ESPN analyst and New York Knicks fan Stephen A. Smith is rejoicing at this news but chose to do so in a way that upset people on social media. "I'm looking forward to my Knicks, my New York Knicks, capitalizing off of the Achilles tear to Jayson Tatum," Smith said on First Take. "The Achilles tear to Damian Lillard that ultimately led to him departing from Milwaukee and going back to Portland, and the Achilles tear to Tyrese Haliburton in Indy. The New York Knicks are going to the NBA Finals." Jayson Tatum was here last week nothing but love for the brotha."
