ESPN's "First Take" might as well be renamed "Stephen A. Smith and Friends," but two contributors stole the show Wednesday during a NBA playoffs conversation.
Chris "Mad Dog" Russo, a longtime New York and Sirius XM radio host who has joined Smith for weekly appearances, and former 15-year NBA veteran and current ESPN NBA analyst J.J. Redick squared off about how people with microphones — like themselves — talk about athletes.
The segment revolved around Draymond Green, his ejection during Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals and how the Golden State Warriors stalwart addressed it all after Tuesday night's Game 2, a loss to the Memphis Grizzlies.
