The NBA season is full of rivalry, but the ones who have undoubtedly generated the most debate are Stephen A. Smith and LeBron James!
Stephen A. Smith and LeBron James were recorded discussing each other early in Bronnie James’ season, and continued back and forth.
Now, analysts have once again sparked flames in the argument that he is not part of James’ criticism, in support of Isia Thomas.
He didn’t hold back as the previous point guard, who lamented the standards of professionalism in the NBA agreed to rip James for his “professional” behavior.
Isaiah Thomas recently made headlines when he criticized LeBron James for warming up before a shirtless match.
The standard comments quickly took its own life as others jumped into their take, as LeBron James was the norm for what was involved.
At that point, it was inevitable that Stephen A. Smith would also be involved in the debate, especially given his recent history with the Los Angeles Lakers superstars.
As expected, he returned to James and agreed to Thomas.
He states:
“It’s incredibly unfair to mention his words with the word non-professionalism and his broad brush, but if you are quarantining the incident that Isiah Thomas has done, it’s fair.
“You’re a guy with no uniforms and no T-shirts in a professional environment. You’re not a closed indoor practice. You’re in an arena where fans are allowed in.
“Professionalism is important.”
When players constantly talk to the media from the locker room in that state, it’s amazing that James warms up without a jersey before the game becomes this big issue.
Isolating the case to question James’ professionalism is not seen as debate at all as much as Stephen A. Smith reveals it because he assumes perfection.
Not an expert, Stephen A. Smith is guilty of a crime while interacting with James, and he spreads fake news and false information completely confidently about anyone trying to return to them.
James has dealt with how he deals with most of the “controversies” that have followed him in the NBA.
I look forward to it as putting his head down and ultimately winning will heal everything.
