LeBron’s Courtside Showdown with Stephen A….
Picture this: Showtime Lakers versus the New York Knicks, and LeBron James is putting on a clinic at Crypto.com Arena. Suddenly, the King himself takes a timeout to give ESPN’s outspoken guru Stephen A. Smith a personal shout-out. Why? Well, it turns out Stephen A. had been accused of throwing a Bronny-sized pie at LeBron’s eye with his remarks.
LeBron, being the superstar dad, wasn’t amused by what he heard, especially after Stephen A. allegedly pled with LeBron to hit pause on his son’s Laker saga following a rocky patch against the 76ers. Despite Bronny’s promising strides in the G League, Stephen A. claims he’s always been Team Bronny, promising he avoids the rookie flak out of sheer respect for the entire James clan. But LeBron wasn’t feeling it and reminded Stephen A. just how protective he is over his rooster.
As the dust settled, amidst courtside chuckles and raised eyebrows, Stephen A. conceded he understands Papa James’ eruption. But hey, Bronny’s been better than ever at keeping his head in the game, dodging critics faster than a space jam tune squad. To top it off, rumor has it, LeBron even thinks the Lakers have enough firepower to face any team without needing extra sharp critiques. Now that’s what we call a family slam dunk!
