During Wednesday’s edition of First Take, Stephen A. Smith went on an epic rant blasting Max Kellerman, who had said in the past that Kawhi was more clutch than Kobe and better than LeBron James.
“When it comes to the sport of basketball, you should be banned from talking about the sport,”
“Your take was embarrassing! After all of this noise that you have made all of these years about Kawhi Leonard, you come on the top of the show, I stepped back, I got a cup of tea right here, Max I gave you the floor and your response to the American public, after the drivel you have subjected us all to for the last several years is ‘Oops, I blew it’? That’s the best you can do?”
Oh noooo, @stephenasmith brought out the receipts this morning! 😲
