Stephen A. Smith on Matthew Dellavedova: "He was exposed for the talent he is"

Stephen A. Smith has had a big presence in ESPN’s postgame coverage of these NBA Finals. After last night’s game, where Matthew Dellavedova was perhaps still feeling the after-effects of his dehydration in Game 3, Smith asserted that the Aussie came back down to Earth, and has been exposed. Time shall tell, I suppose.

As an aside, does anyone know why Jalen Rose and Doug Collins are virtually nonexistent in ESPN’s post-game coverage? Sage Steele has been doing some interviews, but the studio show that ran all year has virtually no presence on SportsCenter. Not making a value judgment one way or another, but it’s odd that ESPN has veered away from its core NBA specialists during the biggest time of the year.
