The Knicks have officially broken Stephen A. Smith.
Smith, a lifelong outspoken Knicks fan, reached the brink of his own sanity after the Knicks whiffed on Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving as free agency opened on Sunday, with the stars instead opting to pair up with the Nets.
“Somehow, someway I’m just trying to hold it together, you know,” Smith said in a video on Twitter Sunday. “Lifelong Knick fan. Years of mediocrity. I thought this was gonna be it. At least weeks ago. And then when I was doing ‘First Take,’ we were in Oakland and I got word of Kyrie and Brooklyn (and) realizing that meant KD in Brooklyn.
