Micah Parsons Takes Swipe at Stephen A. Smith After Winning MVP in NBA Celebrity All-Star Game

Micah Parsons was at his best on and off the court on Friday night. 

The Dallas Cowboys star pass rusher dominated the NBA Celebrity All-Star Game, pouring in a whopping 37 points, 16 rebounds and four steals to take home MVP honors in Team Shannon's 100—91 victory over Team Stephen A. 

Then, Parsons, during an interview with ESPN, couldn't resist taking a swipe at Stephen A. Smith. When asked what his back-and-forth with Smith was about, Parsons mentioned his recent appearance on the ESPN personality's podcast, during which Smith told him he wouldn't win MVP. 

The Cowboys star then proceeded to playfully roast Smith, whom he allegedly crossed up and sent to the hospital during an All-Star game practice, saying that he "ruined his day" with the All-Star game win. 

Parsons seemed to take great pleasure in helping Shannon Sharpe's team defeat Smith, who constantly needles the Cowboys and their fans. And it made for great entertainment for both the NBA and the NFL. 

Here's hoping for more moments like this one between Parsons and Smith.
