Stephan A. Smith and Los Angeles Lakers guard Stephen A. Smith have been going back and forth since a confrontation between the two when the Lakers faced the Knicks. James called out Smith for his comments about former USC Trojans guard Bronny James.

Despite the criticism, LeBron has remained consistent in his role as a father, continuing to support Bronny while ensuring he navigates his own path. As the tension between Smith and James plays out, James will look to keep his focus on his son’s development and the challenges ahead for the Lakers.

ESPN's Stephen A. Smith says LeBron James confronting him last week was 'weak' and was possibly caused by James' son and Lakers teammate Bronny having a 'sad look on his face.'
