Stephen A Smith has ‘racist double standards’ for discrediting Luka Doncic’s 73-point night, claims media rival Jason Whitlock

Jason Whitlock has persisted in his criticism of rival Stephen A Smith, alleging that the ESPN anchor has “racist double standards” regarding Luka Doncic and Joel Embiid. In recent days, both Embiid and Doncic have scored 70 points in a single game, but Smith’s criticism regarding their respective performances grabbed attention. He ignored Luka Doncic’s historic performance of 73 points on the 27th January night against the Atlanta Hawks.

Smith complimented the 76ers center on his outstanding performance. Still, after Doncic’s spectacular scoring display, he blasted the Atlanta Hawks for their lack of defense and failed to give the Slovenian star any credit. Following Embiid’s 70-point performance against the Spurs, the ESPN anchor praised and described the 76ers star as extraordinary. But after Mavericks forward Doncic scored 73 points in the Hawks game, Smith criticized the Atlanta defense and labeled it “disgraceful.”

Whitlock claims that Smith’s divergent responses to Embiid and Doncic highlight a larger problem of anti-White racism in the world of sports. Jason Whitlock said:

Stephen A's contradictory messages here can only be described in one way accurately racist. He's got a racist double standard and many people in the league because NBA is a black-dominated league.
Jason Whitlock said

Whitlock emphasizes the storyline that is “anti-White.” He is referring to the mainstream media of today when he says that experts whose thoughts have a hint of “anti-White racism” find instant success in the American media.

In Mamba Tribute, Stephen A Smith illuminates Michael Jordan’s viral meme

As an 18-time NBA All-Star and five-time NBA Champion, Kobe Bryant will become the seventh Laker to receive a statue in his honor. Undoubtedly, the statue is deeply sentimental to the player’s closest family members and passionate fans. ESPN’s Stephen A Smith used a popular meme of Michael Jordan to express his deep feelings before the appearance of the statue.

While remembering the Black Mamba, Stephen A Smith said:

Our hearts still ache for what transpired, for losing those lives. But Kobe Bryant, to basketball lovers, to the champions everywhere, stands out in our minds. It's why we saw that meme and still see that meme of Michale Jordan crying, It still hurts.
Stephen A. Smith said

Jordan’s crying image, which he used to depict painful times and losses, went viral very fast after his September 2009 Basketball Hall of Fame night. He later had a very similar moment at Kobe Bryant’s Memorial Service back in 2020.

Jordan and Bryant had a deeper, more profound relationship akin to that of a mentor and protégé. Kobe frequently talked about how Jordan, his friend and brother, had always supported and mentored him. Bryant was just an inquisitive young man full of questions, in Jordan’s opinion.
