Stephen A. Smith is pulling no punches.
The ESPN analyst crushed Ben Simmons on Sunday after the Nets scrapped the mercurial star’s much-hyped debut in rather predictable fashion.
“I feel bad for anyone who was his teammate,” Smith said. “He quit on LSU, he quit on the Philadelphia 76ers and now he ain’t showing up for the Brooklyn Nets. We can point to all the excuses, all the rationale that we want to. I do recall despite him not playing, he still filed a grievance to collect $20 million he has not earned.
