I\u2019m pretty sure you\u2019ve heard the story about Kevin Durant calling Stephen A Smith a liar after Mr. Smith reported that the Los Angeles Lakers would be the number one destination if he were to leave the team he is currently with, but what made headlines was Stephen A Smith response to Kevin Durant.<\/p>\n<p>A lot of websites are saying that he threaten Durant when he said \u201cYou don\u2019t want to make an Enemy out of me.\u201d I feel like Stephen A Smith did the right thing standing up for himself, but the delivery came across as a bit arrogant. Now don\u2019t get me wrong, Stephen A Smith has been working in the media for a long time; I would agree with Stephen A Smith when it comes to the relationship with Kevin Durant and the media.<\/p>\n<p>Kevin Durant told the media that \u201cyou don\u2019t know S***.\u201d This is something that really upsets me about the world today, there\u2019s a sense of sensitive. Anytime the media reports something based off of a source doesn\u2019t mean that it\u2019s always true, but just because a player says it doesn\u2019t always make it true either. What I am trying to say is they were both wrong, Mr. Smith was wrong for his rant on First Take, and Kevin Durant was wrong for the way he treats the media.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t think athletes really understand how valuable the media can be; yes it is true that the media can be a pain at times, but they are there to report the News. The media isn\u2019t there to ruin lives, and I feel that these athletes need to understand that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0 http:\/\/feedly.com\/i\/subscription\/feed\/http:\/\/search.espn.go.com\/rss\/first-take\/videos\/6 While going through feedly I found an article\/video about the argument between Stephen A Smith and Kevin Durant.
