Stephen A Smith stunned by Snoop Dogg’s bold claim live on First Take before music legend is forced to clarify comments
SNOOP Dogg shocked Stephen A Smith with who he believes is the best point guard in NBA history.
The legendary rapper revealed he believes Stephen Curry is the greatest point guard ever because he revolutionized basketball, and Stephen A was stunned.
Snoop joined Smith on Tuesday's Editon of First Take when asked if Curry is the most "Mamba-like" player in the NBA.
Snoop answered: "[Steph Curry] may be the greatest point guard of all time. And Magic Johnson is my guy."
Stephen A quickly fired back at him and mocked Snoop Dogg since he's a well-known Los Angeles Lakers fan and asked for clarification.
"Snoop Dogg, a lifelong Lakers fan and personal friend of Magic Johnson, you just said on national tv Steph Curry might be the best PG ever?" Stephen A noted.

Snoop underlined he is a close friend of Magic Johnson but expressed he believes Curry's impact on the game was much more significant.
"I watched Magic as a kid. The flamboyant passes, running the show, making everything go," Snoop said.
"But what I watched Steph Curry do. I watched him change the whole basketball playing, like how people play it."
"They don't go under the basket to shoot layups no more. They go under the basket to throw it out to three."

Stephen A also mentioned in a different segment with Molly Qerim, former NBA legend JJ Rediick and former NFL player Marcus Spears that LeBron James fears Curry.
"I suspect it's a healthy level of fear."
"Who ain't scared to death of Steph? ... Steph Curry has been a walking nightmare for LeBron James. LeBron knows what's coming."
The conversation comes off the heels of Curry's legendary performance in game 7 in the Warrior's first-round match-up against the Sacramento Kings.
Curry was unbelievable in that game, and many believe it helped solidify his case for best PG ever.
He scored 50 points and set an NBA record for most points ever in a Game 7.
Curry has had a well-decorated career since being drafted in the first round from Davidson College. He's a four-time NBA Champion and finals MVP.
Curry also won back-to-back MVP awards in 2015 and 2016.
