ESPN star Stephen A. Smtih raised his feud with LeBron James to the next level Thursday and pushed back again on the notion that he ever became personal with the Los Angeles Lakers star.

Smith said on “First Take” in a 15-minute loneliness that James “lied” during his interview with Pat McAfee, and that he only talked about his son, Bronny James, with regard to basketball. Smith then made all the personal remarks he could have said about James, when Kobe Bryant died in 2020 and the memorial that happened afterwards.

“If LeBron James wants to see me continue to cover this sport or he will have a problem with continuing to cover this sport, I suggest he is happy with the things I have not bred,” he said. “I’ve never raised really and never really discussed why you weren’t in Kobe Bryants Memorial Service. I’ve never really brought up or discussed why you didn’t attend Dwyane Wades Hall of Fame induction when this man was directly responsible for caught a championship for the first time in your career.

“I brought up nothing of it. I did not bring the fact that even though people had asked, you had referred to what had happened tragically to your son, and thank God he is ok with his heart disease I did not bring up even if you could not go to the Hall of Fame induction of Dwyane Wade weeks later, weeks earlier you were out of the country.

“I didn’t bring it up. It’s your personal business. But the fact is that you weren’t in the Hall of Fame induction of a brother who will drastically help you be a Hall of Famer because he helped you become a master who you are and he was a big brother to you.

The Los Angeles Times reported in February 2020 that James was in the audience of Bryant’s memorial. James was then asked why he held a low profile during the event. He said he was an emotional vrak, according to Essence.

Smith also took out that James sent an old clip of the TV boxing boxing in a workout. Instagram post came after Smith said he would have “swing” against James if he put his hands on him.

“In the wake of the (McAfee interview), what does he do? He puts a page about me about me boxing and all these other things from a decade ago with two cracked rotatorm cuffs. Fine, no problem. It’s a very, very embarrassing video. I would be the first to say …

“So we get it out. Why am I bringing it up? Because that’s how you’ve become? You’re LeBron James, you’re the asshurt of the things I say you would send that video? When has LeBron James ever done something like?”

Smith was wondering why James was “in his feelings” and theorized, it was because he doesn’t think he will ever surpass Michael Jordan as the biggest basketball player of all time.

James helped Lakers to a win over Indiana Pacers on Wednesday night.
