Smith reaffirmed he would blame President Donald Trump if the New York Knicks don\u2019t win the NBA championship. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=1321\">CNN Hosts Laugh Off Tacky White House UFC Light Show<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The sports and politics commentator ran rings around Sean Hannity on the Fox News personality\u2019s own show, <i>Hannity<\/i>, on Thursday night after Hannity challenged him on his earlier claim that Trump was to blame for the Knicks losing Game 3 of the finals against the San Antonio Spurs. <\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Trump\u2019s attendance in Manhattan amounted to a PR disaster. He was booed as his motorcade approached Madison Square Garden. He was booed when his face was shown on the Jumbotron during the national anthem. And after the game, Smith said it was all his fault. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Smith said that the president\u2019s attendance at that game killed the good vibes that had carried them to the finals for the first time since 1999. <\/p>\n<p>He stuck to his guns on <i>Hannity<\/i> when the 64-year-old said Smith must have \u201clost his mind\u201d if he really thought that it would be Trump\u2019s fault if the Knicks went on to lose the finals, which will now go to at least five games. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey got their mojo back, OK?\u201d Smith said. \u201cBut before the game, I said that and I stood by it. He had no business at that game. See, people\u2014this is a hard conversation to your listeners out there because like you tell me to stay in my lane when it comes to politics, you don\u2019t know sports! You don\u2019t understand.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The president and Smith have been going back and forth at one another for days. <\/p>\n<p>After Smith\u2019s initial comments, Trump, who turns 80 on Sunday and appeared to fall asleep during the game, swung back, saying, \u201cHe is a nice guy, but you need a certain aptitude to run for president. You need a high IQ,\u201d he said, referencing Smith\u2019s rumored White House ambitions. \u201cI\u2019m not sure that Stephen has that. I don\u2019t think he does actually.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He then followed up with a Truth Social frenzy on Wednesday, saying, \u201cStephen A. Smith is an arrogant fool, a low IQ individual. In other words, he\u2019s \u2018dumb as a rock,\u2019 and totally unqualified to ever think of running for high political office, or even low political office, for that matter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=1319\">Top \u201860 Minutes\u2019 Producer Quits in Latest Blow to MAGA-Curious CBS Boss<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI take no offense with the president coming after me the way that he did,\u201d Smith continued to Hannity. \u201cPeople go after him every day. I certainly went after him. He has every right to come back and clap back at me. I\u2019m a big boy. I can take it. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe ain\u2019t fazing me one bit. But this man was raised in Queens, New York\u2014lifelong Knicks fan\u2014knows about the suffering that spans 53 years. And when you are a true sports fan, you know every little thing could disrupt the momentum.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Smith added: \u201cAfter they lost Game 3, I thought they would lose Game 4. And sure enough, they were down by 29 points. So I definitely was blaming him because there\u2019s nothing like they looked en route to a 13-game winning streak. See, he wants to talk and call me names and go\u2014Donald Trump knows he had no business disrupting that mojo. Not a true New York Knicks fan.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Had the Knicks lost in Game 4, which they won by one point 107-106 after a remarkable 29-point comeback, Smith said, \u201cI\u2019d have blamed it on Donald Trump. That\u2019d have been on Donald Trump. Because of the 13-game winning streak, flowing playing exceptional basketball until he showed up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The battle between the two started when Smith accused the president of siphoning off the Knicks\u2019 \u201cmojo.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur president showed up to New York City last night. And needless to say, what I feared would happen ended up happening,\u201d he said to the backdrop of patriotic music. \u201cThe New York Knicks lost, and obviously I\u2019m blaming him.\u201d<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cWhy am I blaming him, ladies and gentlemen? It\u2019s very, very simple, because the president disrupted our mojo. I\u2019ve said this on many occasions over the last 24 hours and I\u2019m saying it again. The man messed things up,\u201d Smith said.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=1317\">Why Trump\u2019s 80th Birthday Bash Is So Fully Corrupt<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stephen A.
