LeBron James finally broke his silence about his ongoing beef with sports commentator Stephen A. Smith.
The pair trended online weeks back after LeBron was seen confronting Smith courtside over his criticism of his baller son, Bronny James.
“He’s like on a Taylor Swift tour run right now,” LeBron told ESPN. “I didn’t wanna address it. I wasn’t going to address it, but since the video came out, I feel the need to address it.”

He completely missed the whole point..
He got personal with it and it’s my job to not only protect my own household but also all the players” @KingJames #PMSLive pic.twitter.com/LKKFmvtFWM
Bron continued, “He completely missed the whole point,” he continued. “Never would I ever not allow people [who] talk about the sport to criticize players about what they do on the court. That is your job to criticize. That is all part of the game. But when you take it and get personal with it, it’s my job to not only to protect my damn household but protect the players.”
LeBron went on to say that he knows Smith is “smiling from ear to ear” right now because Bron is talking about him.
“He’s going to get home and grab some ice cream out of the f–king freezer and sit in his chair in his tighty-whities on the couch, Relax, bro.”
Smith recently claimed that he would have swung on LeBron if the athlete had touched him during their heated showdown.
