Stephen A. Smith on LeBron James: “I suggest that he be happy with the things that I haven’t brought up. I never brought up why you were not at Kobe Bryant’s memorial service. I never really brought up or discussed why you did not attend Dwyane Wade’s Hall of Fame induction”

  2. D wade said at the time, LeBron was with his son for Pt recovery this is disgraceful and disgusting af from
    SAS truly unhinged shit

  3. Watching the full clip now.. completely unnecessary to bring Kobe into this. Shameful

  5. LeBron was at Kobe’s memorial…LA times reported him as being there and there were reports following that said he requested that cameras do not pan to him. For a guy who prides himself on being a “journalist” and having so many sources, you’d think he would know better than to stoop this low

  7. Sounds like a toxic ex now. “Well what about that one time you did x” while completely ignoring the topic of discussion. Anyways Kobes death has nothing to do with anything so I don’t know why he brought that up.

    Guess he realized he can’t win so he will just farm these topics instead of actually talking about BASKETBALL.

  8. I’m kinda lost at the point about how Lebron wasn’t at Kobe’s memorial? What is that even about that. I’m pretty sure Lebron was at Kobe’s public memorial at Staples center. He just told the press don’t put any cameras on him because wanted the focus to be on Kobe and his family. 

    Is the another memorial SAS was talking about? 

  10. 2024 – Kendrick vs. Drake (Kanye left out)

    2025 – LeBron vs. Stephen A (Skip left out)

  13. Bro trying to bait so hard since he knows he’ll fade into obscurity after this run is over lol

  15. This part is actually going to rub players the wrong way.

    Throwing Kobe and Bronnys heart condition into this is going to shift the way anyone interacts with him.

  16. Stephen A thought he was untouchable because he goes on all the ex-NBA players podcasts and is now absolutely losing it because a player is going at him. Not only that, it’s THEE player going at him.

    He’s fucking himself because he’s bringing up personal stuff. It’s going to kill his relationship with other players. What a great watch.

  18. Well Stephen A had 1 of two options.

    1.) Play it off and bow out of a back and forth with LeBron, continuing his job of commentating on basketball

    2) Go full crash out and slander LeBron because you feel embarrassed

    Obviously Stephen A preferred option 2

  20. Wishful thinking but I hope this is the start of bringing down the popularity of SAS. He’s been a stain for a long time and it’s sad he has all this wealth for being a loudmouth idiot.

    He comes off really petty and distasteful here. I wish he swung on LeBron and got knocked out in defense.

  21. LBJ thanos snapping SAS is not something I expected in 2025 but I guess I’ll watch and enjoy.

  23. He has no right to comment on Lebron’s personal business or his relationships with other people. Such a weird dude.

  24. I’m pretty sure he did attend Kobe’s funeral, but even if he didn’t who cares? We gonna judge people for how they grieve? There would be no problem imo if he didn’t turn up. Such a fucked up thing to bring up

  25. Oh wow he’s fully crashing out into “being an awful person” territory instead of just annoyingly hyperbolic tv personality.

  29. I wish we could live in a society where people could take criticism and move on.

    That’s is all

  31. It’s so crazy that SAS thinks he can win this. His ego is so massive he thinks people like him and his opinions more than LeBron James. All LeBron would have to do to end this is tell ESPN that no one in Klutch will agree to talk to ESPN until SAS is gone and that’s that.

  32. Watching SAS ruin his career thinking he can win a beef against LeBron is kinda crazy

  33. SAS quit pump faking. If you gonna bring it up then man up say it. Otherwise don’t bring it up.

  35. What a POS. Truly crossing the line here. Stephen A is 100% doing this bc it’s gonna drive up viewers for the show and his social media.

    Is he trying to insinuate that Lebron didn’t care for Kobe? Or for Wade?

    Called LeBron petty for having something to say but then SAS is bringing up a dead man. SMH.

  36. Stephen A should back down from this feud. He’s getting unnecessarily personal now and I don’t see how this helps his position or ESPN in the long run to throw dirt on LeBron James

  37. Every time Stephen A Smith speaks he confirms that he’s a bitch. I’m so sick of this guy. He desperately wants to be the story. This is why I don’t watch ESPN. It’s bullshit for idiots.

  38. This is embarrassing. SAS is the definition of needing to get the last word in.

  40. Bro is really using Kobes death as a talking point. He’s fucking delusional. Hope this is the start of his downfall.

  41. saying u never brought something up, is actually worse then bringing it up cause now ur being vague and gonna have people speculating about it.

  43. Yikes. What a horrible take. When your child almost dies, there’s probably a perspective shift on things that matter in life. Achievements are cool and fun, but you don’t die with them at your bedside. You die with your favorite memories of loved ones playing in your head.

    I don’t care how close he was with Wade. I don’t care if it’s hall of fame, siblings birth of a child, wedding, etc. If my son almost dies at 19, I’m spending every second with him until I feel like he’s safe.

    Fuck Stephen A

  45. If I’m not mistaken, LeBron was at Kobe’s memorial, and I’m pretty sure Bronny’s cardiac arrest occurred during Wade’s HoF induction, which anyone can understand why he wouldn’t be there. If I’m LeBron, I would be looking to torpedo SAS right now and kill his career with all this shit he is saying. The crazy part is Screaming A still doesn’t understand this all started because he called LeBron a bad father because of Bronny’s draft status as a 55th selection.

  46. Bron attended Kobe’s funeral, but requested that he wasn’t recorded or photographed.

    Wade’s ceremony was 2 weeks after Bronny’s HEART STOPPED.

    Stephan A. is an idiot and a clown.
