Snapchat’s new baby filter feature is a godsend, if only because in the past few days, it has produced some of the best internet content we’ve ever seen: ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith rants as a baby.

The Phil Jackson era as head of the New York Knicks was a spectacular failure, and Smith recalled Jackson’s first move in 2014 was to sign Lamar Odom, who soon found himself out of the league after battling a cocaine addiction:

Everything really is better with the baby filter added — especially Stephen A. Smith rants. Even he’s on to it, posting this video on Friday on how much he’s enjoying the social media flurry.

Please give us more, Stephen A. The internet needs it.
