Stephen A. Smith and his show is being called out this week.
Over the weekend, the country experienced the worst dunk contest that has ever been put together. Earlier this week, ESPN NBA analyst Stephen A. Smith labeled it as one of the worst in NBA history while appearing on the sports debate show “First Take.”
“I want to apologise. I called it a national atrocity. I was wrong, it was a global atrocity. It was the worst Slam Dunk Contest I have ever seen in the history of basketball, at any level.”
Nobody batted an eye at what he said since it came on Monday.
However, it is now Thursday and First Take put his comments as their headline and calling it a ‘global atrocity’ while Russia is currently invading Ukraine is highly insensitive.
The headline for this discussion included Smith’s quote that said “The Dunk Contest was a global atrocity.”

This year’s Slam Dunk contest featured more missed dunks than converted ones. The participants went 7-25 (28%) in the first round and there were no 50-point dunks in the entire contest.
That competition means absolutely nothing to what is currently happening in Ukraine.
