Stephen A Smith Went Off Script, Sends Warning to Kyrie Irving

Stephen A. Smith has responded to a tweet from NBA baller Kyrie Irving.

“When I see my name or my brothers/sisters names getting spun through the media, I refer to all my research about who they are. Their job is to CONTROL PUBLIC PERCEPTION, all while profiting off discussing, discrediting, and disrespecting people’s lives for entertainment,” he wrote.

“I send shots at the puppet masters, not the puppets. All puppets do is run around society, trying to gain popularity and state opinions. What a life! My name is worth billions to these media corporations. My brothers and sisters who deal with this know exactly what I mean.”

Smith clapped back hard at Kyrie:

“Let me look into the audience and say this. Oh, you thought I had stuff to say before. Wait until First Take tomorrow… I’m gonna marinate on what this brother had the audacity to post on social media today… ESPN executives don’t have nothing to do with this… the whole crew, they don’t have nothing to do with this… If ever the cuffs were coming off on First Take, they are coming off tomorrow.”

No one knows how to self promote like Stephen A.

We’ll update you if Stephen A. actually followed up on his promise.
