Stephen A. Smith doubted the Suns and Bucks. (Quinn Harris-USA TODAY Sports) 3 Fighters We Believe ONE Championship Must Now Sign From Maria Morales ESPN’s First Take addressed Milwaukee and Phoenix while discussing potential NBA Finals matches. Now Stephen A. Smith needs to eat some crow. The folks at ESPN’s First Take don’t have much respect for the cities of Milwaukee and Phoenix. The joke is aimed at Stephen A. Smith and his company as the Bucks and Suns are now in the NBA finals, like them or not. Smith in particular has something to eat after claiming that none of those teams could get past the Conference Finals of their respective series, ”Smith said before the Bucks and Suns did just that. “I don’t think I’ll ever be more rooted to the Atlanta Hawks and Los Angeles Clippers in my life.” Smith didn’t want to travel to Phoenix or Milwaukee. He’ll have to swallow it and act. The Bucks and Suns proved the opposite to Stephen A. Smith by making it to the NBA finals. They got into trouble after losing Game 1 at home, but they recovered and won four of the next five, including two games at the Atlanta home stadium. The Suns handled the Los Angeles deal in the Western Conference Finals. The Kawhi Leonard-less Clippers kept it interesting with wins in Game 3 and Game 5. However, Chris Paul and Co. closed the series at six to crack their ticket to the NBA finals. Both Phoenix and Milwaukee have proven that Smith was very wrong. Next, one of them must achieve ultimate victory. The Suns are the odds-makers’ favorites while the Bucks are still waiting to find out if they have Antetokounmpo available.
