‘First Take’ Had So Much Fun Roasting Stephen A. Smith Over the Knicks Being Eliminated from NBA Playoffs

The New York Knicks had their season come to an end Friday night with a Game 6 loss to the Heat in Miami.

Jalen Brunson and Co. looked so good in their first-round win over the Cavaliers but seemed out of sorts in too many games against Miami. Now they’re off on vacation while the Heat are off to face the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference finals. 

ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith is a big Knicks fan, and recently, he spent many days on “First Take” yelling about how good they have been playing and how they were going to go to the NBA Finals.

Did Smith’s morning show have fun rubbing in the loss? Yes, yes it did. 

Ouch.
