Stephen A. Smith slammed on First Take for 'trash' anti-NFL list as Kendrick Perkins rages 'this has a hidden agenda'
STEPHEN A. Smith acquired loads of grief over a sports activities ranking record that utterly ignored the NFL.
The First Take star's record brought on fellow panelist Kendrick Perkins to be livid on the ESPN set in New York Metropolis.
On Tuesday, Stephen A. was given the duty to name his prime 5 duos in sports historical past.
The 55-year-old is renowned for displaying his fandom of the NBA greater than some other sport.
Smith anointed Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen as his greatest duo in sports historical past.
Nevertheless, the sports media star's record took a turn when he didn't have a single NFL duo in the remainder of his rankings.
Stephen A. ranked Shaquille O'Neal and the late Kobe Bryant because the No. 2 sports duo and the women's basketball coach-player mixture of Cynthia Cooper and Sheryl Swoopes as the No. three duo.
Magic Johnson and Kareem Abdul-Jabaar have been ranked fourth and NHL legends Wayne Gretzky and Mark Messier have been ranked fifth.
The First Take panel of host Molly Qerim and analysts Shannon Sharpe, Jeff Saturday, and Perkins went berserk over the rankings.
Qerim instantly informed Smith, "This is suspect and it's a bit of bias. This is purported to be all sports, I see four basketball."
Saturday referred to as the listing an "insult" and "straight trash."
And Perkins didn't maintain back on Stephen A.'s rankings.
"I've by no means recognized you to be so biased," the previous NBA star stated.
"This record has a hidden agenda written throughout it."
The controversial sports activities duo record is available in a questionable time because the Super Bowl between the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers begins in less than two weeks on February 11.
Smith would stand by together with his rankings listing, saying, "I put hockey up there and I put females up in there too."
