After the Lakers' victory over the Knicks, conversation shifted from the game to a confrontation involving LeBron James and Stephen A. Smith. Late at night, LeBron approached Smith regarding his coverage of Bronny, emphasizing how Smith should be cautious with his words. Smith spoke on First Take, acknowledging that LeBron was upset with certain remarks. While Smith later suggested that he would have preferred addressing the issue through private means, he didn't fully accept responsibility for his criticisms. This incident highlights the complicated dynamics in NBA media and player relationships.
That was LeBron James coming up to me, unexpectedly I might add, to confront me about making sure that I mind what I say about his son.
LeBron took exception to things he 'thought' he heard about Smith's coverage of Bronny.
Instead of really taking any sort of blame or fault, Smith deflected and, multiple times, alluded to a desire to have had this conversation over the phone.
There's been so many comments from Smith, it's hard to tell exactly what comment led to LeBron choosing to confront Stephen A.
