Stephen A. Smith Under Fire for Sports Knowledge Gaps
TL;DR Summary
OutKick writer Bobby Burack argues that Stephen A. Smith shows thin command of sports across MLB, college basketball, NFL, and beyond, citing a drawn‑out UNC coaching suggestion for Kenny Smith, misstatements about players, and criticism from peers like Jeff Goodman and Josh Hart. The piece suggests ESPN pays him for star power rather than expertise and notes moments of disengagement (solitaire during the NBA Finals) as the busy spring sports calendar—NCAA Tournament, MLB, Masters, and the NFL Draft—approaches.
