Stephen A. Smith was ready for battle in Boston on Saturday night.

I can’t wait until the day I’m a big star and I have an entourage walking with me through the hallways at the Thomas & Mack Center during summer league.

And if I ever win an ESPY I’m bringing all of #NBADraftTwitter to the stage with me. https://t.co/uLTvsDlMFM

ESPN has been hyping up Stephen A. Smith for a while now, but this might be a little too much, even for them.

Nonetheless, Stephen A and the ESPN squad got the opportunity to call a pretty good one on Saturday night. Even coming in as decent underdogs and losing Jimmy Butler mid-game, the Heat were able to take the pivotal 2-1 lead in the series.

Now, the Celtics will have pretty close to a must win game in Game 4 at TD Garden. And Stephen A. Smith will likely be sagging in for that one, as well.
