NBA World Reacts To Stephen A’s Ridiculous Claim
No stranger to making headlines, on Wednesday ESPN personality Stephen A. Smith ruffled some feathers with his latest NBA take.
Speaking across the table to Jay Williams, Stephen A. attempted to make the case that Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant may be more valuable to his team than Giannis is to the Milwaukee Bucks.
Saying, “I can’t sit up there and definitively say I’d rather have Giannis [than Ja] come playoff time!”

“I like Ja Morant but this take is too ludicrous even for Stephen A,” replied the Detroit Free Press’ Philip Lewis.

Ja Morant is having a breakout season this year. But Giannis Antetokounmpo has proven to be the motor that drives one of the most elite squads in the NBA. Not to mention, he closed last season’s finals with a 50-piece.
