Stephen A. Smith

Whatever the media department is, social media department, this is directed at y'all.

First of all, get your facts straight.

One and a half points with Salem State, it was actually less than that.

I cracked my kneecap in half.

I never played, okay?

But I got a basketball scholarship.

that paid for my education.

I'll go back to that later.

When we sit up there and we talk about these old videos and they try to troll me, you know, I mean, you didn't see me hanging with straight shooter.

I mean, the lethal shooter himself.

Did you see him?

Did you show what I was doing when I shot the basketball then?

You gonna just bring up an air ball, a bunch of air balls, by the way, that I shot with James Harden years ago in a shirt and tie instead of pointing out, you know, all the jump shots that I've made in recent memory?

We forget we can forget that as well because you know what I'm 58 years old and I'm not trying to play but I know what I can do and I know what I've done.

Here's the thing that really, really annoys me about the Pelicans.

We heighten our level of sensitivity because I pointed out something about the star on your team and a franchise.

And you want to use that as an opportunity to get at me.

Very, very bad mistake on your part because as a franchise, you don't have the credentials.

You just don't.

But before I even get into that, let me say this, and I want to say this because it's very, very important to the American people that you're watching.
