Viewers before Game 7 of the NBA Finals were treated to view and the sound of a screaming Stephen A. Smith, possibly in the moment for his own good.
More than an hour before Tipoff from the last and decisive match of the championship series, Smith left his passion for the game on -Air – but possibly with a volume that was not suitable for the occasion at that time.
Video that was placed on social media by announcing terribly, showed Smith in a screaming match on ESPN with his co-star and former Oklahoma City Thunder player Kendrick Perkins.
While he started with a lower part, Smith finally raised his voice while he called Perkins ‘really annoying’ because he believed that some players in this game might not be able to perform the same as in other environments.
‘This is a man who is a champion, you are talking about a game 7 … He behaves like everyone who produces all year round, come on game 7:’ It’s no different, it’s no different. “It’s very, very, very different,” Smith said at the top of his lungs.
Another member of the desk, former Golden State Warriors director Bob Myers, shot back on Smith and said, “Only because you are shouting something does it not mean that it is true.”

When the pre-game show switched from ESPN to ABC, Smith continued his roaring and enthusiastically at Max Volume. Only this time he started at 10 am and never dropped from there.
Dissatisfied viewers let their anger and exhaustion are known on social media.
“It’s like looking at the THX intro on a complete volume, but an hour,” said a user on X.
Another posted: “The fact that ESPN cannot see that he is destroying their credibility is astonishing.”
“I can’t believe that ESPN gave this man the bag for a couple of screaming,” another noticed.
One message was: “ESPN suits must have told them to really sell how big this game is and Stephen A did that by just shouting that it is a big problem.”
After the game had started, a disaster immediately struck for the Indiana Pacers when wounded guard Haliburton seemed to tear his Achilles tendon.
He left the game and will not return, a big blow to the hope of Indiana to win this champion match.
