ESPN star Stephen A. Smith has long been one of the New York Knicks\u2019<\/a> loudest critics, but the New York City native struck a different tone this week.<\/p>\n

Days after the Knicks won their first NBA title in more than five decades, the longtime “First Take” host joined Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart for a live taping of their “Roommates Show”<\/a> podcast. The event was livestreamed from inside the Infosys Theater at Madison Square Garden on Friday, one day after the Knicks\u2019 long-awaited ticker-tape championship parade.<\/p>\n

Smith appeared to face boos shortly after he was welcomed to the stage. The noise grew louder when Hart said he had kept mental receipts of Smith\u2019s past Knicks criticism.<\/p>\n

One of Hart\u2019s notes centered on Smith\u2019s claim that Villanova\u2019s 2016 national championship roster lacked NBA-caliber prospects. Hart, Brunson and Mikal Bridges later became NBA draft picks and helped fuel the Knicks\u2019 title run. Brunson signed with New York in 2022, a move Smith quickly dismissed by declaring the guard “isn\u2019t the answer”<\/a> for the Knicks.<\/p>\n

After revisiting Smith\u2019s past comments, Hart pointed to the championship trophy beside him and pressed the 58-year-old to acknowledge his remarks. “We are now sitting here with this golden trophy there to your right. Can you sit here and admit you were wrong?”<\/p>\n

Smith did not push back. Instead, he offered an apology<\/a> to Brunson, Hart and the Knicks organization.<\/p>\n

“I was beyond wrong. I’m apologizing to this brother on national television; I’m apologizing to you; I’m apologizing to the entire Knicks organization. Let me be very, very clear \u2014 I have never been more happy to be wrong in my life. Let me be very, very clear \u2014 I came out of the womb a Knicks fan. I’m 58 years old. The last time the New York Knicks won a title before last Saturday, I was 4.”<\/p>\n

However, Smith suggested his apology came with a caveat: If years of criticism helped end the Knicks\u2019 championship drought, he would gladly do it again.<\/p>\n

“So, I apologize for being wrong,” Smith continued. “But let me be very clear: if it means another championship, I would do it again.”<\/p>\n

Karl-Anthony Towns<\/a>, Miles McBride and former Knicks star Carmelo Anthony also appeared on the podcast episode.<\/p>\n
