The New Orleans Pelicans, and specifically their star forward Zion Williamson, have been a constant target of ESPN analyst Stephen A. Smith. On Friday, one of the team’s voices called out the face of First Take for comments that he believed crossed a line.
Earlier in the day, Smith took aim at Williamson’s weight and passion for basketball during Get Up. Williamson has been a frequent target of Smith and others during his NBA career.
“Zion Williamson, it’s not about his game,” Smith said. “It’s about how many burgers he’s eating and whether or not he is going to be in shape or if he’s going to keep eating McDonald’s and have chefs clamoring for him to come to their restaurants. That’s what he has to prove, that the chefs don’t love him any longer. That he’s committed to playing basketball and being in shape.”
