1. This is one of the best performance art pieces you have ever seen from Stephen A. Smith.
The First Take the host shut down during Tuesday’s show about a potential problem with the NBA bubble: players have lost access to wives and girlfriends.
Smith worked in an instant that the players were in the Orlando bubble and unable to participate in “recreational activities” and “what these kids are used to”.
“You really, really think that people will be left without their wives or their women,” Smith asked his cohosts.
According to Smith, three months alone will not fly with the players.
“After a month, I just said, ‘forget three months, they will struggle with three weeks!’ Why do you think they wanted Las Vegas? “
When host Max Kellerman was able to speak during Smith’s passionate enthusiasm, he asked what Smith thought the players would do to fix this. Without missing a beat, Smith shouted: “THE SKIRTS ARE VIOLATING THE BUBBLE!”
Only a spectacular performance by Smith, balancing indignation, humor and dismay as his voice hits all sorts of octaves.
