Stephen A. Smith Responds to Josh Hart Telling Him 'to Shut the Hell Up' in 15-Minute Trending Video

After New York Knicks' guard Josh Hart told Stephen A. Smith to "shut the hell up," the ESPN personality responded with a 15-minute video.

Smith started by giving props to Hart and the role he plays for the Knicks.

"I love Josh Hart... Josh Hart is the Energizer Bunny for the Knicks. He makes them better in every way; his game, his character, his toughness. I love the guy."

He then went over his credentials, telling Hart that he knows people within the organization.

"First of all, you don't know who I know," he said. "Secondly, you don't know who talks to me. Thirdly, you don't even know how close I am to the people that cut your checks, Josh Hart. Clearly, you haven't done your homework."

The recent feud between Smith and Hart began when Smith called out Hart for defending Mikal Bridges amid what has been a down year for the veteran swing man.

Hart then responded to Smith's comments.

"For me, I think Stephen A., as a part-time Knicks fan, needs to shut the hell up," Hart said, per Steve Popper of Newsday. "He barely knows guys that are on the team."

Whether Hart will respond to Smith or try to squash the beef is to be seen.
