Stephen A. Smith is a person who shows absolutely no mercy when he talks about certain athletes. In fact, his new podcast is quite literally called Know Mercy. Overall, Smith can be offensive with his commentary because he is so blunt. Although some athletes do take offense, he does not care. He gets paid to "tell the truth," and he will continue to do so. His way of doing things has ultimately made him the success he is today. Additionally, without him, ESPN would be in a very bad place.
Over the weekend, Stephen A. found himself watching the NBA Playoffs. Of course, on Sunday, the Boston Celtics played the Philadelphia 76ers in a Game 7. Ultimately, the Sixers were pitiful and consequently, the Celtics won in a blowout. Former Sixers star and current no-show Ben Simmons had fun with this and made fun of them on his Instagram story. Well, Stephen A. did not like this one bit, and on his show today, he absolutely roasted the Nets player. Below, you can see just how scathing this rant was.

Stephen A. Goes In
“The only thing worse than James Harden was that sorry trifling a-- Ben Simmons," Stephen A. began. “How the hell are you talking about a basketball player when you treat putting on a basketball uniform and dribbling, when you treat that as if somebody asked you to get on the front lines in Ukraine to fight Russia? That’s how scared he is to play basketball.” Smith's comparison in which he claims Simmons treats playing basketball like going to war, is hilariously brutal. However, that really is how it feels sometimes. Ultimately, it is not a great look for Ben.
Moving forward, no one even knows what is going to happen to Ben Simmons. He is not a very good basketball player right now. Moreover, he won't even play any games. Needless to say, he is not particularly useful, and that could mean a trade is on the horizon. That said, let us know what you think of Smith's comments, down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news from around the sports world.
