    ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith Looks Directly Into Camera, Sends Stern Warning to NBA Superstar Kevin Durant

    There’s some behind-the-scenes drama unfolding in the sports world involving NBA superstar Kevin Durant and ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith. On Monday, the ESPN personality sternly warned Durant, “You do not want to make an enemy out of me.”

    The drama started to take shape after Durant refuted Smith’s claim that the Oklahoma City Thunder star would consider joining Los Angeles Lakers when he becomes a free agent next summer. He didn’t just deny it, he said Smith was “lying.”

    Smith addressed Durant’s comments on “First Take” Monday, making it clear he’s not backing down on the issue.

    “I’m looking right into the camera and I’ll say it again: You do not want to make an enemy out of me,” Smith said. “I’m not having it. I’ve done nothing wrong and I’m not going to tolerate it.”

    You know ever since Aldridge left, I don't mind Durant so much. Used to hate that guy.

    Durant is a douche. Stephan a is right on this one. He literally did nothing wrong, and Durant is a passive aggressive bitch. Reminds me of lma

    Smith is a hack of the weakest order.

    Never had an inside scoop, just throws crap against the wall and sees if it sticks.

    I doubt LA is high on any player's list anymore, despite the location.

    They are the worst managed team in the league.

    I don't know the story that led up to this. Does anybody have a link to an article or an explanation?

    I am sure Durant could care less. Steven A is just a hack with very little power.

    That...that is so good...it makes me forget about my hero Sheed.

    Can this guy play? He is certainly better than Montero. Let's find a place for him.

    INTIMIDATION FACTOR! RAWR!

    Get over yourself, Steven A Smith. No one actually cares about you at ESPN. You're just a mouthpiece and a butt in a seat that'll be replaced as soon as you become more irrelevant than you already are. You are a company brainwasher that adds nothing to the society of sports.

    Stephen A Smith has always annoyed the hell out of me, but a couple of his "rants" that I've seen lately (including the one above - thanks Fizzle!) are starting to change my opinion of him.

    +> Steven A is a blow hole. He's a cheap imitation run down Spike Lee. He and his entourage should buy a Dunkin Donuts franchise if they want action. He's as newsworthy as breaking news on Bravo network.

    Stephen A. is a shit-stirrer, and he's very good at it. This thread and many others are proof of that. That being said, I personally have no interest in shit-stirrers.

    You sure that what he really said wasn't, "You don't want to make an enema out of me"?

    Why take Durant sersiously? He appears to be not too bright.
