Sports phone-in shows have peaked with this hilarious debate about Pixar’s Cars
Sports journalist and presenter, Stephen A Smith is known for the sports debate show First Take on ESPN and for his own Stephen A Smith Show on YouTube.
He has just gone viral after proving that his knowledge is a lot more broad than viewers realised, thanks to a caller named Danny in Wisconsin. It’s a spectacular watch.

“When you think about the G.O.A.T. of sports, you think about Mike with six, Brady with seven rings, but where do you rank a guy like Lightning McQueen with seven Piston Cups?”
“I mean when you talk about Strip Weathers and Lightning McQueen, they’re both tied with seven Piston Cups. Strip Weathers – you forgot about him?
I am not about to sit here and argue with a grownass man about the movie Cars.”
“Stephen A, Cars is as real to little kids as …”
“YOU’RE NOT A LITTLE KID. YOU’RE 21! YOU WOULD HAVE A POINT IF YOU WERE SEVEN YEARS OLD.”
Stephen’s clip has been seen more than 26 million times in a day, picking up reactions like these.

ANYWAY,
Won 7 Piston Cups in less than 10 years
Raced against MULTIPLE Legends, and DOMINATED an all car race where there were rally cars, f1 cars, and touring cars.
It took "The King" 36 years to get 7 piston cups.

The entire movie hinges on the fact that Lightning gave up 1 Piston Cup (would be his 8th) to "do the right thing" smh that's MY GOAT pic.twitter.com/8p3QlQe23U
