Reggie Miller calls out Kenny Smith over Sabrina Ionescu comments: You want her just playing with dolls – The Daily Guardian
In a heated moment during NBA All-Star Saturday Night, commentators Reggie Miller and Kenny Smith clashed over the one-on-one 3-point shooting competition between Stephen Curry and Sabrina Ionescu. The tension arose when Smith suggested Ionescu should have been shooting from the WNBA 3-point line instead of the NBA line where Curry dominated.
Curry ultimately emerged victorious with a score of 29-26 against Ionescu, both shooting from the NBA 3-point line. Miller argued that shooters should not be confined by boundaries, while Smith defended his position, stating he wanted Ionescu to stick to her usual shooting range.
The exchange between the two commentators sparked criticism on social media, with NBA star Joel Embiid even questioning if Smith had been drinking. Despite the controversy, Curry proved his prowess by besting Ionescu in the competition.
The clash between Miller and Smith added an extra layer of drama to the already intense competition, showing that even off the court, tensions can run high among commentators. As the NBA All-Star Weekend came to a close, Curry’s victory further solidified his status as one of the league’s premier shooters.
