Stephen A. Smith Admits He & LeBron James ‘Don’t Like Each Other’, Accuses NBA Star Of Hiding Behind Son Bronny James To Confront Him

Stephen A. Smith is setting the record straight about his relationship with LeBron James.

During a recent Rolling Stone interview, the outspoken ESPN analyst admitted, “I don’t like him, and he don’t like me.”

Despite acknowledging James as “one of the greatest players who’s ever lived,” Smith said he’s committed to covering him fairly. “When he does great, I’m gonna applaud. When he doesn’t do great, I’m not gonna applaud,” he said. Smith also addressed past tension involving Bronny James, saying LeBron “hid behind his son” to confront him.

“The real issue was we don’t like each other,” Smith explained. “I got it.”
