Stephen A. Smith offers a lame response after getting dissed by Josh Hart

Stephen A. Smith is pulling the “Do you know who I am?” card in response to Josh Hart.

The ESPN personality Smith was on the receiving end of some brutal shade this week by the New York Knicks swingman Hart. In response to Smith’s latest harsh comments about the Knicks, Hart ripped Smith for being a “part-time Knicks fan” and told Smith to “shut the hell up” (see his full remarks here).

On Friday, it was Smith’s turn to fire back at Hart … with an incredibly lame response. Speaking during the latest episode of his self-titled podcast, Smith went on a nearly four-minute rant listing off his credentials and his history as a Knicks fan. Smith then eventually warned Hart that he is close with the people who sign Hart’s paychecks.

“First of all, you don’t who I know,” said Smith. “Secondly, you don’t know who talks to me. Thirdly, you don’t even know how close I am to the people that cut your checks. Josh Hart, clearly you haven’t done your homework.”

Here is the full video of Smith’s rant.
