Stephen A. Smith Fires Back at Paul George's Podcast Comments

During a recent episode of Podcast P, which is presented by Wave Sports and Entertainment, LA Clippers star Paul George addressed comments made by Stephen A. Smith about he and Kawhi Leonard not playing in the playoffs. Smith suggested that Leonard could have given the Clippers something, which George pushed back against.

"I heard Stephen A talking about… like, 'Kawhi could have gave you 10 minutes or five minutes.' Bro it’s not about that. Like, if I got to go on the floor and can't be myself… then like what the f--k am I on the floor for? Now I’m liable to get even more hurt. It was a dumb take."

George then responded to his co-host, saying Smith had never played professional sports, and doesn't understand this side of things. Seeing these comments, Smith recently fired back at George, saying the following:

"You've missed 119 of 308 regular season games. That's 38% due to injuries," Smith said. "In that time span you've earned $148.2M in your career... Kawhi Leonard, he's missed 147 of 308 regular season games... I don't see the Clipper fans getting any refunds. I still am waiting for that championship from the fair-weather stepchild known as the Clippers compared to the Lakers. If you combine your money with his money, that equates to $102 million in salary and $17 million in endorsements."
