The report also declared that it will make less other appearances, which will give more free rein to its own podcast. There, it immerses itself even more on other issues, including a lot of politics.
Smith has been a regular in NBA programming with the network, but Atlético says that this will no longer be the case.
The 57 -year -old has also hinted at a political career. In an appearance in “The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon” on Wednesday, the sports journalist initially said that “he does not want” the position, but then made a comment that seemed to hint the possibility of a presidential streak.

“And I say: ‘Wait a minute now. I don’t want to do this.’ But the fact that they are talking about me in this way, I must say that I approve this message,” he said.
The comment of “I approve this message” clearly did not receive Fallon, who exclaimed: “Oh my God!” In response.
Smith criticized former President Joe Biden, but expressed his support for former Vice President Kamala Harris during the electoral cycle. A critic of President Donald Trump has regularly criticized the Democratic Party and his messages before the elections, as well as after Trump won.
The annual salary of approximately $ 20 million is a large increase for Smith, which had been winning $ 12 million per year, according to Atlético.
