‘I won’t lose any sleep’: Weeks after LeBron James ‘lying’ accusations, Stephen A. Smith reveals ‘non-existent’ connection to Lakers star

Ah, the goat debate. The controversy has polarized fans. The controversies have upset many in the NBA. Many key figures built their personalities around this debate. Of course, it’s usually between Michael Jordan and LeBron James. The debate is likely to spark heated discussions. When you’re one of the top analysts in the field, your opinions will flow in all directions. Of course, they will contact the player in question themselves.

Such was the case with Stephen A. Smith, who always chose Michael Jordan over LeBron James. LBJ naturally knows this, so how will the two react when they face each other?

Stephen A. Smith thinks LeBron James lied about a concept

Clearly, the longtime ESPN assistant doesn’t shy away from speaking his mind. In August, when James announced during a heated practice, “Don’t mean anything. Tiredness is only in my heart. You tell yourself you are tired, and you will be. I am not tired.“

However, the First-Take host felt differently. In his show, he began by saying: “He is lying.he is already tired“. I admit that the reason Lyndon Johnson became a role model was because of his “Commitments and conditions“. Then he continued: “This is a transvestite, a guy in his 20th season in better shape than most in the league last year, including teammate Anthony Davis“.

While these comments were not disrespectful per se, they suggested that he did contradict James’ beliefs. This includes King James claiming he is the greatest player of all time.

In a recent video posted to GQ Sports’ official Insta account, the undercover ESPN analyst found out what fans think of him and his Knicks team. During this event, the veteran ESPN commentator encountered a problem. The issue is,”How is Stephen A. Smith’s relationship with LeBron James now?“

To which he had a peculiar reply.

Are Stephen A. Smith and LeBron James at odds?

I answered,”Almost non-existent. Very cordial when meeting. Hello and goodbye. We keep it going. He plays and I talk about how he plays. Apparently, sometimes he likes it and sometimes he doesn’t.No matter what happens, I won’t lose sleep at night“.

Apparently, while the two may have been “cordial,” there wasn’t much room for long conversations. Considering his steady stream of criticism, the NBA insider has already been written off by many players.

As LeBron James prepares for the upcoming season, ESPN’s highly regarded host will once again be under scrutiny. They were both just doing their jobs.
