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.

Draymond Green loses it chasing ref after no call but replay shows what really happened
It wouldn't be a Golden State Warriors playoff game without a little drama. In Game 3 of the first round series against the Houston Rockets, Draymond Green once again made sure all eyes were on him and not just for his defense. The Warriors walked away with a solid 104-93 win, but Green nearly stole the spotlight for reasons that had nothing to do with the scoreboard.Draymond went up strong under the basket, hoping to draw a foul after feeling contact from a Rockets defender. At first glance, from the broadcast camera angle, it really did look like a missed call. Green clearly took some contact as he rose for the shot, and when the ball clanged off the rim, his frustration boiled over. Instead of sprinting back on defense like the play demanded, Draymond turned his focus and his […]

Prisco’s NFL Draft 2025 grades for each team, including best and worst picks: Bucs earn one of three ‘A’ marks
Getty Images Since taking over as the general manager of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2014, Jason Licht's draft picks have been as good as any in the league, yet Licht doesn't get the due he deserves for his drafting prowess.It's time he does. Licht's Bucs had another outstanding draft this year, one of the best in fact. Tampa Bay received one of the three "A" grades I gave out this year. The other two went to the Jacksonville Jaguars and Kansas City Chiefs, both teams doing some impressive things over the seven rounds, including Jacksonville's bold move to go up to No. 2 to get Travis Hunter, the best player in the draft. These draft grades are immediate, so I know they are infuriating for some. But our bosses love them -- and you eat them up. So we do them.But […]
