Stephen A. Smith is once again addressing his ongoing feud with LeBron James and is now accusing the professional athlete of hiding behind his son.
“I don’t like him, and he don’t like me,” Smith told Rolling Stone’s Danyel Smith. “He’s one of the greatest players who’s ever lived. I’m going to show him that respect, and I’m going to cover him objectively. When he does great, I’m gonna applaud. When he doesn’t do great, I’m not gonna applaud.”

Looks like Bron’s telling him “keep my son out of this sh**.”

Smith and LeBron’s tension hit the public stage back in March after a courtside moment where LeBron seemed to press Smith over some commentary about Bronny.
“He hid behind his son, tried to make something out of nothing, as if I was dogging his son, which I was not,” Smith added. “The real issue was we don’t like each other. And he used that as an excuse to confront me. I got it.”
LeBron previously addressed their feud and said it was his job to protect his household.
