Stephen A. Smiths motor mouth placed him in the eye of controversy Thursday, but the ESPN yakker denied dropping the N-word while discussing Kobe Bryant on First Take.
On the show, Smith sarcastically pooh-poohed the idea that Bryant would miss the Lakers opener because of a foot injury.
Listening to a replay of SAS commentary provides evidence that he voiced the slur.
Opening night, Kobe Bryant is going to miss it because my foot is sprained? Are you crazy? (N-word) please, Smith said.

So ridiculous. That is a common phrase used in jest.
I notice among the youth, many of them post “nigga” this and “nigga” that in their comments on Facebook.
It doesn’t even have racist meanings any more. They say it without a second thought, and none of their black friends act offended in the least.
Seems the rap singers promote it: (note offensive lyrics)

I don’t know who this guy is but I guess he read’s too many internet memes cause the ‘n***er please’ one is quite popular, but of course for lefties always on the lookout to be outraged its a shock...oh the huge manity!
Just google image search the term and you’ll see what I mean, don’t want to get FR in trouble so not going to post them here.
WTG, Stephen...can we FINALLY dispense with the so-called “N-word” nonsense once and for all? they say it all the time, but claim it is a deeply hateful, racist word when The Man says it. Enough.
You're not supposed to confuse the issue with the facts - don't you know? It'll take all the fun out of race-baiting and the media sympathy that comes with it.
Wait, he’s black and it’s not ok for him to say that? He must be a republican then.
This isn’t exactly “Ebony and Ivory” (on YouTube) Bandz A Make Her Dance (Explicit)
SA Smith is black...so nothing will happen to him
If it was a White guy...ESPN would have fired him by now
ESPN, and most of sports media...are left wing liberal like the news and entertainment divisions. ESPN probably the worst
With Black Racists/White Guilt Liberals....blacks can use “ni@@a” but not whites
At least he didn’t say ‘shuck and jive’......
My daughter gets offended if I use the n-word, so I told her I would stop using it the very second rappers stop using it in their music......still waiting....
I would not recommend you trying it, though.
True.
There’s more clapping in that music video than a Florida Marlins’ home game.
^ Miami (d’oh!)
S.A. smith is now an Uncle Tom if he tries to defend himself..watch how it plays out....
