This Stephen A Smith vs KD feud has been hilarious, seeing Stephen A going into badass "you don't want to mess with me" mode.

[Weasel]

Just saw a video of SAS saying his piece. Im confused, what was KD saying that has him all worked up?

[shel311]

Stephen A said KD would consider the Lakers in free agency.

KD said he doesn't speak to Stephen A, and he's lying. Stephen A responds with this in true billy badass fashion:

"I sit here today incredibly offended by the personal attack that this man has put against me," Smith said.

"What I would like to ask Kevin Durant and some of the brothers who talk behind my back in the NBA who probably put him up to something stupid like this ... Do you really want me to come out of this seat and go back on the scene? Do you really wanna see me in an NBA arena?"

"Because I can assure you I'll find out more in 10 minutes than I can get from 50 phone calls .... I have proven it."

"I am a black man on national television with a big mouth and I will still stand up today here and I'll put my resume spanning 22 years plus up against anyone in this industry."

"We really wanna go here? We really wanna start something with ME???? You sure about that??? I just want people to think about that."

Planning on getting a ticket to Opening night at the Barclays Center on Wednesday vs the Bulls. Seems like I'm always in town when the Knicks and/or Nets play the Bulls.

i know absolutely nothing about basketball. I know Bo Ryan runs something at Wisconsin. And theres the Princeton offense. I assumed Stevens has his own system. Just curious what it is.

Headed down to the Forum tomorrow night to see Grizz/Cavs

Lower level seats, should be a great game

From what I know / have seen:
Offense - Looks like a 4 out motion offense most of the time. Very unselfish setup with pretty much anyone getting the green light.
Defense - Mostly man, a lot of switches on screens. It's a combination of pressing and funneling. If Stevens ever gets a legit shot blocker, they could probably make the jump to being a consistently elite defensive team.
