As a long-time supporter and fan of the New York Knicks, I am deeply frustrated by Stephen A Smith's constant negative portrayal of our beloved franchise in the national media. Despite the Knicks showing significant improvement and emerging as true contenders in the East, Smith continues to slander our team with uneducated takes and baseless criticisms. His recent admission that he did not vote for Jalen Brunson as an All-Star starter is just one example of his biased views.

Smith's relentless negativity not only disrespects our team but also casts a dark shadow over our achievements. The Knicks are currently experiencing their best season in decades, yet his lackluster analysis fails to acknowledge this progress. Instead, he focuses on irrelevant issues like Donovan Mitchell's performance or other teams' successes.

James Dolan, we urge you to ban Stephen A Smith from Madison Square Garden until he can provide fair and balanced commentary on all teams - including ours. This action will send a strong message that biased reporting has no place in professional sports journalism.

We deserve better than this constant negativity. We deserve respect for our team's hard work and dedication on and off the court. Please sign this petition to support banning Stephen A Smith from Madison Square Garden until he can learn to appreciate all aspects of basketball - not just those that fit his narrative.
