Stephen A. Smith was supposed to be discussing Dwyane Wade coming off the bench instead of JR Smith, when he went left and started ranting:
“In Game 1, when they played against Boston, J.R. Smith was sitting on that bench in the fourth quarter with a hoodie on. I don’t why the hell Nike made these damn uniforms that have hoods attached to it, by the way. You got a lot of those white folks in the audience thinking this is going to be Trayvon Martin being revisited. And I’m not joking about it. The bench is no place for somebody to be wearing hoodies.”
Here is what was said when Stephen A. Smith when he tried to convince us that Swish wearing a hoodie on the bench would make white people uncomfortable. The worst part about it is that he tried to make compare JR to Trayvon Martin. The teenager who was shot in cold blood for wearing a hoodie in Florida. Bad comparison!

If you recall, we previously reported on Trayvon Martin, who was innocently wearing a hoodie when he was killed by George Zimmerman in 2012. The wrongful shooting ignited racial tension and discussion about whether wearing a hoodie in the wrong place can get you killed.
