Stephen A. Smith recently reacted to a video posted by the New Orleans Pelicans in response to his comments. He and the Pelicans’ social media team have engaged in a back-and-forth exchange on the popular social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter. This exchange occurred after the analyst voiced his criticism of their star forward, Zion Williamson.

Smith criticized Zion Williamson’s weight and commitment, prompting a response from the Pelicans’ social media team. They shared a video of Smith’s sports blunders and mocked his performance statistics, including his average of 1.5 points and 1 assist, alongside a clip of him criticizing Kwame Brown on ESPN.

Refusing to let the comment slide, Stephen A. Smith quickly responded on X, pointing out how they readily offer excuses for their lack of success. He tweeted:

LESS!!! Can’t score when you can’t play due to a devastating knee injury. That’s my fact. Now……what’s y’all excuse for never winning anything???

Fans are waiting for a response from the Pelicans’ social media team after the analyst’s strong response. Despite Smith’s criticism, Williamson has stayed quiet. His past inconsistency has drawn criticism, but this season, he’s performed well, averaging 22.5 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 4.9 assists in 45 games.

Zion Williamson discusses adapting his game to fit the NBA.

Zion Williamson, known for his athleticism, adjusted his game in the NBA to handle physical contact. In a post-game press conference after defeating the Houston Rockets, he revealed his improved playmaking skills, surprising fans with his ability to distribute the ball like a guard, enhancing his overall performance.

Zion Williamson acknowledged the need to sell physical contact to draw foul calls, a skill he had to learn upon entering the NBA. Despite his aggressive playing style and frequent contact, he emphasized the importance of adapting to ensure fair treatment from referees. He added,

I wasn’t taught to play the game like that. With the league we’re in, if I want to get a call sometimes I have to sell it in order for the ref to see it. I just gotta sell it better.

Zion Williamson’s reluctance to bait for foul calls, similar to Stephen Curry’s recent remarks, highlights the physical challenges he faces due to his aggressive playing style. Despite averaging a career-low 6.8 free throws per game, Williamson must learn to sell physical contact to receive fair treatment from referees and continue growing in the league.
