Stephen A. Smith gives wild take on Kyrie Irving, Kevin Durant joining Nets over Knicks

Stephen A. Smith has never been one to bite his tongue over the decision Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant made to join the Brooklyn Nets. Even years removed from that decision, and a few trades/big decisions by both players, he's still willing to call out both players for choosing the Nets — specifically over the New York Knicks.

During a recent appearance on "The Bill Simmons Podcast," Smith unloaded on the duo and specifically called them out for the money they lost, in his opinion, by opting to sign with the Nets instead of the Knicks.

As Let's Talk Knicks found and revealed on Twitter, Smith said he believes Irving and Durant cost themselves about half a billion dollars from that decision alone in off-court opportunities.
