Stephen A. Smith - English
LeBron James is well-known for his fierce protection of his family. And since his son, Bronny, was drafted by the Lakers in the 2024 NBA draft, things have definitely changed in the NBA. Suddenly, there’s this extra layer of attention, with everyone watching how the father-son dynamic plays out. It’s not just about Bronny’s skills anymore, it’s about the whole family’s involvement in the league.
Stephen A. Smith and LeBron James have had their share of conflicts, particularly when Smith made personal comments regarding Bronny and his performance on the court. Recently, after a game against the Grizzlies, LeBron sent a message to Smith, indicating that his remarks were purely personal and perhaps should have remained so.
LeBron James demonstrates that he doesn’t dislike all sports TV personalities
Although LeBron’s interaction with podcast host Nick Wright was brief, he took a moment to greet him and his companions. This suggests that Smith’s comments have resonated within the James family.
It is true that Bronny has not yet reached NBA-level talent and may never achieve the caliber of play that his father has developed over the past two decades. In the midst of constant comparisons to highly talented players in the sport, Bronny often goes viral for his struggles rather than his successes.
The Southern California alum averages 5.9 minutes per game, 3.2 points per game, has a shooting percentage of 32.7%, and averages 0.6 assists per game. Last week, he spoke about how he feels and how people often underestimate the impact of social media and criticism on him.
In an episode of the Pat McAfee Show, LeBron explained why he confronted Stephen A. Smith-to protect his family and stand up for the players. He also discussed the media’s sensational approach to NBA coverage and how it contributes to the ego and fame of personalities like Stephen A. Smith.
