Kevin Durant Takes a Shot at Stephen A. Smith After He Was Owned on Live TV

Stephen A. Smith is taking another L.

Stephen A. Smith was under fire for questioning Russell Westbrook’s appearance at new Lakers coach Darvin Ham’s introductory press conference on Monday. As we all know by now, Stephen A. Smith had Max Kellerman pulled off the show in favor of a rotating panel of guests. That includes Chris “Mad Dog” Russo and JJ Redick.

Reddick and guest CJ McCollum went in on SAS over his comments.

“Him being at that press conference yesterday — actually to me — I didn’t like it,” Smith said.

“You said a random, random take, and then you explained a bunch of things about Russell Westbrook that had nothing about that take,” Redick responded. “What is your issue with Russell Westbrook being at that press conference?”

“That’s a wild thing for you to say,” McCollum added. “Him supporting his team, his organization, his coach, a fellow African American man that gets hired by the Los Angeles Lakers? This is what you said! … You said that him going to the press conference, you’re disappointed in that? Run the tape. We got the tape. That’s what you said. … Even if you didn’t mean it the way I said it, you said that he shouldn’t have been at that press conference, that’s foul.”

KD piled on following the death blow of Smith.

“Steve can’t beat up on max Kellerman the boxing guy and the new baseball guy “mad dog” or whatever his name is?” Durant tweeted on Tuesday night. “I’m locked in now.”
