Mark Titus of Barstool Sports recently spoke about the media coverage around the NBA Finals. He singled out how much Stephen A. Smith has been featured, and apparently, he isn’t a fan.

Titus had some harsh words for Smith, citing that ESPN is using him way too much during their coverage of the Finals.

“I would have zero problem with anything Stephen A. Smith is saying or doing if he wasn’t on NBA Finals broadcasts,” Titus said. “The fact that ESPN has appointed him to be one of the voices you hear when you tune into the NBA Finals, that’s the only problem I have.

“You’re allowed to talk s–t. If you try to avoid the Stephen A. bulls–t, and you’re like, ‘You know what I want to do? I love basketball so I want to watch the two best basketball teams compete for the highest honor in professional basketball.’

“If you choose to do that, you’re going to get Stephen A. in your face. And you’re just like, ‘God damn, this guy’s awful.’ I almost forget it because I don’t watch all the other s–t he does.”

Stephen A. Smith can’t seem to catch a break recently. First, he was criticized for playing Solitaire while at an NBA Finals game. Now, Mark Titus is calling him out for being used too much.

Sorry to Titus, but once the Finals are over, Smith will still appear every day in the media. He is ESPN’s top analyst and that won’t change for a long time.
