Twitch Mrgohamtv 😂 I feel like he can turn it off and on at any point now

FYI he is a trained actor! Seriously. He’s an actor/character. Google it. His rants are for ratings/contract.
Sean McSeanson FACTS

Christian King 💀💀
MrTdollarsign lmao fur realz like chill tf out! That’s niggah need to get on the weeeeed immediately!!! 😂
Christian King Lol exactly, I'm a wizards fan and i'm not even that upset, this nigga is really heated over the wizards
Hes love that city and that franchise. Has been predicted them to be the 2nd best team in the East for years. So the way they fall apart truly drive him to be insane
If you disappointed by the wizards that's on you. The wizards have been disappointing for like the last 3 or 4 seasons
Dicknose McQueen 8-9*
2 decades more like it....
Dicknose McQueen lol tru.. you basically set yourself up for heartbreak at this point.
Being from the DMV, it's hard to cheer for the wizards and redskins every yeat
Wall needs to get out of there to get a chance to have a ring
How tf you sweat ranting about the Wizards? lmaoooo
Because he had high expectations of them, plus he doesn’t want to be made to look like a fool 😂
Karim Debbagh Could you please speak English. Here, I will write it for you...the fuck...there, wasn’t so hard.
When SAS is this agitated, it's comedy gold!
TMZahida226 I swear ahah
Molly: This isn't good for your health. You're sweating
2:54 🤣🤣🤣
ModernDay MilkMan that's bae
the only time SAS is right is when he starts yelling like crazy
1000% facts, when he's about to explode, you can't disagree
He shouted like crazy when KP was drafted, how wrong was he.
I swear SAS has stock with the wizards. This is like the 5th rant he has done about the wizards this season.
Mike Tank Brown ll ... just look at that talent man. That should be the second best backcourt in the NBA.
Sohaib Jamil i say should be third behind houston and gsw
Mike Tank Brown ll So he must have stock in LeBron than huh?
Tbh y’all should be better than the Celtics right now with how much talent there is on that roster. I think it may be time for a coaching change.
Mike Tank Brown ll bruh he's praised them before like I said before the wizards just ain't that good. Yea John wall is good but if his team keeps it up like this they ain't going no where
They constantly overrate washington the beginning of each season.
Pit bull pete Washington is a great squad. but they constantly fall apart at one point on the season then they play catchup
Pit bull pete Thank you so much for posting this. I don't understand why they always jump on their nuts every single season.
Same song and dance every single year.
Agreed if they realized from the start of the season raptors were better than wizards they wouldn't be so shook. Everyone had them above the raptors in seeding, cuz for some reason they thought raptors got worse when they actually got better. So if they did that, they would not be as disappointed in Washington. Wizards are a 5th or 4th seed at best. Their expectations were to high.
Pit bull pete They having too much fun
and always underrates Toronto
Stephen a is the funniest guy to ever grace tv
Steve Gerrard Shannon sharpe
Steve Gerrard barkley, sharpe, and SAS.
Steve Gerrard nah Shannon Sharpe is basically a comedian doing sports debate
*grace ;)
Shannon shapre
0:13-0:17 The way I feel about my co-workers, and most people
I agree, before the season I said that Washington would probably knock off Cleveland and be 2nd or 3rd in the East. Boy was I wrong.
And people said OKC would beat the Warriors and be second seed. They’re 6th seed rn and will most likely get swept by the Warriors if they play. *Plus* the Wizards are only 3 games behind 3rd seed. You act like they have no chance at 3rd seed
Yea you were wrong. You either really don’t watch basketball or know nothing about it if you thought they would beat Cleveland. It’s hilarious
Doc Amaro he already admitted he was wrong, no need to be a dick about it dude.
Mopey Not many said that, everyone had OKC at the 4th spot maybe 5th because everyone admitted they still weren't better than GSW,SAS, and HOU. And they can be a threat to the Warriors IF they get it right though. But as of now no.
Doc Amaro Or you don’t even watch the Wizards at all and don’t understand the potential that they have you fucking moron.
I still find it funny that people pronounce this Stephen and Stephen Curry in two different ways despite having the exact spelling lol
lol
Annette ain't that america for you, it's like mind game central! Just like the word live, lmao
Annette Lmao
The way he said “He’s a shooter!” at 2:03 😂.
Jmart 22 and the percent 21 after that, good point out
2:02
I love these Smith rants 😂😂😂...vintage
Stephen A Smith went ham on this like seriously went crazy and rightfully so and wall and Beal ain't cutting it either.
