On Monday December 31st, David Blatt talked about Luka Doncic during the Calcalist’s Forecast 2019 conference in Tel Aviv. He once again stressed that the 19-year-old Dallas Mavericks player will be named NBA 2019 Rookie of the Year, but this time added that Stephen A. Smith is clueless at basketball.
“I told everyone he was the best player in the Draft. Stephen A. Smith is clueless at basketball” Olympiacos’ head coach mentioned referring to Smith’s comments, which favored Deandre Ayton for the Rookie of the Year honors.
As one could have anticipated, the TV sports personality couldn’t leave the above unanswered. “Well Congrats coach Blatt. You really stepped out there with that take. So I’m “clueless” because I believed the Phoenix Suns should take a 7’1” talent from right up the road for a 19-year-old talent I acknowledged having never seen? Okay! I’ll take the jab. But with a question: Are you willing to call your friends with the Kings clueless for taking Bagley at No. 2 instead of Doncic? Good to hear from you sir!” he wrote on Twitter.
