His young age along with the advancements that theyve made in sports science will more than likely put him in a good spot. We'll see.

ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith defends black celebrities meeting with Donald Trump
By Cindy Boren January 16
Steve Harvey visited Trump and faced anger and ridicule for calling him a “great man.” Smith called on others to meet with Trump, saying, “perhaps it is time for all of us to see the big picture, to essentially pay more attention to the issues permeating our society, what it will take to resolve them, and connecting ourselves to who we can ultimately hold accountable rather than focusing on disdain for that very individual in a position to make a difference. Knowing that is not going to get us anywhere.”
Smith, wearing an Aaron Rodgers jersey, wondered, “Has anyone thought about what impact it could have if Trump spoke to LeBron James? How about Steph Curry? How about Mike Tomlin, Tony Dungy, Chris Paul, Adam Jones of the Baltimore Orioles or a host of conscientious sports figures connected to communities, committed to helping inner cities ascend from an abyss that has plagued us for decades. What then? Will they be sellouts, too, just for meeting with the man?”
Smith’s message didn’t resonate with everyone. Robert Littal at Black Sports Online chastised him for the take, saying he “could do better.” He writes:
You tell everyone in the world that Colin Kaepernick is irrelevant because he didn’t vote, but you want us to give Donald Trump a chance?
You haven’t spent one minute of your show to speak on how Colin Kaepernick since the season has ended has helped 1000s of people, not just black people, but all people who are struggling, but you have time to defend Steve Harvey?
The math is not adding up and that is sad because Stephen A. Smith has an influential voice in the black community and his hypocrisy on this issue is showing.
Harvey last week explained that he and Trump chatted briefly about things like golf before getting “down to the crux of it.” He was introduced to Ben Carson, the nominee to be secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development, and added, “We’re going to team up and see if we can bring about some positive change in the inner cities.”
Here’s the full text of Smith’s commentary; you can decide for yourself:
When noted comedian and host of the hit show “Family Feud” Steve Harvey exited from a meeting with President-elect Donald Trump last week calling him “a great man,” to say there was a backlash would be a gross understatement. The word “coon” and “sellout” was immediately thrown out.
His friend and contemporary D.L. Hughley wasn’t happy either, aiming his vitriol at Trump instead of Steve Harvey. And of course it provided the perfect excuse for naysayers to accuse sports greats like Jim Brown and Ray Lewis of being used as photo-ops weeks ago.
But on a day like today when we celebrate the birth date of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, along with his undeniable historical impact, perhaps it is time for all of us to see the big picture, to essentially pay more attention to the issues permeating our society, what it will take to resolve them, and connecting ourselves to who we can ultimately hold accountable rather than focusing on disdain for that very individual in a position to make a difference, knowing that is not going to get us anywhere.
Has anyone thought about what impact it could have if Trump spoke to LeBron James? How about Steph Curry? How about Mike Tomlin, Tony Dungy, Chris Paul, Adam Jones of the Baltimore Orioles, or a host of conscientious sports figures connected to communities, committed to helping inner cities ascend from an abyss that has plagued us for decades. What then? Will they be sellouts, too, just for meeting with the man? For expressing their concerns? For articulating what ails these communities and providing ideas on how to resolve problems? The answer is no. At least for anyone with sense.
So here’s hoping Trump calls all of those guys and then some. So why have a problem with Steve Harvey? While few of us are interested in hearing praise for Trump at this moment, let’s not confuse that with recognizing the position he’s in, respecting it and using our intellect to decipher where we go from here, not our emotions. After all, how far has that gotten us?
Stephen A. Smith To Black Community: Meeting With Trump Does Not Make You A Sellout, Respect The Office
Ian Schwartz
On Date January 16, 2017
ESPN's Stephen A. Smith delivers commentary on the black community attacking black leaders for meeting with President-elect Donald Trump. Smith said calling people like Steve Harvey, who met with Trump last week, and Jim Brown and Ray Lewis, who met with Trump after he was elected, "sellouts" is not helpful.
Smith said it is not helpful to criticize black leaders for meeting with the one man who can make a difference when it comes to the abyss that is the inner-city. He called on other prominent black leaders to meet with Trump instead of bashing those who do.
"Has anyone thought about what impact it could have if Trump spoke to LeBron James? How about Steph Curry?" Smith asked. "How about Mike Tomlin, Tony Dungy, Chris Paul, Adam Jones of the Baltimore Orioles, or a host of conscientious sports figures connected to communities, committed to helping inner cities ascend from an abyss that has plagued us for decades. What then? Will they be sellouts, too, just for meeting with the man? For expressing their concerns? For articulating what ails these communities and providing ideas on how to resolve problems?

C'mon fam. Entertainers don't represent the people. Also, what entertainers do you speak of?
the same as it's always been protect white daddy.
he stood his ground 1 time and he was out in the cold
he ain't NEVER going back
remember he had a talk show on espn and all that shit and then pissed off the wrong people and was doing fox news appearances and shit talking about politics to pay the rent
he ain't never going back
I don't get how this correlates to me saying we (the black people of NY) knew from the 80's that Trump was a racist. Central Park five stamped that.
Man, ima say this again; FUCK lue for playing LBJ too many mins; and Fuck Irving and Love brittle asses not picking up the slack...
Man Lue trying to keep his fucking job...fuck a rest day(well at the moment)
They wasn't gonna play tonight but since they off tomorrow they suited up tonight...
OMG.....did y'all just see Gerald Green? He still got the bunnies.......
Who Green? You mean as far as his game? I remember his stint with the Mavs.........he was gonna do it there. Carlisle IMO, fucked that up. Dude has it all. But like you said he can't put it altogether. Handles are good enough, got bunnies, can D it up, has range........yet he's stuck on the bench and a journeyman. Life of the average NBA player I guess but he got fucked over earlier in his career.
