Stephen A. Smith goes viral for epic rant about Knicks

Stephen A. Smit ranting

Stephen A. Smith may have delivered his magnum opus this week.

The ESPN analyst went viral for an epic rant about the New York Knicks on “NBA Countdown” after they blew a 28-point lead to the Brooklyn Nets and lost 111-106 on Wednesday. Almost no one on the team was spared, as Smith ripped into forward Julius Randle, head coach Tom Thibodeau, president of basketball operations Leon Rose, and others in the nearly three-minute rant. Check it out.

It is hard to pinpoint the single best moment from Smith’s tirade. Was it his exasperated scream, “The New York Knicks are trash!”? Or was it his furious “I’m not finished, Jalen,” when co-host Jalen Rose tried to interject?

In any event, Twitter loved Smith’s all-timer of a rant. Here were some of the best reactions to it.

The Knicks are now 12th in the East at 25-34 and have lost three separate games where they led by 20-plus points in 11 days. Smith, a longtime Knicks fan, has suffered greatly because of the team over the years. But this may be the lowest (and thus the most entertaining) point of Smith’s fandom ever.
