Parsons was hyped after winning the Celebrity Game MVP trophy and trashed Stephen A. Smith in his MVP acceptance speech. “Crossed him (Stephen A. Smith) up yesterday, gave it to him today. Stephen A,” Parsons said.

Stephen A. Smith injured his ankle last night while practicing on the court with Micah Parsons. He had to be rushed to the hospital following the incident. The Cowboys linebacker claimed Stephen A. injured his ankle because of a nasty crossover from him during practice. And Parsons stuck to his story during his acceptance speech.

Taking further digs at Stephen A. Smith, he added, “Stephen A. had the best lineup… on paper.”

Meanwhile, Stephen A. Smith had a different version of how he injured his ankle ahead of the All-Star Celebrity Game. The veteran analyst decided to play Micah Parsons wearing his Christian Louboutin Red Bottom sneakers after the Cowboys star trash-talked him. Smith slipped while shooting a jump shot and fell on his ankle.

Stephen A. claimed that is what injured his ankle, and he was never crossed over by Parsons. Stephen A. called Parsons a “pathological liar” and laughed at the idea of getting crossed over by a Cowboys player, “Crossed over by a Cowboy, by Micah Parsons, are you kidding?”

Although Stephen A. denied Parsons’ story, he admitted that the incident was “quite embarrassing” for him.

Michael Jordan’s present could not save Stephen A. Smith tonight

After Stephen A. Smith embarrassed himself last night by injuring his ankle during practice, Michael Jordan allegedly sent him Jordan shoes to wear for tonight’s game. The analyst wore “Bred Reimagined” Jordan 4 to the Celebrity Game to avoid another mishap.

However, Stephen A. Smith could not come out with a win despite getting reinforcement from Michael Jordan himself. Team Shannon dominated Stephen A. Smith’s team and beat them 100-91. Even though Stephen A. had more hoopers on his team on paper, they could not execute the game plan on the floor.

Micah Parsons credited his teammates’ heart and effort for defeating Stephen A.’s team tonight. “You can’t outplay heart, and all my teammates played with heart.” Parsons got the last laugh on Stephen A. Smith, and the ESPN analyst will definitely have some words for him on the next show of First Take.
