Stephen A. Smith Calls Out LeBron James’ Camp For Seemingly Trying To Silence His Criticism of Bronny James: It’s Ridiculous! [VIDEO]

Stephen A. Smith is blasting LeBron James’ inner circle for allegedly contacting him over his Bronny James criticism.

The sports analyst addressed the issue on his self-titled YouTube series, calling out the LeBron “sensitivity” and claiming the NBA champ and his associates have a problem with his unbiased take on Bronny’s performance.

According to reports, Smith recently suggested that LeBron should step in to prevent Bronny from being “emasculated” on the NBA court, arguing that the Lakers rookie is simply not ready for the league.

Smith also appealed to LeBron as a father, pointing to Bronny’s performance in the Lakers’ 118-104 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers as proof that he needs more development before competing at this level.

It seems neither LeBron nor those close to him appreciated Smith’s remarks, as the commentator later revealed that people from LeBron’s camp had reached out to him over the ordeal.

“A couple of people texted me and pissed me off — and they know who they are,” Smith said.

“People close to LeBron James talking to me about questioning him as a father. C’mon, y’all. This LeBron sensitivity has gotten out of control…It’s ridiculous.”

Despite the backlash, Smith stood firm in his stance, maintaining that while he believes Bronny has the potential to prove himself in the NBA, he still needs more time to develop.
