Los Angeles Lakers: LeBron James Manipulating Bronny’s Draft Stock, Claims Stephen A. Smith

Speaking on a recent episode of First Take, Stephen A. tabled a sensational conspiracy theory about LeBron supposedly playing a role in how the Lakers are all of a sudden just one spot away from Bronny’s projected draft position.

According to Smith, there’s very little doubt in his mind that this is no coincidence:

“What I would implore LeBron James to be careful about is that so much of what’s transpiring seems so transparent, it’s insulting,” Stephen A. Said. “… At some point in time, it’s like too much looks too damn obvious.”

Smith also had to bring up the fact that LeBron recently launched a podcast with JJ Redick, who suddenly emerged as the frontrunner for the Lakers’ coaching job after Darvin Ham got fired. According to Stephen A., this just serves as further proof of how much power and influence LeBron has not only on his team but on the league as well.

He is The King after all, right?
