Joel Embiid, NBA Twitter react to Kenny Smith’s comments on Sabrina Ionescu: ‘He been drinking’

The one-on-one three-point contest between Stephen Curry and Sabrina Ionescu was a highlight of the All-Star weekend in Indiana. NBA fans were upset by TNT’s Kenny Smith‘s remarks. He argued with Reggie Miller, saying Ionescu didn’t shoot from the WNBA line and that it wasn’t fair she used a smaller ball.

Here’s how NBA Twitter and even Joel Embiid reacted to Smith’s comments.

Sabrina hitting the exact score that Dame won with, losing to Steph, and the immediate commentary being “welp, she should’ve shot from the women’s line 🤷‍♂️” pretty much sums up our experience if ya’ll are wondering 😂

Shouts to Kenny Smith for once again reminding me how garbage it can be to be a woman in sports.

Not like I needed a reminder, but appreciate it my dude!

Kenny smith is embarrassing himself by suggesting Sabrina should’ve shot from the women’s line. She shot just as well as the plays in the main competition.

Kenny Smith and Reggie Miller did their best to make the Stephen vs Sabrina showdown brutally awkward and ended it by arguing about playing with dolls for some reason. pic.twitter.com/ylysmUQ4y4

This commentary is cringe. “She should have shot from the women’s line.” She shot from the men’s and beat out all the other guys in the reg comp.
