After Stephen A. Smith’s silence during the tense confrontation at the Crypto.com Arena, it seemed like he would put an end to his attacks on LeBron James. Surprisingly, the opposite happened. Since then, the drama has only intensified. Even the Lakers’ star didn’t take a back seat. He added fuel to the fire by appearing on The Pat McAfee Show. What’s the big deal? If you didn’t already know, McAfee’s relationship with SAS hasn’t been so cordial. So, it’s safe to say that was a move by James. And now, with a recent viral clip, it just seems like LeBron is adding more weight to his side in the beef.

NBA community mocks Stephen A. Smith after LeBron James’ viral clip
“LeBron is assembling his media LeAvengers to battle against MJ’s media monstars/ Team LeBron: Shannon Sharpe, Nick Wright/ Team Jordan: SAS, Skip Bayless/Who wins?” read one of the comments. This fan was having fun, pointing out the same thing and asking other X users who they thought would come out on top in this epic battle. They even called the 4x champion’s team LeAvengers, a combination of LeBron’s name and the Avengers, the superhero team from Marvel Comics. Sounds good unless you see the next!
Another fan commented, “Lmao SAS and Skip on their knees watching this.”
“Stephen A is fuming,” added an X user, believing that SAS would be genuinely angry because of LeBron’s growing connection with Nick Wright. Given the way their debates have unfolded, it’s not hard to imagine why. This new dynamic between LeBron and Nick only adds fuel to the fire for Stephen A. At least, the fans would like to believe that.
Meanwhile, someone wrote, “SAS was right. Bron dont fw him bc he got Jordan as the goat. Not a shock bron likes nick who glazes him every chance he gets.” The fan agrees with Stephen A. Smith’s view that LeBron doesn’t have a good relationship with him because of SAS’s support for Michael Jordan. However, since Nick Wright consistently takes LeBron’s side in many debates, he is more friendly toward the Fox reporter.
