Stephen A. Smith is someone who is always entertaining whenever he gives his opinion on the latest big story. Overall, he is someone who has built a huge platform over at ESPN. Without him, the entire station would be in a much worse state than it is now. They owe him a lot of their success, and it's cool to see Smith getting respect outside of the network. For instance, he recently got to speak to Paul George on his Podcast P show. It was here where they spoke on a plethora of NBA-related topics.
One such topic had to do with none other than Demarcus Cousins. As you may already know, Cousins is currently playing basketball in Puerto Rico. Overall, he has struggled to get a job in the NBA. Despite being an amazing player just a few years ago, he is out of the league. In Smith's eyes, this is a great injustice. In the clip below, you can see the ESPN analyst delivering some great words of encouragement to Cousins.
