Bruce Levenson and the Atlanta Hawks were the focus of a CNN segment Sunday night, during which the network invited former Hawk and current NBA TV analyst Steve Smith to provide his take on the fiasco. CNN host Fredricka Whitfield appeared to get her sports talking heads named Steve confused, as a graphic showing ESPN’s resident blowhard Stephen A. Smith appeared on screen — even after The Real Steve Smith had already clarified he was, in fact, Steve Smith of the Atlanta Hawks.
It should be noted that CNN and NBA TV are both owned (or at least controlled by) Turner, which makes this mix-up just slightly more embarrassing.
