Bob Raissman: Stephen A. Smith hurts ESPN's credibility by cheerleading for Knicks

This NOT just in: Stephen A. Smith is a true (orange and) blue Knicks fan. As long as the Knickerbockers are alive in the playoffs, the time is right for Smith to hide his press credentials and go gaga for Team Dolan. Smith said the referees should have recognized a Knicks mugging of Tyrese Maxey down the stretch of Game No. 2 and put him on the foul line. This display of objectivity was not enough to placate Sixers fans who view SAS as a member in good standing of Knicks Celebrity Row.
