For weeks, Stephen A. Smith and LeBron James have been going back and forth with each in which has been one of the more surprising beefs going on in the NBA right now. After James addressed the situation on the Pat McAfee Show and Smith responded on his podcast, the Los Angeles Star posted a video on his Instagram of Smith boxing.

Of course the next morning on First Take, Smith responded.

“That’s how petty you’ve become? … When has LeBron James ever done something like that? … This man is in his feelings,” Smith said. “I wonder why? Could it be because I don’t believe you’re the GOAT?”

Later on in the segment, Smith then brought up Kobe Bryant and Dwayne Wade.

“I never brought up really & never really discussed why you were not at Kobe Bryant’s memorial service,” Smith said. “I never really brought up or discussed why you did not attend Dwyane Wade’s Hall of Fame induction.”
