Kyrie Irving is on the warpath.
Yesterday he called out Complex and Barstool Sports. Today, he took a shot at Stephen A. Smith.
The back-and-forth began on Tuesday morning, as Stephen A. Smith took to Twitter to throw shade at Kyrie with a video in which he mocked the All-Star guardâs decision, reminding him that he needs to actually âshow up and go to workâ this season.
âYou gotta go to work,â Stephen A. said. âYou gotta show up to work. You actually gotta show up and earn that money. We all know Kyrie Irving doesnât plan on staying in Brooklyn for the full year.â Smith also repeatedly called Irving a âpeon.â
Smith went on to accuse Kyrie of opting in only so that he can leave for another team down the road.
âGuess what Kyrie? No matter what options you may think you have down the road, it all starts with you having to show up to work first.â
Watch Stephen A. go in:

It didnât take long before Kyrie hopped on Twitter to clap back at Stephen A., writing:
âYouâre gonna have to explain yourself to people in your generation. I am not around many 50 plus year olds that speak and act like you do, so this is new for me. But I am sure my father and my uncles can meet you on your level better than I can. We know you STEPHEN.â
Kyrie deleted the tweet shortly after.
Stephen A. Smith responded swiftly. Less than one hour after Irving’s tweet, Smith posted the following:
Oh, youâve got it twisted bro! Big time! @KyrieIrving https://t.co/sVt6KqvJs8 pic.twitter.com/pgaMbltEVX

Stephen A. is really good at becoming the story he talks about.
That’s why he gets paid the big bucks…
