Qerim’s mockery of Stephen A.’s orange jacket prompted the hilarious exchange.

Molly laughed at her First Take co-star for wearing a “fall orange” jacket over a blue shirt and a bright orange tie on Sunday’s NBA Countdown.

Smith explained he picked the outfit to show support for his beloved New York Knicks, whose team colors are orange and blue.

New York ended up taking a 3-1 lead in the playoff series against the Cleveland Cavaliers that day.

“I was representing the Knicks,” Stephen A. said.

“I did what needed to do — and it worked.”

As he batted away the jabs, Stephen A. finally told Qerim: “I know you ain’t talking with some of those outfits you wear!”

The sportscaster then started listing the many different attires Molly has shown off on First Take — and which he mocked, including a Little Red Riding Hood look.

“Let me just say one thing,” Molly responded before pointing at Stephen A.

“If I had his salary, game over. Game over,” she said.

“I’m working with like a one-percent budget.”

The back-and-forth had guests Kendrick Perkins and Monica McNutt in tears.

And it carried on for a few more minutes as Qerim kept mocking Smith’s orange jacket — with help of First Take producers, who prompted an image of the ESPN star’s outfit back on the screen.

“Fall orange, not spring,” Molly said. “Fall orange. Wrong season, buddy.

“And then your tie looks summer. You’re all over the place.

Qerim got her revenge after Stephen A. made fun of her for wearing a “two-tone” purple jacket in one of last week’s episodes.
