Stephen A. Smith is best known for his basketball analysis, but one of the reasons that he actually knows a lot about the sport is because he is a former hooper himself. He played for Winston-Salem State University during his college years, and it is obvious that his love for the sport has remained throughout the years.
Recently, the Twitter page Random College Athletes posted a photo of Smith in his college hooper days. Dwyane Wade shared the photo, with some banter towards Stephen A.
Giving this dude 50 and icing by the 4th quarter 😂 https://t.co/yvkB45HI9W

Dwyane Wade is obviously playing around, saying that he’d drop 50 points on Smith, while effectively ending the game by the fourth quarter. It would make sense that a future Hall of Famer would have beat a regular college player, but it’s all just for fun. Stephen A. Smith himself responded:
All Hell-To-The-No! You did not come at me like that. Well, I’ve got a response Damnit! I’ve got a Response………You’re absolutely correct! I have no comeback. Damn!😀 https://t.co/QyObeYTzmM

Stephen A. Smith says he has no comeback and admits that Dwyane Wade is absolutely correct. There is no shame in admitting that a top-tier shooting guard in the all-time rankings would score 50 on you. Stephen A. Smith was certainly a capable college basketball player, as he was on a basketball scholarship during his time in college. But he’s no match for Dwyane Wade himself, and he knew that: the result was a fun interaction between two former basketball players.
