8) The Raptors Still Don’t Have Stephen A. Smith’s Respect
I’ve kinda grown in admiration of Stephen A. Smith. It takes a lot of moxy for a personality to conduct a popular TV show based on a subject they know next to nothing about.
Mr. Smith’s job is to be brash and sassy, which he does well, although you’d think he would watch a game or two before he spews word vomit all over our television screens.
