“He was after Stephen A. Smith but threw me and you under the bus as well” Shannon Sharpe fires back Kevin Durant for calling him out publicaly on Twitter
Shannon Sharpe and Kevin Durant
When Stephen A. Smith stated Michael Jordan had spoilt the game of basketball for ‘worse’. Nets star Kevin Durant had enough of listening to the ‘senseless’ opinion of some veteran analysts. So, in his post on Twitter, he decided to condemn the likes of Shannon Sharpe and Skip Bayless alongside Stephen A. Smith and went onto reveal his brutal opinion upon them.
In the latest episode of Undisputed, the former NFL star went onto discuss the same and called out Kevin Durant for unnecessarily throwing him under the bus. Moreover, the former Broncos TE elaborated upon his problem with the Brooklyn Nets small forward, it is his notion that he is a non-basketball athlete and has no prior knowledge of the NBA. Sharpe adds that Durant believes all of the analyst’s knowledge comes from Twitter.
Sharpe throws the kitchen sink at Kevin Durant in latest take
The 8-time Pro Bowler believed that Kevin Durant respects low to no basketball experience individuals like Sam Presti, RC Buford, and Gregg Popovich. Furthermore, Sharpe is perplexed about the Nets star not accepting his critical comments.
“No KD, I was watching games without sound, when you was like 6. Cause I got kids near your age. I have been watching TV and playing the game for a lot longer…damn near longer as you were alive. I got nothing with what he said. It was like he was taking a shot at Stephen A. and threw me and you in.”
Lastly Shannon Sharpe emphasized that he watches games without sound so that his view of the game doesn’t have any bias or influence. Given that it was a straight up counter to Kevin Durant’s comments and attack, it remains to be seen how the former NBA Finals and regular season MVP fires back. But as things stand, it does feel like these veteran analysts are surely not going to back down from taking on anyone. Will we witness more drama? Remains to be seen.
