LeBron James Confronts Stephen A. Smith Over Bronny Criticism

The NBA star approached the ESPN commentator courtside to address remarks about his son during the Lakers' game against the Knicks.

LeBron James confronted Stephen A. Smith courtside during the Lakers' overtime win against the Knicks, addressing criticism of his son, Bronny James.
Smith confirmed the confrontation stemmed from comments he made questioning Bronny's readiness for the NBA and attributing his selection to LeBron's influence.
LeBron reportedly told Smith to stop discussing his son, with lip readers speculating he said, 'Keep my son out of this.'
Smith defended his remarks, clarifying they were directed at LeBron's role in Bronny's NBA journey rather than Bronny himself, and expressed respect for LeBron as a father.
Bronny, a rookie with the Lakers, has faced scrutiny for his performance, averaging 1.4 points in limited minutes over 18 games this season.
