We had been told The Stephen A. Smith Heckling Society Of Gentlemen would not be at the NBA Draft this year. We were wrong; oh, how we were.
(UPDATE: Here's the tale of hanging out with the hecklers last night. Wow.)

Can anyone else see the video? Or did the new site design mess that up too?
I can see it. The sact SAS resonded to these guys makes it about 100x more funny. You're doing the Lord's work, gentlemen.
OMG... So many good lines.
"I know your handlers are handling you."
"Why hasn't my praise changed your life?"
"The people's princess.."
Holy shit I cannot stop laughing.
MJ: "Yo dude, what the fuck? Cheez Doodles?"
SAS: "Leave it alone man, leave it alone."
Glorious beyond glorious.
Pure brilliance. Cannes-worthy.
"How 'bout you, Mark Jackson!??!"
God I love the internet, home video, and creative non-fiction.
Joakim slap attack!
Those guys are the best part of the NBA draft. Stu Scott looked like that eye is clearing up, no problem sending texts for him.
Give the sock a tv show!
I busted out at "youre going the be the best forward since Slava Medvedenko".
so do you think anyone goosed that make-up artist?
Does anyone know why Stuart Scott and Stephen A. Smith were throwing out so much anti-Mehemt Okur venom last night? Granted I was a little baked, but I swear to God Stuart Scott wrapped up a draftee interview by saying, "Guys, if Mehmet Okur can play in this league, then there is room for ________________". Dude- Okur is an All-Star!!!
I would buy a DVD of this and watch it every night before I went to bed.
Should. Have. Sent. A. Poet.....
Last I heard that Stephen A. Smith was filing a socksual harrassment suit against the blond bimbo.
Apparently she has been stocking him.
...
Ummm... my apologies, that was not funny.
I think I'm gonna go watch it again, quite frankly.
Damn work filters!!! Must wait until I get home to watch.
That was the best five minutes of my week. It kinda makes me sad that Mitch Hedberg isn't alive anymore.
Also- if anyone was watching the Yi Jianlian interview with SS, at the very beginning, Yi starts to talk, stops, looks at the camera and does some sort of growl. I need that video. Priceless.
@UkraineNotWeak: It's worth the wait.... Priceless, just priceless.
@UkraineNotWeak: i'm with you (leather). if ever there was a time i wish my work did not block youtubes... it is now.
These guys are awesome....I can't wait until the 2008 draft....
EVERYTHING I SAY IS IMPORTANT! That has to be my etched on my tombstone.
Noah is now, and forever will be, the people's princess.
The ONLY thing that would have made that video better would have been a "LE-MME-KNOW" chant starting up when Stu Scott was texting.
Mom, Stephen A. Smith yelled at me last night through the TV.
@Upshaws Leash:
It just ruins the ability to comment on so many things without the Youtubes at work.
I would have paid $1.99 for that video.
Man, fantastic work.
Watching the draft last night, my girlfriend comes into the room (from the other end of the apartment) and asks:
GF: Who is that asshole who keeps yelling?
ME: Oh, that's Stephen A. Smith --
GF: Why is he yelling, does he think everyone one is stupid?
ME: Well --
GF: How does that asshole have a job>
ME: Um --
GF: (watches another few seconds) Fuck this.
Here's last year's video: [deadspin.com]
Stuart Scott's texting posture concerns me.
Mike Conley is my new favorite player!
Who knew SAS used to be the spokesman for Pets.com?
Thank you for that video. My day is now 31% brighter.
@tuckpendleton: I think Vitale was 10,000 worse than SAS last night, especially with his Viagara-induced lust for young actresses making me throw up in my mouth on a repeated basis.
I wish they had smuggled in a bag of cheese doodles.
Quite Frankly, what kind of person makes a "I heart Stephen A Smith" sign?
@MisterC: One who's paychecks are signed, "Stephen A. Smith".
@Get Him A Body Bag, Yeah!: Dude, you know that if you open up your mouth that the puke will go out... right?
I never understand why people insist on swallowing that stuff! Spit it out already!
"It's time for Stephen A. to visit the can."
@HeavyPettingZoo: He's been merciless about Okur since the start of the playoffs. I made a Screaming SAS OkurHate comment the other day.
Then again I was stoned for the majority of the playoffs as well.
@MisterC: and that's when the whores move in...
Will, employ these guys to go to the Super Bowl next year. Make this happen. Please.
Have to admit, though, I too wish they had brought SAS the Cheeze Doodles. The Circle of Life would have been complete.
@Get Him A Body Bag, Yeah!: Vitale is always worse, because through the air-raid decibel bellowing, SAS makes good points sometimes. Vitale is nothing but an NCAA schill and a caricature who, along with Chris Berman, I hope get salmonella at the ESPN cafeteria.
/rant over.
Any player who would have stopped for a real interview with the Stephen A. Sock would have immediately become my favorite athlete of all time.
I really didn't need that extra "over" after the "/rant". Oops.
I wonder if 'Panic43' will ever return to deadspin...
dare I say it? 2007 DSHOF for these gentlemen.
The fact that almost every player (outside of Hawes. Fucker.) couldn't help but laugh at "Everything I say is important!" is just fantastic.
@DamnSkippy: And by "paychecks" you mean c-notes on the night stand, right?
wow that really was worth the 6 minutes or so of my life!
I nominate "The People's Princess" as Noah's official nickname.
That video made my somewhat shitty life much more pleasant.
Hmm, I haven't posted in a while, just want to see what this looks like in this weird fancy new format.
@Reasonable Doubt for a Reasonable Price: Conley started laughing as soon as he heard the guys voice. Just Priceless.
