A caller identified as Rob found it majorly difficult to communicate with Smith as his speech was heavily slurred. The ESPN host smelt a rat immediately and gave the offending caller a huge ticking off. The ESPN NBA host then proceeded to tell him to come back when he is sober, before cutting the call.

Coming to the NBA season, the Milwaukee Bucks had a stellar run, winning 60 games and losing only 22. They boasted of a home streak of 33 wins and only 8 losses. In terms of away games, Milwaukee chalked up 27 wins and only 14 losses.

The Toronto Raptors were their closest competitors, with 58 wins and 24 losses. However, the Raptors were mired in calls of poor sportsmanship on the part of their fans. Things kicked off when they cheered wildly when Kevin Durant injured himself in his first game back from injury. Then, things got worse when they heckled Stephen Curry’s family and even hurled abuses.
