76ers' Joel Embiid trolls Kenny Smith after Sabrina Ionescu issue
What was supposed to be a fun event tthat showcased one of the greatest college hoopers of all-time suddenly turned into a mess. The NBA All-Star Saturday night festivities (which featured Philadelphia 76ers star Tyrese Maxey had quite the event).
Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry and college sensation Sabrina Ionescu went head-to-head in a three-point shootout. Curry won the contest, but Ionescu kept it pretty close. There was only a four-point gap between Curry and Ionescu,
However, after the contest, Kenny Smith made a rather controversial comment. The Inside the NBA cast member commented that Ionescu should've shot from the women's three-point line instead of the NBA three-point line. It was a bizarre take especially since Ionescu was close to tying Steph at least.
For the uninitiated, the WNBA's and women's college basketball three-point line is significantly shorter than the NBA's three-point line.
The point of the event was mainly to showcase Ionescu, who shot three-pointers way behind the college three-point line regularly. Even 76ers star Joel Embiid chimed in and clowned Smith for his comments.
