Stephen A Smith Claps Back At LeBron James’ Taylor Swift Comment, Claims He Was Prepared To Fight LeBron

Stephen A. Smith has made it clear that he believes LeBron James lied about the nature of their confrontation and has a lot of issues with him. During his rant on The Stephen A. Smith Show, he detailed the encounter he had with LeBron courtside at a Lakers game, where LeBron confronted him about comments Stephen A. made regarding his son. Stephen A. defended himself, stating that he was never talking about LeBron’s son specifically but rather about LeBron himself. He accused LeBron of being disingenuous and using his son to deflect from the real issue.

Stephen A. also responded to online commenters who speculated that he would have been intimidated by LeBron. While he admitted that he would have likely been overpowered if it came to physical confrontation, he made it clear that if LeBron had put his hands on him, he would have reacted by swinging first, even though he would’ve likely been “thoroughly kicked” by the 6’8”, 250-pound basketball star.

In essence, Stephen A. is frustrated with what he perceives as LeBron’s passive-aggressive behavior and how the situation played out with the cameras rolling, adding to his belief that LeBron was seeking attention rather than truly standing up for his son. The drama continues to stir strong reactions, with Stephen A. clearly not backing down in defending his stance.
