Stephen A. Smith says LeBron James confronted him over Bronny comments - Los Angeles Times

Stephen A. Smith has opened up about his beef with LeBron James. And let me tell you, it got pretty intense. And apparently, Stephen A. was so worried about his safety that he had to roll around with a whole squad of bodyguards and even the police. I mean, we’re talking serious security measures here.

But, to be fair, this kind of stuff happens in the world of sports and media. When you’re a big-time sports commentator like Stephen A., you’re bound to ruffle some feathers. And since LeBron James is a legend, things can get pretty heated. So it’s no wonder Stephen A. felt the need to beef up security.

According to Smith, “Everywhere I go, ESPN knows. Local police, FBI, everything… I’m always guarded because I’m an investment.”

Maybe it was just a precautionary measure, or maybe Stephen A. just wanted to flex a bit. Who knows? But one thing’s for sure, this beef got heated. And it’s just another reminder that when it comes to sports rivalries, it’s not just the players who throw down – it’s the media too.