Beal is great. It’s just John Wall who has been disappointing
Mopey John wall was amazing last night tho
It's Washington DC sports what do you expect man it's been like this for over a decade now.
Ain't no curse they just suck
As a DC fan it’s been my entire life! Since 1992 this city has the biggest curse! We fee this way for all our teams. Capitals and Nationals are the same, championship caliber and can’t get to a conference final. Believe me they’re the 4th most disappointing team in the city. Literally the 4th
R K
that’s a fact man I’m sick of top tier DC teams getting knocked out in the second round
The wizards fans are also a disappointment if u watch their games you’ll see what i mean .... no passion from the fans ... it’s not that loud ... they only pack the house for Warriors and Cavs ... the team is Dull and so are the fans
MvpSwag #KiCassan0va’s Husband Bmore,and D.C. seems more into sports these days. I'm born and raised in the Maryland, D. C. Area and everyone I know more into football. Hell in highschool everyone was more into fucking lacrosse.
You sound ignorant! DC has the biggest sports curse in the country. Over 25+ years without a conference championship for major sports teams. We constantly see the disfunction with the Redskins. Nationals and Capitals being top of the league and not making it past round 2! Wizards have no ownership building the bench or depth. Relies on 2 players to win every single game. So why would the fans show up? To watch us blow it again? Cheaper to watch on TV
Justin Cosing exactly bruh they don’t understand how we feel
STFU Nigga DMV fans are lit just we got no bench
Justin Cosing lmao i sound dumb ? Watch a wizards game dude shxt ain’t hype ... i seen pacers fans bring more passion and make more noise
No way that this is a bigger disappointment than OKC
Mopey OKC gettin right though.
NBA King 3 game losing streak
NBA King They lost 3 straight, including losses to the PHOENIX SUNS AND THE LILLARD LESS TRAIL BLAZERS. The defense was great and the offense was lousy before, now it's the other way around. I don't know what the hell are you talking about getting it right.
Andre Roberson is injured, they really miss his defense.
stickyhillman99 ouf nah they miss his shooting lol
The Wizards have been overrated for like 6 years. But people keep on blowing them up like they are special for some reason.
More like 3 seasons.
They were ass 6 years ago
2 problems with the wizards #1 Scott Brooks is the coach nuff said #2 gortat is a backup center playing the role of a starter
Andre Carter I agree. He lets any one come to the rim at will without even trying to block
Gotart pick and roll is nasty with Wall though
Andre Carter yea gortat gotta go we need a whole new center and power forward
Yeah, Ernie should have been upgraded the center spot. I don't mind Gortat, but he should be coming off the bench now. Maybe try to go after Nerlens Noel who's not getting any playing time at the moment in Dallas.
Hello my man dont forget about their hit or miss free check getting GM as well
This is what its like to watch the wizards as a real fan
Wizards always running their mouths..."the Cavs didn't want to see us"
Paapa Essel when the fuck did we say that lmao you're just making shit up
Jeff Li John wall pretty much said that dude
Jeff Li Beal and Wall said that last year. What you talking about lol
any true washington fan would know Wall and Beal said that lmaooooooooo
& last year goortat was like "we're fighting for 1st place & the Celtics are fighting for 2nd"
The thunder are my disappointment
Ooooouuuuuuuu 😭😭😭😭😂😂😂💀⚰️
Joshua Newsome bruh im dead 💀💀
That part finished me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
DeVante TV I kept rewinding that part lol
i was having a horrible day until i saw this rant. lol thanks Stephen A.😃
Same rn ngl
they need to develop their bench and be consistent if they want to win
@0:10 Im so weak bruh LMAOOOOO
Finally Stephen A speaks the facts. The Wizards have fallen off mainly because of John Wall. All of his numbers went down & constantly being carried by his sidekick Bradley Beal. This is sad coming from an arguably best PG in the East last season, almost 50 wins & almost a conference finals appearance. I explained why he fell off the map on my channel!
Don’t worry Lebron’s coming to DC.
He's points are down because Ottos are up
His numbers are down?? His shot attempts have come down due to less shots compared to last year, working himself back from injury, and being more off the ball. His 3% percentage is at 35% which is tied for the highest of his career, while taking more attempts, defensively he’s better, and his overall FG% is rising because he’s in better shape to get pass defenders as opposed to taking bad shots
Stephen’s right, I’m so tired of the Wizards losing. They’re so good
me too the wizards can beat anybody on any giving night they gotta get more help in washington
Legarian Steele seriously though 😔
Lol, I'm sick of it too ):
0:13
Area 51 Aliens after living with humans for a week

Khari Walker czcams.com/video/1LzxX0Hcv88/video.html
Here is the video for you.
