ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith went on a long rant Tuesday morning regarding Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James’s Monday night tweet, which has since been deleted, asking for the media to leave his son, USC player Bronny James, alone when it comes to his NBA future.
Smith felt that James didn’t have the right to make the argument, as he believes the four-time NBA champion is at fault for why the media is so intrigued about where his son could possibly land.
“This is all his fault—all of it,” Smith said on First Take. “Let me be very delicate, I’m not joking around, I’m not playing. I’m going to be very serious. ... When we get to Bronny James, that kid has done nothing but work hard and try to get on this game and all this other stuff. Any attention that he’s warranted has been because of his daddy.”
