Stephen A. Smith recently decided to weigh in on the brewing feud between James Harden and Giannis Antetokounmpo.

I’ll take that any day,” Harden said.
Today, Stephen A. Smith got on First Take and spoke about Harden’s recent comments. Smith decided to take Harden’s side in all of this, saying Giannis has yet to do anything in the league and that he should stop talking. Stephen A. believes Harden was in the right to respond and that Giannis should win something before going after a seasoned veteran.
Max Kellerman took Giannis side which isn’t surprising since the two need something to debate. If they agree, the point of the show kind of flies out the window. During the exchange, Smith got fairly heated as he continued to defend Harden and his recent shots. However, it’s important to note that Smith failed to mention that Harden has yet to win anything either, at least in terms of a championship. At this point, the only thing separating these players is a failed NBA Finals appearance.
Whose side are you on in all of this? Let us know in the comments, below.
