Stephen A. Smith is a New York Times Bestselling Author, Executive Producer, host of ESPN's First Take, and co-host of NBA Countdown.  He also talks about the contract extension of New York Knicks’ Jalen Brunson, which leaves an unprecedented' $113M on the table in his contract extension, and the Wimbledon Doubles Championship win by Taylor Townsend and Katerina Siniakova.  Before Sunday, Townsend had reached two other doubles Slam finals, at the 2022 US Open and the 2023 French Open, losing at both. While most players will have their national associations to thank for such success at the top level, Townsend's story is quite the opposite.
