(Photo by Larry French/Getty Images for SiriusXM,)This Wednesday’s episode of “First Take” didn’t disappoint, as Chris Russo and Stephen A. Smith were in a heated argument about where Steph Curry ranks all-time.
Smith believes Curry is one of the 10 best players in NBA history. Russo, however, disagrees with that notion.
During their argument on “First Take,” Russo was listing players and seeing whether or not Smith would take Curry over them. It was an interesting segment up until Russo experienced an equipment mishap.
Toward the end of the debate, Russo’s headset stopped working. He made that abundantly clear for those watching at home.
“I can’t hear you. I can’t hear you. It dropped. I’m tired of this nonsense,” Russo yelled. “You can’t put him ahead of [Larry] Bird. You can’t put him ahead of Magic [Johnson]. You can’t put him ahead of the three centers [Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Wilt Chamberlain and Bill Russell]. You can’t put him ahead of [Michael] Jordan. You can’t put him ahead of LeBron [James].”
Here’s that hilarious moment from this Wednesday’s episode:
