Power Rankings: Top 5 Stephen A. Smith Rants
This was tough. A lot of great rants over the years. The man is one of , if not, the most entertaining personalities in the history of sports. Definitely left some good ones out. Here are the top 5.
5: Steven A. Puts Skip in a Stretcher
Every time you turn on ESPN, LeBron is on it. Usually an absolute snooze fest of repeated material. This one was different.
“There’s plenty of people that I would like to take the last shot, but I don’t go on a 5-10 minute soliloquy CoMPariNg hIM tO MIChaEl JoRDan”
Gold.
Start at 3:30
4: Tony Romo Rant
This video is 6:24 long and he talks for at least 6:20 of it. The built-up hatred he has for the Cowboys and Tony Romo from working years along Skip Bayless all comes out here and its absolutely beautiful.
3: “ARE YOU ON DRUGS?”
Fast-forward to 1:03 for the important part.
Skip basically says that Rodgers should donate his $8.5 Million-dollar salary to charity due to a tweet a year prior supporting Ryan Braun. Steven A the proceeds to put him in a body bag. This was prime First Take.
2: Lamar Odom on Crack
Growing up a Knicks fan and being subject to the yearly torture that comes along with growing up a Knicks fan may make me a bit biased. With that being said, I believe this is one of the greatest rants of all time. No question. His passion for hating Phil Jackson during his time resonated with the entire fanbase. Iconic.
1: Stay Off The Weed
There was really no competition. These are just the best.
Special thanks to Josh Gordon for accounting for 75% of them.
