Jay Williams and Stephen A. Smith traded barbs over their “asinine” points in a back-and-forth on “First Take,” which stemmed from comments Smith made about Giannis Antetokounmpo.
The former NBA point guard took issue with Smith calling Antetokounmpo an “underachiever” last week, leading Williams to call it “one of your worst takes” and that it “was horrible.”
“I think we really need to do a better job of reframing some of these conversations,” Williams said on Monday’s episode. “If you were to say that the franchise, the Milwaukee Bucks, have underachieved or are the biggest underachievers with the talent of Giannis, fair. But a guy who has a 50-point closeout game, a guy who has never chased any of these dream-team scenarios, a guy who is a Finals MVP, a guy who is a multi-time All-Star, All-NBA, all everything, global face of the game.”
