Dwyane Wade teases Stephen A. Smith after old college basketball photo surfaces

Originally posted on Fadeaway World | By Lee Tran | Last updated 2/25/21

Stephen A. Smith is best known for his basketball analysis, but one of the reasons he actually knows a lot about the sport is because he is a former hooper himself. He played for Winston-Salem State University during his college years, and it is obvious that his love for the sport has remained through the years.

Recently, the Twitter page Random College Athletes posted a photo of Smith in his college basketball days and it did not take long for Dwyane Wade to share the photo, with some banter directed towards Stephen A.

Giving this dude 50 and icing by the 4th quarter https://t.co/yvkB45HI9W

Dwyane Wade is obviously playing around, saying that he’d drop 50 points on Smith, while effectively ending the game by the fourth quarter. It would make sense that a future Hall of Famer would have beat a regular college player, but it’s all just for fun. Stephen A. Smith himself responded:

All Hell-To-The-No! You did not come at me like that. Well, I’ve got a response Damnit! I’ve got a Response………You’re absolutely correct! I have no comeback. Damn! https://t.co/QyObeYTzmM

There is no shame in admitting that a top-tier shooting guard in the all-time rankings would score 50 on you. Stephen A. Smith was certainly a capable college basketball player, as he was on a basketball scholarship during his time in college. But he’s no match for Dwyane Wade himself, and he knew that: the result was a fun interaction between two former basketball players.
