Stephen A. Smith is charged up for a battle of words with Kevin Durant.

Previously, the Oklahoma City Thunder star said Smith was "lying" during an ESPN "First Take" report when the irascible on-air personality said Durant may make his way to the Los Angeles Lakers next summer.

Well, Smith didn't take too kindly to Durant's words, and unleashed an intense rant on "First Take," warning the NBA superstar to "not make an enemy" out of him because he was "incredibly offended" by the "personal attack."

Smith was serious, capping off his rant with a warning to Durant.

"This implication that I don’t know stuff? You all better think twice about that," said Smith. "Because when these NBA games come, you're going to see me at these arenas, and remember what I said to you: I can find out more in ten minutes at a basketball arena than I can on the phone with 50 different people inside of two weeks. Think about that, and ask yourself: Do you really want to go there?"

Shots fired.
