Durant's mom got Stephen A. Smith to apologize

ESPN's Stephen A. Smith spent the past year taking shots at Kevin Durant for his somewhat controversial move from the Thunder to the Warriors. Last week, Smith had Durant's mom, Wanda, on First Take and told her directly that her son's move to the Warriors was "weak."

Well, now that Durant put up an MVP performance to earn his first NBA title, Smith finally apologized.

During Tuesday's First Take, Wanda was again a guest on the show - wearing her NBA champions shirt - and she didn't back down from Smith until he apologized for his year-long vendetta against her son.

When asked what she had to say to Smith, Wanda replied:

"If I had a mic, I would drop it. Nothing. It's over. My son said it last night. He said it. Just read my shirt."

Initially, Smith had no intention of apologizing for calling Durant's move to Golden State weak. In fact, he doubled down on it, saying that it made the entire league lopsided.

Wanda went back to those comments, though, and pointed out how when LeBron James went to Miami, it had the same effect on the league. She felt that Smith was being unfairly hyperbolic about Durant's move to Golden State, and her sincere response to Smith softened the ESPN personality. She said:

"I don't think it's fair to minimize what Kevin offers Golden State and what they offered him to say that it was the weakest move in NBA history. I think you're wrong - too harsh. The things that you said about my son, I really appreciate that, but I just think you were kind of harsh."

When Wanda made those comments, the crowd began to chant, "Say you're sorry!" And to Wanda's delight, Smith did.

She's still the real MVP.