Julio goat jones In da house i see u remember smh gay ass nigga a
" oooOOooOoOoOOoo " 😂😂😂😂
The Wizards think they are better than they are. They are more cocky over the years than they should be. Especially in the series against Boston last season. Also blame the GM for not being able to get superstars to D.C. & acquiring better pieces.
Savanna Henry I've wanted a new GM for years but it doesn't look like he will ever get moved. Ppl love him but what has he really done?
Davon Stevens I read an article. That superstars don't want to come to D.C. Because they feel like they won't get the support from the community that they would somewhere else. So that could be part of the reason. They won't let him go because he's kept them
In the playoffs at least with only John wall an all star
Rich8927 I also think they aren't good at acquiring pieces. Like even though GS win they still try to improve their bench every year. Every playoff team tries to acquire new pieces every year to keep competing. Wizards aren't doing that.
Savanna Henry facts I always blame the gm every year
Facts! Ernie throws away picks left and right for banged up veterans like Ian Mahimmi who's overpayed and constantly injured. Throwing away a 2nd round pick for cash, like the trade for 2nd round pick Jordan Clarkson from 2014 to the Lakers for cash.
1:35 - 2:10
DAWGGGG JUST PUT #BradleyBeal ON FRONT STREET WOWWWWWW🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭😂
i always come back to this classic
"OOOOOOOOOOOOOH"
The Washington wizards only have a good backcourt everything else is average
trevion sewell I question john walls clutchness in the playoffs
miles dwyer To be consistently clutch you need a jump shot to keep the defense honest so if you don’t it’s way easier to defend you. LeBron would be a prime example of being inconsistent in these moments.
Tay Smith he isn't inconsistent he is passive
Jose Martinez he is both inconsistent because of the lack of a jump shot and passive because of his nature
Tay Smith if he would use his size & get in the post in those situations people would respect him much more
SAS going off 😂😂😂
Max is right, the Thunder should way better at this point, their not.🤔
This is true.. And I'm from DC and it's frustrating to watch them play sometimes. But, I believe it can change for the better for the Wiz!
"And then some of my peeps reminds me ...Hey he ain't clutch!" I love that line.
The Wizards are too small...and in basketball, size matters. OKC is built for the PLAYOFFS...not the regular season...they just need to get in no lower than a 5 seed. I think OKC in the playoffs is going to be a problem for the WEST. OKC has SIZE and TALENT. I think they can beat Golden state, Houston or San Antonio in a 7 game series. So, they are struggling somewhat, but, they will be okay and they will come out the WEST this year!
Jake Baltimore true they have length and versatility plus Westbrook can wear down any team over a series I give them the best shot to beat GS
Ya'll both are delusional
They have a garbage bench. Golden States and Spurs bench would wipe them out easily. That’s how they take over games.
You are right about the wizards though
I don't know about size being an issue. I just think we need more younger athletic players, especially in the front court. Kelly Oubre fits that bill with his athleticism and length now we could use more. Otto has length as well, pause.... except he has average athleticism.
Why does he have unrealistic expectations for them
I loved his yelling
Such passion
Still relevant til this day
Don't expect to win anything with Otto Porter as your 3rd best player
The first 20 seconds of this video... Priceless. 💯💯😂😂😂😂
I love it. You can feel the passion behind the frustration. Good or bad team none the less .. he cares about da Wizards. clearly. Cant b mad at da rant. lol.
lmao!!!!!! love it
“I WANT GREATNESS, not good GREATNESS” that junk made laugh so hard
Happy that the Wizards are being signaled out publicly. Thought they'd be in the ECF too
Wizards lost to Kelly Olync...enough said.
Jim Bertido so did the celtics
Luc fair enough but not in the playoffs in a game 7.
That Kyle Lowry/Raptors sportchek ad tho🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
John Wall has admitted that they play for stats, when they play lesser teams.
If I were the wizards I would call pelicans and offer Bradley beal and otto porter for Cousins and just hope he resigns. Beal won't get it done
Wizards surprise me every year they're not good when they should be a top team in the East.
SAS was so mad he started sweating.
every time someone mentions otto porter i think of that shaqtin a fool clip :D
auto pilot -.-
Its crazy 1 season later and the story is the same.
