LeBron James was not happy with Stephen A. Smith, and it had to do with Bronny. On Thursday night, LeBron confronted Smith at the Lakers-Knicks game and could be seen saying, “Keep my son out of this sh–.”

Smith confirmed that LeBron had confronted him about Bronny.
“That was LeBron James coming up to me, unexpectedly I might add, to confront me about making sure I mind what I say about his son,” Smith said. “I can’t repeat the words because they ain’t suited for FCC airwaves. That’s what he was doing.”
“That wasn’t a basketball player confronting me, that was a parent, that was a father.”

According to FS1’s Nick Wright, LeBron was mad at Smith for playing Bronny lowlights during his show.
“The face of the league debate. When Stephen A. brought that up on his podcast, you know what video played alongside it…it was Bronny’s bad minutes against the Sixers.”
