I don’t choose the side at all for this beef, but LeBron does this on ESPN… Amazing!
Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James appeared in Wednesday’s edition of The Pat McAfee Show and did so to deal with the tension between him and ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith.
The original conflict that caused things happened March 6th Lakers New York Knicks Game. (Related: After Bench Clear Scuffle breaks out, total chaos erupts in the Net and Pacer games)
“He completely missed the point,” James said. “It’s never going to allow people who talk about sports to criticize players about what they’re doing on the court.
“When you take it and get it personally, it’s my job to protect my damn home as well as protect the players. I think a lot of media, including him.
clock:
“Stephen a Smith is riding a Taylor Swift Tour Run right now 😂😂
He completely missed the perfect point.
He became personal with it, and it’s my job to protect not only my own family but all the players as well.” @kingjames #pmslive pic.twitter.com/lkkfmvtfwm
