Stephen A. Smith Is in Agony Over the Knicks Losing the No. 1 Draft Pick
Stephen A. Smith is in agony, and it's no surprise that his pain is once again caused by the Knicks.
The ESPN personality tweeted out a video on Tuesday night shortly after the NBA draft lottery ended, expressing his woes over the Knicks not landing the No. 1 pick. The Pelicans earned the top 2019 pick, which means they're likely to draft Duke phenom Zion Williamson and turn the franchise around.
Knicks fans hoped and prayed, literally, that their beloved team would get the top pick and Williamson. When this didn't happen, Smith reacted like we assume many fans around New York did.
