Stephen A. Smith Reveals Biggest Regret to Paul George
Stephen A. Smith has started several arguments in his career that he may have regretted, but there's one in particular that bugs him more than most - he finally revealed which one it was very recently.
On an episode of Podcast P with Paul George, Stephen A. Smith gave a very long and candid answer to his biggest career regret. If there's one person that Smith feels most regret toward, it's Glenn Robinson.
“There’s several [regrets], if I’m being totally honest. Me and Big Dog Glenn Robinson, if I see him I’ll apologize to him. It’s not that what happened – I didn’t report anything wrong, I didn’t do anything wrong. But I took it to a place it didn’t need to go. And the reason I took it to a place it didn’t need to go was because I was really pissed off at him. I felt like he got Coach Randy Ayers fired…in fairness I don’t talk about it because Randy Ayers has asked me to let it go, [Maurice] Cheeks has asked me to let it go all of them have asked me to let it go. And the truth of the matter is I let it go a long time ago because it needed to be let go. If Big Dog Robinson and I were in a place, somebody was going to die, somebody was going to be killed. That’s how deep it got. Because it was like, you could see the hatred he had for me and it was mutual because I felt like he didn’t represent the coaching the way it needed to. And I said this is going to far and the moment it hit me was when I saw his son. His son was in the league and was walking by me almost like he wanted to put his head down. Not because he was disrespectful, almost as he was fearful that I was going to have something negative to say about him. And I said it’s on me. I’m older, I’m the journalist, I’m the professional.”
It may seem at times that Stephen A. Smith just blasts players without any remorse. From this statement, it looks like this is far from the truth. His actions have consequences when he's off camera, and he's still a human being off camera. Hopefully, Smith's candidness toward the situation is something that can bring players and media closer together.
