Sports columnist Jason Whitlock has stirred controversy by accusing sports analyst Stephen A. Smith of perpetuating alleged anti-white racism in his commentary on recent NBA performances.
Whitlock pointed out what he perceives as a double standard in Smith’s reactions to standout scoring performances by Joel Embiid and Luka Doncic. Smith praised the 76ers center for having a great performance, while in the wake of Doncic’s scoring spectacle, he slammed Hawks for playing no defense and gave no credit to the Slovenian superstar.
