ESPN personality Stephen A. Smith has gotten more and more involved in politics in recent years and is not afraid to speak his mind when it comes to national issues.
That trend continued Thursday morning as he discussed NBA star Terry Rozier and Portland Trail Blazers head coach Chauncey Billups being arrested as a part of a major FBI gambling investigation.

Sometimes people think they’re more important than they are.
Trump is busy dealing with ending wars, managing the economy and getting legislation to reopen the government.
He’s likely not prioritizing the NBA.
I guess this means he is running as a Democrat, and a Democrat of the Al Sharpton variety. How utterly pathetic.
This was a years long investigation. Why must people blame or give credit to Trump for everything?
Ya, going after criminals is a real negative?
Did Smith even READ the indictment spelling out the literally insane things Chauncey did to help the criminal syndicate carry out this massive, elaborate scheme? This wasn’t jaywalking.
Stephen A. Smith doesn’t impress me. At all.
Yup can’t have important people like NBA players jailed for rigging bets.
Why isn’t Trump off arresting real criminals, like abortion protestors? /sarc
If this guy works in sports media, he ought to be more concerned about whether the allegations are true.
No surprise that the Trump administration believes in law enforcement and is going after criminals.
Professional sports, college sports and sports media are all taking in billions of dollars on sports betting. There are over $100 billion in bets made each year, which opens the door for corruption. The FBI should be concerned with bribery and rigging in sports. Smith just doesn’t want Trump to kill the golden goose.
“””This was a years long investigation. Why must people blame or give credit to Trump for everything?”””
Because ORANGE MAN BAD.
NBA is part of the Antifa funding going on in Portland.
I suspect they are using gambling $$$ to fund it.
In previous years, these people (and the NBA) may have had (or been able to purchase) political protection to keep their racket under-wraps.
No doubt some race-baiting neo-marxist in the corrupt Holder-Obama DOJ would have asked: "is it a good political look among our base for us to be prosecuting black guys and basketball?"
Everything that happens in this world is Trump’s fault according to the left, despite the fact that those caught up in troubles like this, got there all on their own. These people never take responsibility for their actions.
[Stephen A. Smith believes Trump is behind FBI’s NBA gambling probe:
‘IT’S VERY CONCERNING’]
🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
WHAT DO YOU KNOW Stephen A. Smith,
AND WHEN DID YOU KNOW IT?
Smith is an irrelevent attention whore.
What is concerning? The probability of the NBA gambling or fixing games? Or the fact they are being investigaged?
