The ESPN personality recently attacked Durant's ability to lead on the Suns.
, Durant opened up about one loud critic who has been more vocal about the Phoenix Suns and Durant this season: ESPN's Stephen A. Smith., formerly known as Twitter, on a video of Smith questioning Durant's leadership on the Suns this season. It sounds like Durant is still heated about the discourse as he called Smith a "clown" in the interview.
“Yeah, Stephen A., I don’t understand how people even listen to Stephen A.,” Durant said. “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 s--- about players. … He’s a clown to me. He’s always been a clown. You can write that, too.”
Durant admitted he knows he has things to work on, but he doesn't think figures like Smith who aren't physically watching him practice and lead should speak up about it. “Of course, I got things I need to work on,” Durant said. But, added that talking about leadership is “stuff that’s, like, so vague and subjective.”Madison Williams is a staff writer on the Breaking and Trending News team at Sports Illustrated, where she specializes in tennis but covers a wide range of sports from a national perspective.
