The feud continued on social media and on “Friday Night SmackDown”, where Danhausen showed up with a giant photo of Smith’s head.
Our Reading
The game followed a familiar script: a celebrity beef, a curse, and a refusal to back down.
Danhausen’s “curse” has been a real thing in the WWE world, and now it’s affecting New York sports.
Stephen A. Smith, a huge Knicks fan, is not apologizing for anything, and Danhausen is still holding out hope for an apology.
The Knicks and Hawks are still in the NBA playoffs, and it’s anyone’s game.
This one feels recognizable early, with celebrity beefs and curses carrying over from sports to social media and back again.
Original Observation: The game is always about momentum, and when you’re on the wrong side of it, excuses start to flow.
