zuckerberg, Hillary and Fruitsey Graham I might have thought she was on to something.
She has really gone to the dark side.
Owens is crazy.
She’s a fruitloop using her outlandish claims to earn a high living while married to a supposed rich guy there are several of these mouthpieces. Some truth in some of her stuff Elons Neurolink is 30 years ahead of where they say they are. I believe many have this device connected to the internet. In the next 6 months she will say something and it will be proven correct many will cheer. Wash rinse repeat. As I sit on my front porch looking East over the US Located 60 miles east of the Rockies. 17 miles East of DIA. Watching several jets moving at incredible speeds spraying a White substance. All the take off and landing jets have no emissions cannot see a thing. I have also notices a change in the audible when landing a very strange sound almost like an electrical device spinning down. While the jet engines take over. I dont know for sure the truth but the visual is strange have lived and worked out here since 2015. Way off topic just some random thoughts.
Zuckerberg for sure. No one has skin like that, except Data on Star Trek…
I thought Stephen A. Smith was beginning to sound like he had taken the red pill . . .
did he get in the dog house for that?
Yes he got blowback for negative comments about Jasmine Crockett — and ended up apologizing. His public statements are confusing most people as he navigates the waters of trying to appeal to MAGA at the same time as American Blacks. He’s apparently being groomed by Bob Iger to become the Democrat/Black version of Trump, and an eventual Presidential candidate. A completely futile endeavor when you realize is IQ is about a third of President Trump’s.
Honestly, SD’s brain function comment followed by the eye-rolling cat had me falling out of my chair laughing.
Bob Iger of Disney?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I know, right?! Disney owns ESPN. Magically, SAS is ESPN’s highest paid on-air talent. Unbelievable promoting of a low-IQ fraud — clearly a plant. And Iger controls it all.
I can only imagine the lack of brain function required.
What should we expect from a low IQ ,most likely in the low 80’s DIE black racist who has been pandered to by a long list of white cuckold so called sports casters.
Just take a moment to watch this ass . Don’t take too long it could be harmful.to you. If you allow yourself to believe what your eyes are seeing and you can see how absolutely stupid this Neanderthal is.
I used to watch him “debate” sports on ESPN with Skip Bayless. It was…different.
Unreal…
The delusions never stop….
I got the trolling vibe from Stephen A. Foreshadowing a major new scandal waiting to break.
Also, posted this after it happend:
Top 20 Goodfellas NBA Edition Moments
https://directorblue.substack.com/p/top-20-fun-facts-goodfellas-nba-edition
Stephen A Smith is only doing and saying what his WHITE SLAVE MASTERS tell him.
Absolute stupidity.
Sounds like he’s made up a Liberal delusion called “Racial Program for the 21st Century” where DEI & Affirmative Action is not applied to certain Sports like Basketball & Football but they have a “Rooney Rule” for coaching
Yes his inadequate brain function, but this is gaslighting at high altitude.
He’s involved.
Negro fatigue is real
Yes it is and their nasty culture RAP is their Goal they live it out
Oh yeah? Well what are the odds you take 3 random players/coaches from the nba and get 3 blacks? Clearly this is racial targeting– oh wait, a random sampling is probably all black anyway
Like the late 1990’s and the NHL connections to Ivankov? No, Smith’s version of history has no record of that.
It was pointed out to that knucklehead that the investigation started under Biden’s admin. He didn’t miss a beat and blabbered that “Trump is in office. He owns it”, or something close to that. I’ve been looking for the clip.
TDS is a real thing.
Me thinks those that protest the loudest are in fact, the ones with something to hide.
Get that man a subway meatball sandwich and a garage-door pull!
Never able to listen to this man. Tried once on some sports analysis. Not real bright. He’s just loud and overbearing. In the words of our great president, “a low IQ individual.”
Don’t know his history but he&s got to be a DEI hire.
Yep, he out-louds his opponents
Stephen A has always been an idiot. He says outrageously stupid things for a living and gets paid a lot of money for doing so.
Filthy rich idiots are destroying America. They deserve every bit of ridicule and contempt that we can heap upon their empty noggins.
He has made absolutely RIDICULOUS claims in his book.
1). That he showed up off the street, was invited to a college practice, and made 17 3 pointers in a row and was immediately offered a scholarship.
2). Unfortunately, he cracked his knee, in almost the first practice and it required a 6 INCH SCREW! Imagine a 6 inch screw in your knee, it would literally jut out. He won’t wear shorts in public because of that claim. All a journalist has to do is ask him to roll up his pants just one time and it’s over for that clown.
This tells you he is a plant and being propped up by Bob Iger, you know the Disney guy (and Zionist.)
Jason Whitlock did a lot of investigating and revealed what a liar SAS is.
Oh ye, definitely the Zionist part is the most important 🙄😑
“Stephen” is a moron. He should stick to sports and stay in his own lane … at least he’s fooled some of the people, most of the time … but POLITICS ?!?!?!???
Not a chance …
To keep the “sports” thread going … Steve … it’s game, set, and match … and you lose.
This man has always been over his skis. Now everyone knows it.
most appalling is the thought of even one person on planet earth giving a shjt what this moron has to say
Smith says, “That’s not to question the legitimacy of…..(he can’t bring himself to say ‘of the criminal charges’ so he garbles the next word) because we don’t know.”
And there you have it…Stephan Smith acknowledges that the government’s charges of widespread illegal fixing/gambling in the NBA may be true, but because it’s mostly black people doing it we oughtta jest leave them the hell alone!
This is the mindset that make folk heroes out of criminals, but only if they’re black! This is the mindset that believes statues of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln should be torn down and replaced with statues of George Floyd, Michael Brown and Decarlos Brown, Jr.
Professional sport is way past its “ sell by date”
It is kinda sad that folks pay money to watch.
Oh well to each their own.
If you have ever watched the HBO miniseries “Rome” there is a scene where Cesar’s niece (?)comments on “actors” because Octavia was consorting with them.
The distain in her voice was palpable (perhaps from self loathing).
Actors, gladiators and other riff raff have never been respected until our modern age.
“Sell by date “ indeed.
Were that it would be so.

Yep. It takes leather balls to play rugby.
Stephen Smith has balls the size of cake sprinkles. No testosterone
