Hello and welcome to first take everyone. It is Tuesday. I'm Shay Cornett, Stephen A. Smith.

Kendrick Perkins are here with us and maybe you notice there is an empty chair here. It is Tuesday. I'm Shea Cornett, Stephen A. Smith. Kendrick Perkins are here with us.

And maybe you notice there is an empty chair here. So, Stephen A, we thought maybe you could use a little bit of backup. You know, he's been rooting for those Knicks. He's been angry at the Knicks. People have been laughing at him a little bit. So we thought we'd bring in a special contributor to the show. You've seen him on 7 p.m. in Brooklyn with Carmelo Anthony.

Hold on.
