LeBron James yelling at Stephen A. Smith during the Los Angeles Lakers vs. New York Knicks game went viral, with many wondering what was exactly said between them. James’ behavior was definitely unusual, and despite him losing his cool in the middle of a game, he and the Lakers still managed to win against the Knicks in overtime.
Stephen A. Smith did not originally reveal what James said to him, but ever since the video of the incident went viral, the sports media personality decided to reveal what was exchanged on his show. Smith revealed that LeBron James basically yelled at him to stop discussing his son, Bronny James. Smith has in the past taken several digs at Bronny James, even going to request LeBron James to stop exposing his son in the NBA and instead have him focus on the G-League.
“You have no choice? lol. Because it went viral? lol. You didn’t want to have to? lol. You wouldn’t have? lol.” Kevin Love, former LeBron James’ teammate, ridiculed Stephen A. Smith’s reasoning on his X account.

LeBron James Sends Shoutout To Savannah James For Her ‘Essence’ Article
On another note, LeBron James recently sent a shoutout to his wife Savannah Jones and her best friend, April McDaniel, for an article covering their work on ‘Essence’ magazine. Jones and McDaniel host a podcast ‘Everybody’s Crazy’, where they not only speak about their personal lives, but also a number of important issues related to women. The article covers their work extensively, which apparently makes for some good in-flight entertainment for LeBron James.
“My inflight reading material!” LeBron James captioned the Instagram post showing a clip of him reading the article about his wife on his Ipad.
LeBron James and Savannah James have been together for more than 20 years after meeting each other in high-school. The two got engaged in 2011 and married in 2013, and share three children together: Bronny, Bryce and Zhuri. While Bronny is playing in the NBA for the Los Angeles Lakers and also the G-League, Bryce has recently committed to Arizona for his college basketball after impressing in his high school with Sierra Canyon.
