The ESPN star, Stephen A. Smtih, raised her dispute with LeBron James to the next level on Thursday, going back once again about the notion that she was once personal with Los Angeles Lakers star.
Smith said in “First Toma” in a 15 -minute soliloquy that James “lied” during his interview with Pat Mcafee and that he only talked about his son, Bronny James, in terms of basketball. Then, Smith presented all the personal comments he could have said about James, who goes back when Kobe Bryant died in 2020 and the commemorative service that occurred later.

“If LeBron James wants to see me continue covering this sport, or he wants to have a problem for me to continue covering this sport, I suggest that I am happy with the things I have not mentioned,” he said. “I never really mentioned and I never really argued why you were not in Kobe Bryant’s commemorative service. I really never mentioned or argued why you did not attend the induction of the Dwyane Wade Hall of Fame when that man was directly responsible for capturing a championship for the first time in your career.
“I did not mention any of that. I did not mention the fact that although, when people had asked, you alluded to what had happened to your son, and, thank God, he is fine with his heart condition, I did not mention that although you could not go to the induction of the Dwyane Wade Hall of Fame Wade weeks later, weeks before, you were out of the country in business.
“I did not mention that. That is your personal business. But the fact is that you were not in the induction of the Hall of Fame of a brother who will drastically help you to be a Hall of Fame because it helped you become a champion that you are, and he was an older brother for you. I did not mention any of these things. But LeBron James, at the end of the day, wants to come to me, and he is walking around pouting.” “

Los Angeles Times reported in February 2020 that James was at the audience for Bryant’s Memorial. Then James was asked why he had a low profile during the event. He said it was an emotional accident, according to Essence.
Smith also disagreed with James by publishing an old announcer boxing clip in a training session. Instagram’s post occurred after Smith said he would have “balanced” James if he put his hands.
“Following (McAfee’s interview), what does it do? Sautards a page about my boxing and all these other things a decade ago with two torn fists. Well, there is no problem. It is a very, very shameful video. It would be the first to say …
“Then, we get it out of the way. Why do I mention that? Because that’s how you have become petty. You are LeBron James, you are that top about the things I am saying that you would publish that video? When has LeBron James done James ever?”
Smith wondered why James was “in his feelings” and theorized was because he does not believe that he once exceeds Michael Jordan as the best basketball player of all time.
James helped the Lakers to a victory over the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday night.
