The Robert Sarver story has led to some strong reactions.

Robert Sarver is public enemy number one in the NBA right now and for good reason. A report recently came out that details how Sarver made numerous lewd comments about female employees, while also using the N-word on numerous occasions. It is a horrible look for the NBA and it has only been made worse by Adam Silver's weak punishment which includes a one-year suspension and a $10 million fine.

Many fans were hoping for the league to be stiffer with Sarver, and one of the people critiquing the league right now is none other than Stephen A. Smith. The First Take host has been adamant that Sarver should be ashamed, and that overall, he has done damage to the NBA brand.

The Sarver story is still developing, so stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates.
