Stephen A. Smith Reacts After Daughter Admits Crush on LeBron James’ Son

To answer the question if she or her father “hates” James, Samantha explained that she attended a Cavaliers game in the past. While she acknowledged the Lakers’ star as a great player, her focus was on Bryce.

And in her defense, the younger James wouldn’t probably know this, nor watch the show, “because like why would he?” So, Samantha could easily pass the remark that got Smith saying that this “better be” a joke.

The whole time, the father sat there with a look of disbelief, doubting his ears. And that’s probably the only natural outcome after his tense feelings about the NBA star.

Stephen A. Smith’s Barbed History With LeBron James

The GOAT debate of the NBA never gets old. But while the conversation thrives upon pitting greats against greats, Smith always maintained a clear stance. And all the time, King James has been at odds with it.

“We don’t get along, and there are a multitude of reasons why,” Smith said about LeBron. “I’ve alluded to some of them, but we know what the biggest reason is. I ain’t Shannon Sharpe, it ain’t GOAT status this way. My GOAT is Michael Jordan.”

So, his daughter having a crush on James’ son and admitting it out loud must’ve struck a nerve somewhere. However, it was all for laughs and giggles rather than anything gravely serious.

But to answer the main question, Smith doesn’t “hate anybody just for the record.”

With that being said, what do you think of this incident?
