Stephen A. Smith fired back at President Donald Trump saying he has a “low IQ” after the Knicks’ Game 3 loss.
It all started when Trump did an interview after the game.
The reporter asked Trump how he was responding Stephen A. Smith saying that he will blame he if the Knicks lose tonight.
He replied, “I think he’s a good man, but you need some skills to run for president. You need a high IQ. I’m not sure Stephen has that. I don’t think he has that.”
The SAS was not happy with Trump’s comments. And he went three-plus minutes on ESPN about it.
“I’ll put my IQ against yours any day of the week,” Smith said.
“I’d better go and ask you why you’ve been running away from me for the past year since I wanted to talk to you?
“I appreciate the fact that you called me a good boy, because in reality I am a good man until you drain the water for me, after that I have to show the other side.
“The other side of me came out last night when I realized that businesses are at risk, because you showed up. The crowd that was around Madison Square Garden and the surrounding areas, you backed off. I thought you were about the economy? I thought you were going to help the people of New York?
“Have the New York Knicks earned it? The answer would be no. This is a sports program, so I’m not going to move forward.”
But, Smith actually went ahead.
He warned the President to “get the hell away” from the rest of the series.
“Jalen Brunson, Mikal Bridges, Karl Anthony-Towns all played better without you,” Smith said.
“The crowd was on holiday, they’re loud and threatening when you’re not there, business was going well before you showed up.
“This is what you did. I thought you were from New York? I thought you cared? I thought it was important to you? Obviously, it wasn’t and you know how we know? Because you’re actually talking about the return of game four.
“Obviously he needs a break and the New York Knicks need it too … give the people of New York a break and stay in the White House. Do whatever you have to do, but just ignore the New York Knicks until this series is over.”
