By now, you surely know about Steph Curry’s wife Ayesha going on a bit of a Twitter tirade in which she accused the NBA of rigging Game 6, a game wherein her husband was ejected as the Warriors lost to the Cavaliers to force a Game 7. She later deleted the tweet and apologized for accusing the league of skullduggery, chalking it up to a long, stressful day, one where the father may have been racially profiled. Despite all this, there is one man for which that explanation is not enough. Over at ESPN, Stephen A. Smith, America’s waking nightmare, opened his gaping maw to spew forth his feelings about Ayesha.

In short, Smith wants to know why Ayesha isn’t more like LeBron James’ wife Savannah. About Savannah, Smith said:

“She’s wonderful inside and out. She sits there, she doesn’t bring any attention to herself. She never tweets and goes out there and calls out the league and stuff like that. And nobody — nobody — is more scrutinized than her husband.”

Those are nice words about Savannah, sort of, although it’s also incredibly obnoxious, essentially telling Ayesha not to tweet and to just, you know, be quiet. If anybody shouldn’t be giving people advice on keeping quiet, it’s Smith. Ayesha, rightfully took umbrage with Smith’s comments, and tweeted at him to express her disdain:

At this point, Smith was made aware of Ayesha’s tweets whilst he was on First Take, a show that, if you say its name three times into a mirror, will appear and murder you. He responded with, well, more of the same nonsense. At least ESPN managed to put together a little “Angry Ayesha” logo to go with the proceedings. Presumably, Ayesha may have more to say about Smith, or whatever else she wants. Because she’s not LeBron James’ wife, and she does what she damn well pleases.
