Lakers star LeBron James’ Stephen A. Smith incident rant to Richard Jefferson leaks

The fiery confrontation during a break in last Thursday’s win by LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers against the New York Knicks in LA between the four-time NBA Most Valuable Player and ESPN personality Stephen A. Smith continues to be the talk of the town.

That’s even after Smith addressed the heated face-to-face with the future Basketball Hall of Famer during an episode of “First Take.” Smith also spoke about it in a Friday edition of ” The Stephen A. Smith Show.”

A viral video showing the moment James and Smith having an exchange has since gone viral, with Smith later admitting that the crux of that encounter was something he said about the 40-year-old Lakers forward’s son, Los Angeles rookie guard Bronny James.

Another viral clip showing a pregame conversation between James and his former Cleveland Cavaliers teammate Richard Jefferson before last Saturday’s Lakers game against the Boston Celtics at TD Garden allegedly reveals what exactly James told Smith

Jefferson and LeBron James are close to each other, even though the former has already retired from playing in the NBA.

The two played together for multiple seasons with the Cavs, even winning the championship in historic fashion in 2016, when they stormed back from a 3-1 series deficit in the NBA Finals against Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors to bring Cleveland its first — and still only — NBA title.
