Stephen A. Smith, the well-known ESPN on-air personality, has landed in hot water a few times recently. While many people enjoy watching and listening to Smith as an entertainer, others see him as an example of what is wrong with modern journalism.
Draymond Green, a four-time NBA champion who has also ventured into the media **** e, told Jemele Hill on his podcast that he doesn't view Smith as a journalist because he doesn't do the kinds of things traditional journalists do, such as speaking to players in the locker room. The star forward also said that Smith compounds the problem by insisting that he is a journalist.
Now Smith has responded to Green.
On Smith's SiriusXM show, he had a bone to pick with Green and offered to talk to him on the air.
"You and I were pretty tight. Then, after the choking incident with Rudy Gobert and the slap to Jusuf Nurkić, I upset you because I called you and said it was difficult to defend you. We've never talked since that time," Smith said.
