Stephen A. Smith shares his thoughts on the Zion Williamson controversy
On June 7, Stephen A. Smith waded into the Zion Williamson controversy, sharing his thoughts on the situation.
"A girl by the name of Moriah Mills calling him out by name. Giving vivid details of their encounters with one another. She's a pornstar!
"Man, you only played 29 games last year, and you missed the season before that. What the hell is taking you so long to get healthy? Well, now I know! You're young. You're not married. You can do what you wanna do. It's a damn shame she putting your stuff out like that. Need to cancel here.
"But there's a bigger issue here. She's a pornstar. One would surmise she's kind of an expert at whatever it is she does. I've been waiting for the leg injury to heal, Zion; I've been waiting for a while... He's a man-child."
