Stephen A. Smith Responds To Kevin Durant Calling Him A 'Clown'

Kevin Durant isn't very fond of Stephen A. Smith, who has a history of criticizing the future hall of famer's play and leadership skills.

Durant let his feelings be known about Smith in an interview with The Athletic, and it's clear that he's fed up with him.

"Yeah, Stephen A., I don’t understand how people even listen to Stephen A.," said Durant. "I’ve been in the league for 18 years. I’ve never seen Stephen A. at a practice, or a film session, or a shoot-around. I’ve never seen him anywhere but on TV talking sh*t about players … He’s a clown to me. He’s always been a clown. You can write that, too."

Smith—who once threatened Durant—responded and referenced Ice Cube's "No Vaseline," the song in which Cube attacks his former group, N.W.A.

As the great @icecube said in “No Vaseline, @KDTrey5…”Damn I’m glad y’all went and set it off.” See y’all tomorrow.
