ESPN personality Stephen A. Smith is known for his often controversial takes on sports news. But, does he regret any of the takes he’s given over the years?
Clippers star Paul George asked this very question when Smith joined his Podcast P show this week, and Smith quickly knew the answer. One of the videos that continues to come up is his infamous rant about the Lakers trading Kwame Brown for Pau Gasol.
“Kwame Brown, I wish I could do that over, I wouldn’t do it,” Smith said. “I know what I said. I did mean it. I ain’t going to sit here and tell you I ain’t mean the s--- I said, but I didn’t know it was gonna be like this. Remember, I said it before Twitter, Facebook. I didn’t know, 15 years later, they gonna have memes, videos. When I see what he says, I realize how hurt he is.”
