Smith, you might want to avoid “NBA Live 18.” That’s because the upcoming game’s career mode will feature actual segments from “First Take,” ESPN’s polarizing talk show co-hosted by Smith and Max Kellerman, according to For The Win. Now, before you freak out and cancel your “NBA Live” pre-order, you might want to watch the following clip.
