Stephen A. Smith has been really annoyed on Kyrie Irving and Ben Simmons of the Nets as he thinks that they are putting themselves first over the team which is doing nothing but giving loads on Kevin Durant’s shoulder who has just come out after missing straight 21 games due to injury. KD played his first game for the Nets after Jan 21 but got disappointed as his team faced another defeat by the eastern table-toppers.

Meanwhile, Stephen A. Smith noticed the same thing and has accused Irving and Simmons of letting Durant down. In the latest episode of the First Take he expressed his honest feeling and said:

“At the end of the day, Kevin Durant is left by himself holding his bag…But as a basketball lover who knows Kyrie is great, who knows Ben Simmons is great. Who fantasies about seeing them on the court together, and let’s all get it on and find out who’s the best team. I am so incredibly disappointed for fans, for people like myself, and basketball.”

Later, Smith also slammed Ben Simmons for still ‘refusing’ to play in the game for the Nets, he ripped Simmons careless attitude and said:

Further, Smith added. “You know he ain’t paying for his own meals, the owners giving him some meals, too. You’re giving him a check to sit on the bench and smile when you’re 100% healthy and ready to go? You got to be kidding me, man. We have to stop glossing over this. This isn’t Ben Simmons in Philadelphia anymore.”

If they want to go deep into the playoffs, its very important that Irving and Simmons join the campaign for every single game left for the Brooklyn Nets
