well i was on espn's website and decided to email Stephen Smith this is what i said: I suggest you call Charlie Villaneuva and apologize for everything. Just check out CV's stats right now and check out his reply lol "Means nothing to me. Still too early. Plus, I never said Villanueva couldn't play. I said: Toronto should not have drafted him because it's the third-straight PF they grabbed in the draft. Who the hell are they: The Detroit Lions of the NBA!!! Plus, Babcock didn't want Villanueva; he wanted Antoine Wright, who the Nets grabbed at No. 15. Have a nice life."
i guess he thought that you were attacking him personaly and i think he got ofended. but he has a point it is to early for him to say anything hes right about the fact that the pick didn't make sence from the fact that they have drafted three straight pfs in recent drafts only when the raps display a line up that will feature them then should he apologize.
We all knew he was an ass...I never had any respect for him, so it's pretty impossible for me to lose any.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Bobcats:</div><div class="quote_post">If he wanted Wright, why would he have drafted Villanueva?</div> Because stephen is an asshat, and has no idea what he's talking about.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting eyes only:</div><div class="quote_post">i guess he thought that you were attacking him personaly and i think he got ofended.</div> I would agree with you if he didn't always seem to treat people that way when he is on his show or ESPNEWS. He is constantly getting worked up and basically calls people out when they are making good points against him. He was wrong and instead of admitting it he has to come back with some sarcastic reply that leaves you thinking, "Wow, what a jerk." <div class="quote_poster">Quoting Bobcats:</div><div class="quote_post">If he wanted Wright, why would he have drafted Villanueva?</div> Exactly. This makes no sense and it is just Stephen A. Smith running his mouth. If Babock wanted Wright so bad, he would have selected him instead of Villanueva with the seventh pick. I'm sick of Stephen A. Smith and his obnoxious attitude if you can't tell already.
Wait, are you surprised that Screamin' A. Smith is just as big a jackass in person as he is on t.v? I really hate that guy EDIT: what's his email? I'd like to have a chat, too

Steven A Smith said during nba shoot around that the Raptors took Villanueva because the coach and owner wanted him Babcock wanted Wright however, the organization would not let him pull the trigger on drafting Wright. According to Steven A Smith of course.

If the news that Babcock wanted Antoine Wright is true, then I have even less faith in him as a GM. Wright would've been a much worse pick than Villanueva. He should've acknowledged that his criticism of Villanueva at the draft was unjustified. However, he does have a point: a lot of his criticism was at the fact that they drafted a player that really won't be able to find a starting spot anytime soon.
Man .. I wish I can run into SAS sometime by midnight somewhere around region park (near where I lived). Sigh .... too bad it'd never happen.
While he is an idiot, he is right, no one criticized Charlie's talent or skill level. His criticisim came from work ethic, but that wasn't as big, the main thing was the Raptors drafting a 4 who was not heads over heels above the players at his position when they already had a budding All-Star at the 4. About Wright, I don't know about that, but I would've ended my time as a Raptors fan. He was the guy I hated the most out of all the first round picks, I had no faith in the guy and he hasn't proved me wrong yet.
i think wright's a tremendous athelete..i just wish that he could get more minutes from the Nets--he cant really showcase his talent yet while being behind carter and RJ he was my third faviourate to be picked at 16 (after Granger and Graham)
steve a smith sucks and is an idiot, he thinks that being arrogant makes him smart. He has been so arrogant and so wrong so many times like when he said the pistons had no shot in beating the lakers and called his co-workers idiots for even suggesting the next year this past year falling in love w/ the pistons to make up for his horrible comments. Lastly, araujo isn't a pf so his comment was inaccurate anyway.
hahaha, thats too funny...but ye steven is right, way too early into the season. man, you should email him back and tell him he's a bag of douche
