Sure, but I'm of the opinion the act is the person for Stephen A Smith. I don't like his act at all.
Funnymaine, his meltdown on Twitter showed a side that I didn't care for. Truth be told, his act was a but long in the tooth after the 3rd or 4th game.
Stephen A Smith has probably ~20 years of act under his belt. I'm still of the opinion eventually the act becomes the person. His act prevents me from wanting to know more.
Generally speaking, I fall into the "never judge a book by its cover" bucket, but there are exceptions. Let's face it, it would take years of interactions with either of these two to really understand if the act is the person, which ain't happening. So I go based on what I see...neither I care for.
