ESPN's First Take discussed the possibility of traveling to Milwaukee for the NBA Finals, dissing the city in the process. 

Former NFL player Damien Woody asked talking head Stephen A. Smith if he really wanted to travel to Milwaukee and Smith responded with a "hell no." 

Host Molly Qerim Rose was happy that the program will likely forgo traveling to a site for the NBA Finals this year because "it's going to be terrible cities." The remaining cities in the playoffs are Milwaukee, Atlanta, Phoenix, and Los Angeles. 

Max Kellerman tried to clean up Rose's statements: "Terrible cities? Molly didn't mean that."

"I don't believe I've ever rooted for the Atlanta Hawks and the Los Angeles Clippers more in my life," said Smith, making it known he prefers to travel to Atlanta or Los Angeles as opposed to the Brew City.