Hahahaha, Stephen A. U just making me. lololol
Exactly. Some people seem to think that just because they play hard against good teams, they’ll be fine. Hell no. They have no business being that arrogant whether it’s OKC or the Wizards. At the end of the day, it’s all about consistency (and a good seeding).
Just replay this for the next 5 seasons.
the Wizards need another player Paul George would take them the next level but yeah the Wizards are just talk haha
Listen up....Wall and Beal can't make the team the way you want it they need a lot HELP from their own quiet fans and some defensive stoppers also.
Anyone know where to find that play he was talking about on Bradley Beal throwing it to himself? 😂
"Got nothing but love for the brothers" not the first time I heard that from SAS
Is this a throwback video?
I thought the Thunder was the biggest disappointment so far but the NBA and NBA media got hands up there asses. Melo and PG on Thunder was highly anticipated , more than the Wizards, to be a tier1/A1 team but to me more of an disappointment than the Wizards. (Update) I wrote this before I got to Max's part and I agree with him.
SAS will always be one of espn fav’s. a lot of people tune in for sas, even the ones that dislike him.
I need dj suede to remix this rant NOW 😂
If u don’t live in the dmv, YOU CAN NOT TALK
Damn chill, The Cavs have been pretty disappointing tbh
TheHSdropout For sure but with IT back Cavs are starting to shape up.
NBA King They lost 5 out of 7 and were completely demolished and clowned by the Timberwolves while having the 29th defensive efficiency in the league. You keep talking garbagio dude, just stop.
Yeezus Shuttlesworth
Don’t worry their defense will improve with IT.
Could you calls some plays with Otto porter 2:30
So am i the only one that after a bad day i come to watch this to be happy again?😂😂
its funny how you can say the same for this season
Lol true
It's the same every year with the wizards and the raptor
But at least for the Raptors nobody hypes them up aside from the fans of course and our players don't run their mouths
Rich8927 shut yo bitch ass up those are the team everyone say is going go far in the playoffs and they always get put out
Rich8927 lol raptors beating Cleveland lol you are really fuck up in your mind
Greg Evans shut the fuck up man
That is being unnoticed, I'll give you'll that.
0:17 when the cat is that good
Don't y'all just love watching/hearing Mr.Smith. 😂
They need to flip Beal and Gortat and get Boogie Cousins. This is coming from somebody that is from D.C. the wizards are the definition of Average
Jordan Davis or trade porter and start oubre then get boogie in fa
Buddy Hields Teeth yes
Oooooooh lemme tell ya
Dude saying oooooooo lol
As a Wizards Fan this is hard to watch. Especially when SAS calls us out like this. I pray that we get it together 🙏🏿🙏🏿.
Still come playoffs wiz won't be playing bad teams? No one over reacts when the cavs get beat by bad teams.
Cavs v Wiz ECF
OzzY FIFA because they don't have a .500 record against sub .500 teams.
This is classic Stephen A Smith lmao
we needed to hear dis
Wasn’t ready for the start of this video, damn near spit out my juice
lmao this is hilarious now
Okc that’s my team tho
Eriona W #ThunderUp but I knew that we weren't going to be thst good tbh
I wasn't disappointed until this week. The losses to Portland, Minnesota and especially Phoenix are worrisome. They seem to show that OKC can't afford themselves ANY injuries 'cause not having Adams is killing them, not having Roberson is killing their defense. To top it off they fell back into isolation offense for long stretches which is a major setback, thought this was over and they figured it out when they started their winning streak. What made matters worse was sloppy play and high turnovers and even lack of effort against Phoenix. I believe in that OKC team but they made it really really tough last week - more by the way they lost than by the fact they lost
He sound like P. Diddy when he said I want greatness 😂😂😂.
When sas cut his own self off when he said the Washington wizards john wall had 35 and 11 😂
I stopped believing in JOHN WALL since lonzo showed him up !!!!!
What....You know.....they played again in D.C. a few weeks later and the Lakers ended up losing by 16.....
www.nba.com/games/20171109/LALWAS#/matchup
Ooooohhh😂😂
I can picture Stephen A at 90 yelling at the camera.... and dying on set
I love the way Stephen A says the Washington wizards team name with authority
Lmao. Dog iWatch this clip a few times a year just cuz. This might have been the wildest moment for stephen a on a lowkey tip. Lol. If you ever had to show what makes stephen a him.. This is it. Lmao. The genuine frustration from you can tel at that time he had momey put into that team or sumn. 😭😭💯💯 Its no way he cared about the wizards that much. Lol. No way. They cost him some money or sumthin cuz no way. 😭😭😭😭
