LeBron Dribbles into Instagram Trolling…
Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James decided to lace up his trolling shoes as he hit Instagram to playfully jab at ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith after scoring a game-winner against the Indiana Pacers. This jest follows a courtside conversation where LeBron flexed his confrontation skills, addressing Stephen’s chat about Bronny James. Smith, feeling slighted, took to his podcast to clarify, swatting away any misunderstandings. But hold on, because LeBron’s Instagram joke now shoots us into extra innings, with Stephen likely to huddle back to First Take and chat about this buzzer-beater roast.
During his hoopla-filled appearance on the Pat McAfee Show, LeBron teased Stephen A. for playing a swift media game that gave Taylor Swift a run for her tickets. “Stephen’s in full tour mode!” LeBron chuckled, likening Smith’s media spree to a Grammy artist on the road. “Are you kidding me?” the King quipped, highlighting the renowned analyst’s eagerness to clear the air on all social media channels available.
LeBron laid down the ultimate challenge: while ballers can be scrutinized for antics on the court, when the trash talk gets personal, the King protects his royal fam and teammates. Problematic moments like these? Just another day in the park for LeBron. And Stephen A.? Well, he’s probably chuckling himself silly, knowing this story’s just getting started.
