Summary
On Fox News, Stephen A. Smith said he still blames Donald Trump for the Knicks’ Game 3 NBA Finals loss and would not retract the claim.
Trump had called Smith a “low IQ individual” and “dumb as a rock” after Smith first tied the defeat to the president’s June 8 appearance at Madison Square Garden.
Smith said he took no offense at the attack, arguing Trump had every right to “clap back” because Smith had criticized him publicly.
The commentator said the presidential visit disrupted fan momentum by shutting nearby streets and forcing outdoor watch parties to be cleared, undermining an atmosphere he said mattered to a team chasing its first title in 53 years.
