SAS' reasoning was that the Lakers star intentionally pushed his son, Bronny James, to be an NBA player even though he lacks the talent to play in the league. Well, James recently confronted Smith on courtside.

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.
