Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons’ weekend just keeps on getting better. In less than 24 hours after allegedly injuring Cowboys hater Stephen A. Smith’s ankle and hospitalizing him, Parsons bagged the MVP trophy at the Ruffles All-Star Celebrity Game. The NFL superstar dominated Team Stephen A. and dropped 37 points and 16 rebounds to lead Team Shannon to victory.
Parsons was hyped after winning the Celebrity Game MVP trophy and trashed Stephen A. Smith in his MVP acceptance speech. “Crossed him (Stephen A. Smith) up yesterday, gave it to him today. Stephen A,” Parsons said.
Stephen A. Smith injured his ankle last night while practicing on the court with Micah Parsons. He had to be rushed to the hospital following the incident. The Cowboys linebacker claimed Stephen A. injured his ankle because of a nasty crossover from him during practice. And Parsons stuck to his story during his acceptance speech.

Meanwhile, Stephen A. Smith had a different version of how he injured his ankle ahead of the All-Star Celebrity Game. The veteran analyst decided to play Micah Parsons wearing his Christian Louboutin Red Bottom sneakers after the Cowboys star trash-talked him. Smith slipped while shooting a jump shot and fell on his ankle.
Stephen A. claimed that is what injured his ankle, and he was never crossed over by Parsons. Stephen A. called Parsons a “pathological liar” and laughed at the idea of getting crossed over by a Cowboys player, “Crossed over by a Cowboy, by Micah Parsons, are you kidding?”

Michael Jordan’s present could not save Stephen A. Smith tonight
After Stephen A. Smith embarrassed himself last night by injuring his ankle during practice, Michael Jordan allegedly sent him Jordan shoes to wear for tonight’s game. The analyst wore “Bred Reimagined” Jordan 4 to the Celebrity Game to avoid another mishap.
However, Stephen A. Smith could not come out with a win despite getting reinforcement from Michael Jordan himself. Team Shannon dominated Stephen A. Smith’s team and beat them 100-91. Even though Stephen A. had more hoopers on his team on paper, they could not execute the game plan on the floor.
