Stephen A. Smith wants you to know he did not storm the court during Embiid-Bledsoe beef

Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo may have locked up the MVP award with a stellar 45-point performance on Thursday, and the Bucks clinched the best record in the NBA with a road win over the Sixers despite losing guard Eric Bledsoe early in the first quarter.

Bledsoe was ejected just minutes into the game after firing a ball at Sixers star Joel Embiid following a light shoving match. Embiid received a technical foul for his role in the confrontation, but went on to post a triple-double in the loss.

Some fans watching the game tweeted that ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith ran on the court to try and breakup the chaos. Smith was at the game, and you can see a slight lookalike running into the frame at the 11-second mark in the above video.

Smith addressed the clip on Friday and told fans to get their eyes checked.
