Basketball Hall of Famer Charles Barkley weighed in the feud between ESPN Pundit Stephen A. Smith and Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James during a radio appearance on Friday.

Smith and James traded barbs in separate media performance all week. It came after James confronted Smith during a Lakers game over comments that the Hot-Take Aficionado did about his son, Bronny. Smith maintained that nothing personally had been said. Smith raised Ante by mentioning the personal problems he could have said about LeBron James, but not.

Barkley analyzed the War War during a performance on “The Dan Patrick Show.” He said both Smith and James had pretty bad weeks.

“They both had a terrible week,” he said. “LeBron, he is too big to be the type of bully. To bully Stephen A. and to bully Brian Windhorst … Brian Windhorst, he is a sweet person, man. He just tries to do his stuff. And I’ve always wanted LeBron but he was a bully, it turned off me.

“But I want to say this: Stephen A., the way he responded was so limp and weak. Stephen A.’SA GOOD DUDE, MAN. LEBRON, I accuse him of starting bullying, go to Pat’s show just bullying people because you know he was a control he knows everything he did. Talking hard, come on, man, you’re better than that.

“There are only losers in this scenario. You have the biggest star in the game, you probably have the biggest star on TV and they both look bad. And what bother me most is they are both good dudes. I don’t mind people who are one – holes look bad. I don’t mind because they deserve it. They deserve it.

It is unclear if the relationship will ever be repaired. Smith has said that James is only angry with him because of his opinion that the Lakers star will never surpass Michael Jordan as the biggest basketball player of all time.

Smith had to withdraw a remark he put forward about James, who participated in Kobe Bryant’s memorial. Smith said James wasn’t there when he was at the event in February 2020. James was just out of the limelight.

“My apologies and clarification. I follow wrong in Time # 1 by @Firstake today when I hinted that LeBron was not attending Kobe Bryants Memorial. I corrected myself in Time No. 2 when I acknowledged he was actually present,” he wrote at X.
