If you live on NBA Twitter, then you certainly know about the infamous account called Ballsack Sports that has fooled so many people with fake quotes. Fooling regular folks is one thing, but the fake quotes have often made it to National TV where sports analysts should be doing their homework before spewing nonsense.
Stephen A. Smith was the latest victim. The ESPN pundit tried to explain that Kyrie Irving once got into James Harden’s face, and called him washed. As it turns out, this was a fake report constructed by Ballsack Sports.
On Tuesday morning, Nets star Kevin Durant reacted to Smith being completely fooled by that report.
“Damn steve. Got ya ass.”
Smith isn’t the first one to be duped by these kinds of reports, and he certainly won’t be the last.
