- Let the drama continue!
- This time, Kyrie Irving called out Stephen A. Smith.
- Then, Smith quickly fired back at Irving, and this might be an entertaining thing to keep an eye on.
We have already seen Skip Bayless against Stephen A. Smith. Then we saw Skip Bayless and Russell Westbrook call one another out.
Well, now we have Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving calling out Stephen A. Smith for how he acts. Here’s what Irving said on Twitter on Tuesday morning.
@stephenasmith you’re gonna have to explain yourself to people in your generation. I am not around many 50 plus year olds that speak and act like you do, so this is new for me. But I am sure my father and my uncles can meet you on your level better than I can. We know you STEPHEN

Something must have provoked Irving to call out Stephen A. Perhaps it was Smith commenting on Irving opting in with the Nets, and Smith’s full two-minute clip might have certainly rubbed Irving the wrong way.

Irving heard, sat back, and fired back at Smith. But it wasn’t done there. Not even close.
Stephen A. Smith Fires Back At Kyrie Irving
Not even an hour after Irving tweeted, Smith saw Irving’s post and fired back with a long post of his own.
Oh, you’ve got it twisted bro! Big time! @KyrieIrving https://t.co/sVt6KqvJs8 pic.twitter.com/pgaMbltEVX

Wow.
Smith was not at all happy with what Irving said about him, and the two have suddenly started some fiery beef with one another.
The NBA has already been full of drama and the Finals still just barely ended not even three weeks ago. With NBA free agency around the corner, it will be interesting to see how that plays out, although this latest drama between Stephen A. and Kyrie might be a significant talking point for the next few days.
Get your popcorn ready.
