The whole Nets circus is so fascinating to watch. Locally, no one really cares. But nationally, it’s a big deal. And Ben Simmons’ aversion to playing basketball has brought out the absolute best in Stephen A. Smith.
“Nobody is worse than Ben Simmons,” Smith said Monday on ESPN First Take. “Ben Simmons might also be the weakest, most pathetic excuse for a professional athlete we have ever seen in not just American history, but the history of sports.”
Read that quote again. Study it. Reflect on it. Just amazing. Imagine Stephen A. in a library, working his way through leatherbound books, pouring over the entire recorded history of sport.
