The ongoing beef between ESPN host and ‘NBA analyst’ Stephen A Smith and Oklahoma City Thunder star Kevin Durant took an odd turn today as the television personality all but threatened the former NBA MVP.
As you might recall, Stephen A. Smith suggested a week or so ago that Durant would be interested in playing for the Los Angeles Lakers. Not soon after, KD came out and said that was nothing but a lie.
Now the ESPN host is on the attack, threatening Kevin Durant and suggesting that he can ruin the OKC star on ‘First Take’ Monday morning.
“I sit here today incredibly offended by the personal attack that this man has put against me,” Smith said.
“What I would like to ask Kevin Durant and some of the brothers who talk behind my back in the NBA who probably put him up to something stupid like this … Do you really want me to come out of this seat and go back on the scene? Do you really wanna see me in an NBA arena?”
“Because I can assure you I’ll find out more in 10 minutes than I can get from 50 phone calls …. I have proven it.”
“I am a black man on national television with a big mouth and I will still stand up today here and I’ll put my resume spanning 22 years plus up against anyone in this industry.”
“We really wanna go here? We really wanna start something with ME???? You sure about that??? I just want people to think about that.”
Yikes.
