Stephon Marbury accused Stephen A. Smith of staying a race traitor in the wake of Smith’s prolonged rant about Kyrie Irving on ESPN’s “First Take” previous 7 days.
Responding to a tweet in which Smith claimed of Irving, “We are witnessing a person of the most delusional athletes in American history,” Marbury wrote, “We are witnessing 1 of the most significant uncle Tom’s on the world in @stephenasmith.”
Smith tackled the criticism, albeit indirectly, on “First Choose.”
“I’m not going to insult Stephon Marbury,” he mentioned. “I will say Stephon Marbury has experienced a trouble with me considering the fact that 2009 because we thought he was a bit strange when he was ingesting Vaseline, virtually on movie — like it was a bunch of cheeseburgers. Like, gobbling Vaseline.”
The 45-yr-old Marbury, who previous performed in the NBA in 2009, disagreed that this was the root of his beef with Smith.
“Lol.. I had a issue @stephenasmith when you was contacting yourself a source immediately after Larry Brown was feeding you information which were being lies that you documented to make your name,” Marbury tweeted. “You never ever put your name on the lies. You split down black athletes for attain and fame.”
What Smith has reported a number of occasions, about Irving and Ben Simmons, is that he is wary of the way they will affect other black NBA players in foreseeable future collective bargaining agreements.
“I’m only meant to be complimentary?” he requested past 7 days, in response to Jamie Foxx’s criticism of his requires on Simmons. “I’m calling out a Kyrie and a Ben Simmons because of their influence and result on the black athlete. When you go to the collective bargaining desk, and [the owners] use them as an illustration to try to minimize their contribution to players, that is about people gamers. That is about the black athlete.”
