Kenny Smith brought this upon himself.

Drake delivered a hilarious opening monologue at the NBA Awards on Monday, but was quickly undercut by the "Inside the NBA" crew that followed. Smith, in a moment of courage, joked that Drake's jokes were penned by a ghostwriter.

That proved to be a sensitive point for Drake, who responded a few segments later by calling Smith, "the most expendable member of the TNT crew."

Given how Drake responded to Meek Mill for the same allegations, Smith got off lightly.
