On Thursday, Stephen A. Smith shared a strong opinion on ESPN's show NBA Today, and the clip can be seen in the tweet that is embedded below from the Twitter account of NBA on ESPN.  

“If [the Nets] do not win a championship. … Kevin Durant is on the verge for being recognized more so for the guy that left Steph Curry to go with Kyrie Irving, than he is for the two chips and two finals MVP.”

Smith said: "Do you understand that Kevin Durant is on the verge for being recognized more so for the guy that left Steph Curry to go with Kyrie Irving, than he is for the two chips and the two finals MVP's." 

Smith had been alluding to the possibility of James Harden, Kyrie Irving and Durant not winning a title together. 

On Saturday morning, Kevin Durant's mom (Wanda) commented on the clip and her response can be see in the tweet embedded below. 

@stephenasmith you at it again with your limited-thinking-negative-narrative-baiting-comments; when will you show up better? More importantly, when will we grow tired of this foolishness?
