Stephen A. Smith Criticizes Isiah Thomas for Publicly Criticizing Him on Social Media

The Boston Celtics have been dominating the NBA scene this season, but their success hasn’t translated to recognition on the All-NBA Team ballots. Despite their stellar performance, only Jayson Tatum made the cut, leaving Jaylen Brown feeling snubbed.

In response to the lack of recognition, Brown unleashed an offensive onslaught in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Indiana Pacers, helping the Celtics secure a 3-0 series lead. However, things took an interesting turn when renowned sports analyst Stephen A. Smith criticized Brown for being unmarketable and having an “I’m better than you” attitude.

Former NBA star Isiah Thomas, who has known Brown since college, came to his defense and called out Smith for his comments. Smith, not one to back down, took to Twitter to respond to Thomas, expressing his confusion over the criticism and questioning why Thomas didn’t reach out to him directly.

Despite Smith’s claims of being a longtime fan of Brown, tensions between the two analysts seem far from resolved. The exchange between Smith and Thomas has sparked a debate in the basketball community, with fans eagerly awaiting the next chapter in this unfolding drama. As the Celtics continue their playoff run, all eyes will be on Brown to see if he can silence his critics and prove his worth on the court.
