Smith put the blame squarely on the shoulders of Madison Square Garden chairman and Knicks liaison Jim Dolan. "The priority clearly is about making money. It's not about winning," Smith opined, before adding, "He's almost addicted to losing; he can't get out of its way."
Smith's rant only intensifies from there. Watch it up top, as well as Skip Bayless give a rebuttal.

Chelsea Handler stirred up a hornet's nest on Twitter after making several jokes during Sunday night's Oscars aimed at black actors.
Handler, who took over the Huffington Post Twitter feed for the event, got the ball rolling with a tweet aimed at Oscar-winner Lupita Nyong'o, writing, "#AngelinaJolie just filed adoption papers #lupitanyongo #Oscars.”
She also joked on Sidney Poitier, tweeting, "#NelsonMandela looks great #abc #resurrection."

Valeria Lukyanova, the Ukranian model who is obsessed with becoming the human embodiment of Barbie, has revealed that she is training herself to survive without food.
Lukyanova plans to practice Breatharianism, a way of life in which followers ostensibly subsist on air and sunlight only.
"In recent weeks I have not been hungry at all; I’m hoping it’s the final stage before I can subsist on air and light alone," Ms Lukyanova told the International Business Times.
Breatharianism has been hotly criticized for the starvation deaths of people who allegedly adopted it -- people who honestly believed it's possible to survive on air and sunlight alone.
Lukyanova, who believes she is from outer space and can communicate with aliens through light, also believes she has the ability to time travel.

In this throwback clip from 92.3 The Beat's DJ Julio G, Q-Tip discusses moving from Jive Records to Arista Records. Although A Tribe Called Quest released their seminal "The Low End Theory" under Jive, Q-Tip feels the label is "wack," and "they suck."
The Queens rapper goes on to detail the big difference being under Arista Records. "We with Clive Davis, and Clive's whole aesthetic is, he looks at it like he's an artist, which is cool, and he's in the business of promoting the star and making the star's quality shine."

In the above clip, a CNN reporter checks out one of the kingpin's many safehouses. Surprisingly, the home is rather spartan; however, this was all part of El Chapo's strategy of keeping a low profile.
