NBA Trade Rumors: LeBron James and Stephen A. Smith's Feud Reaches New Heights
The NBA season is full of storylines, but one of the most entertaining off-court battles has been the ongoing feud between LeBron James and ESPN's Stephen A. Smith.
How It Started: Bronny Comments Spark the Fire
The beef began when LeBron confronted Smith at a Lakers game over comments the TV personality made about Bronny James. Smith had criticized Bronny’s rookie season, calling it underwhelming and telling LeBron to “stop.”
Since then, the two have been trading shots, with things escalating on Wednesday after LeBron’s appearance on The Pat McAfee Show.
Stephen A. Claims He Would Have "Swung" on LeBron
On his own podcast, The Stephen A. Smith Show, Smith doubled down, claiming that if LeBron had actually put his hands on him during their confrontation, he would have swung back.
LeBron clapped back in savage fashion, posting a trolling Instagram post that caught the attention of stars like Lamar Jackson and Nick Kyrgios.
LeBron Balances Feud With On-Court Heroics
Despite the drama, LeBron still delivered on the court, tipping in a Luka Dončić miss at the buzzer to lead the Lakers to a win over the Indiana Pacers, snapping their three-game losing streak.
What’s Next? More Jabs Incoming
Smith will have plenty to say on Thursday’s First Take, and with both men unwilling to back down, this feud is far from over.
Will LeBron fire back again? Will Smith escalate things even further? Stay tuned.
