Lebron Steps To Stephen A Smith For Talking About His Son

I said for a while now that people that covers the NBA don’t even talk basketball

And a HUGE reason of the perception of the games.

From older players to journalist that’s on TV are the worse for the game.

The people covering the game want to be just as famous as the players. And that conflict of interest has caused this current sports media landscape to turn the way it has.

Not only just as famous but also just as rich. Remember SAS was asking for an NBA contract from ESPN.
 
It’s very fitting that SAS has this kind of situation he’s set himself up in, he and Skip have destroyed a legitimate approach to popular sports reporting and Dan Lebatard told him this last year and he rejected it. The thing is that we’ve seen him for not days, weeks, months or years….but decades where he’s foster an atmosphere that is littered in disrespect and disdain for players if they’re not Michael Jordan. You can’t be Mike. Never will you be able to.

MJ came to the game where Larry and Magic made it grow with their skills as well as feeding and fostering the racial tension between white and black. His image transcended sports. He sold as greatness, charm, physical charisma…you name it. The Olympics will never be the same because of him. Sneaker culture is what it is because of him. He is a legend.

LeBron is a legend as well, but they act as if they haven’t fed into this news cycle that has essentially disrespected him for decades. Imagine this, Allen Iverson said this almost twenty years ago



Now the point of me posting this video is that again is very fitting. Allen Iverson said this to Steven A Smith, in terms of people are waiting for LeBron James to do something to talk about him, but he hasn’t truly done anything. He hasn’t been abusive to his wife, mother, randoms in the street, hasn’t cheated the game, his biggest flaws are due to his Mishaps on the court, but even then it’s not worthy enough for people to talk about them and they use that as an opportunity to knock him down. So imagine someone bothering you periodically for decades and you took the high road and then suddenly they try it with your son through you. It’s hilarious honestly.
 
I honestly forgot to throw this in there, Stephen a Smith compromised himself the minute when he critiqued Kyrie Irving the way he did. He said on Friday during first take, he’s covered by William Morris endeavor. These are the people that are in bed with Dana White And anything else UFC related. The passion he had when talking about Kyrie, should’ve been matched or greater when Dana White smacked his wife in the club. Yet he did not go out of his way to speak about Dana White in any kind of integrating fashion when what Dana did was 10 times worse. Also, Conor got jammed up on multiple rape problems and there was no coverage by Stephen A.

Jeanie Buss, for a while was an awful owner of the lakers, she got the gig as a nepotism hire and what did she do? Nothing. She was fucking up the lakers. There was no pointing out of the way in which she fucked up the franchise. She was given grace and an opportunity to fix this and that’s what Bronny should get. A chance to show you what he can do. There is no reason to give him such harsh scrutiny. Black male dominance is never going to be fully accepted and these folks know it. Shedur Sanders is going to prove this more and more with how they’re gonna cover him and when Arch Manning gets to the league in a few years he won’t be called arrogant, cocky ETC. So it’s just one big bag of comedy.
 
SAS gets way too comfortable talking about people.

He's talking ABOUT LeBron on a platform for the world to see like it's a heart to heart message from one father to another. Talking about a man that didn't have a father in his life on how he's raising his son. Those are completely different things.

Cant stand the way he pretends he's being professional when he gets pressed about the bullshit he says. He deserves all the smoke and this is just another notch on his fuck nigga activity chart.

Lebron doesn't seem to realize that he failed Bronny as a father.

😂 How?

His son that almost died 2023 is playing in the NBA. He's playing great now on the g league as a 55th pick.

Bronny is living a dream many could only wish for that LeBron has built himself as a person that didn't have a father around

So how did he fail him as a father?

To be fair....this is prolly the ONLY way he can get attention from LeBron to even have the conversation....I'm sure if he had his direct number he'd tell him this same message directly

By not telling him to go back to school.

How would things be different if he went back to school?

1. Another year would give him a year to improve his game.

2. Another year would be another year removed from his medical incident, which I think affected his play.

If his play had improved (for both of these reasons) by the time he joined the league, he would not have been subject to the ridicule that he's been subjected to.

Even if his play dramatically improves in the coming years, the stink surrounding him because of the stigma of having his daddy getting him in the league when he wasn't ready will not completely go away.

No way I would have done that to my son, if I had one. Nor would most people.

So I am just talking about Lebron's decision-making surrounding the draft, not Bronny's whole life.

He can learn faster against better competition in the g league and he's showing that he's on that level.

I think Bronny wanted to enter the league just as much as LeBron and he had the opportunity to make it happen.


It was a once in a lifetime opportunity and it's working out for both of them now
 
I don't feel like reading through all the posts, but I really can't understand why people think Lebron is in the right. Put your feelings about SAS aside. SAS was doing the same goofy with Bronny that he does with all players in the league. Lebron is the one that rushed Bronny into being an NBA player. It makes no sense for him to turn around and get mad that people are treating Bronny like and NBA player. Yes, SAS did that corny ass appeal to Lebron as a father, but he did that because Lebron is the one that's making the decisions that open Bronny up to the media spotlight. It's corny him to try and step to someone for simply acknowledging that fact and telling him to chill.

I get some people think Bron was justified because he was protecting his son. Just ask yourself though. If that was your son would you have made the same decisions with him? If not, then you're kinda proving SAS' point.
