"“He needs to be quiet ... unless he wants to be traded,” Smith said. Brown responded to Smith just a few hours later on social media. “I'll 'be quiet' / stop streaming if you 'be quiet' and retire let's give the people what they want,” Brown posted to X."
"“Bro, I got love for you so I'm not going to even go there. Folks are looking out for you and you don't even realize it. Here you are making this kind of noise and it hasn't even been a week since you lost a 3-1 lead. You're HOME,” Smith posted to X. “A champion and a Finals MVP saying his favorite season is the season he's home in the FIRST ROUND. This is not about ME. It's about YOU....and what YOU SAID. Enjoy your offseason.”"
"“[Flopping] is not why the Boston Celtics lost,” Smith said earlier this week. “The Boston Celtics lost because they lived and died with the three, because they played dumb basketball down the stretch. ... They just launched three after three after three and missed six or seven straight threes in the last two minutes [of Game 7].”"
"“They blew this opportunity. They were up 3-1, and you lost. This is not the time to be talking about Joel Embiid flopping - damn sure not [the time] to do a show, a podcast show, or video show about it.”"
Stephen A. Smith told Jaylen Brown to stop speaking unless he wants to be traded after Brown’s Twitch comments drew headlines. Brown responded on social media, saying he would stop streaming if Smith would be quiet and retire. Smith replied that people were looking out for Brown and criticized him for making noise shortly after losing a 3-1 lead, emphasizing that Brown’s comments were not about Smith but about Brown’s own statements. Smith also objected to Brown’s recent remarks about NBA officiating, including claims about Joel Embiid flopping and Brown’s preference for the 2025-26 season even if it ended in a first-round exit.
