The last time the New York Knicks made it to the Conference Finals was in 1999. This time around, the New York side made it to the Semi-Finals for the first time since the 2012-2013 season. However, the Knicks had to leave the stage without seeing the Conference Finals once again as they got ousted by the Miami Heat. Aggravating the vanquished side’s fall, a veteran analyst and massive New York fan has mercilessly called out certain Knicks stars for their lackadaisical playoff displays.

ESPN analyst Stephen A. Smith did not hold back from getting candid about the Knicks’ playoff exit. The tirade on Knicks players took Washington Wizards star Kyle Kuzma by surprise. Turns out, NBA fans too have joined Kyle Kuzma to register their bewilderment.

Renowned analyst bewilders Kyle Kuzma with a crude take on Knicks stars

Hailing from New York City, Stephen A. Smith cheers for the Knicks. When the Knicks best playoff run since 2013 got shattered at the hands of the Heat, Stephen A. couldn’t help but vent out. Furthermore, in an episode of NBA Countdown on ESPN, he fired shots at the Knicks stars, RJ Barrett and Julius Randle. Stephen A. pointed out that RJ Barrett has had a lackluster playoff stint and even said that he was “pathetic“. The ESPN analyst’s tirade on Julius Randle was more ruthless. “Julius Randle. I am done with this man. I am calling for the New York Knicks to trade him,” Stephen A. said.
