We all know that Bronny James is in the NBA because of his dad.
How are you helping him?
I really dont get it.
We gotta be real about what were seeing with Bronny James…. Hes not ready….
I think the kid will be in the NBA one day.
I watched him in the G League doing his thing.
I think hes going to be fine, eventually.
But thats not the case yet.
What happened when LeBron confronted Stephen A. in New York?
It was all about his son, Smith said of the encounter.
Youve got to call it like you see it, and thats what I did.
How have LeBron and Stephen A. responded to the incident?
Smith continued to describe the incident in detail.
This was in the third quarter, Smith said.
He said, Yo, you gotta stop talking shit about my son.
You got to stop fucking with my son.
Smith addressed this on the podcast with Arenas, too.
Had he saidthatto me, then I wouldnt have been thrown off.
I would have come right back at him:Yes I was, I was talking about you.
You did this shit.But because he didnt do that, I said fine, let it go.
