Stephen A. Smith calls LeBron James “petty” after recent post

Stephen A. Smith had his most recent response on the LeBron James feud, calling the Lakers forward “petty” on Thursday in ESPN’s show First Take. This comes after James posted a video on Instagram on Wednesday, making fun of Stephen A.’s boxing abilities. Smith said:

"That's how petty you've become. You're LeBron James. You're that butt hurt over the things that I'm saying that you would post that video. When has LeBron James ever done something like that? But suddenly you're doing that as it pertains to me. This man is in his feelings. I wonder why.

“I mean my god I have done everything but put diapers and a bib on this brother. But it ain't enough because one thing matters to him and one thing only and that's him being recognized as the greatest of all times. Well, you're not in my book. That belongs to Michael Jordan."

It was Stephen A.’s latest feud with an elite NBA player, as he once had a public feud with two-time NBA champion Kevin Durant after he left the OKC Thunder to join the Golden State Warriors in 2016.

Before the spat with Stephen A., James was known to be neglectful of criticisms, even disregarding them for years.
