In a recent segment on his show, Smith expressed his concerns about Westbrook’s on-court behavior and stated that he had received information from sources close to the situation that Westbrook was being difficult to work with and causing tension within the team. This led to an uproar from fans and critics alike, with many accusing Smith of “snitching” on Westbrook and betraying a fellow athlete.

Gillie Da King and Stephen Jackson, both former athletes themselves, were quick to voice their disapproval of Smith’s comments, claiming that it was not his place to divulge private information about another player. Jackson even went so far as to call Smith a “fake friend” for his actions.

However, Smith did not take the criticism lying down. In a fiery response on social media, he defended his right to report on information that he had received and stated that his job as a journalist was to provide accurate and honest analysis, regardless of who it may upset. He reiterated that he had no ill intentions towards Westbrook and was simply doing his job.

The feud between Smith, Gillie, and Jackson has ignited a debate within the sports community about the ethics of reporting on sensitive information and the responsibility that comes with being a public figure in the media. As the drama continues to unfold, one thing is for certain – this story is far from over. Stay tuned for more updates as the situation develops.
