In the last two months, any mention of Stephen A. Smith on social media often brings LeBron James’ name into the equation. Following their viral confrontation in early March, basketball fans often lump the two together. The verbal sparring between the two has only made them more intertwined in the eyes of many.

“This probably why he felt so bold talking about Bron like that”

“How much you wanna bet he missed the shot?”

“Stephen A Wick”

Stephen A. Smith’s role in General Hospital has evolved since joining the series in 2007. He began as a reporter before becoming a part of mob boss Sonny’s (played by Maurice Benard) inner circle. The latest episode was the first time the ESPN host played a violent role. Although Smith claimed he never practiced for that scene, he proudly said that he got his lines right.

Smith’s James Bond-like role only added fuel to basketball fans’ entertainment by linking the part to his recent confrontation with LeBron James.


Stephen A. Smith claims LeBron James won in 2016 because the NBA gave him a “stimulus package”

The social media feud between LeBron James and Stephen A. Smith has taken another turn. On Tuesday, he had this to say on First Take:

“This is the sixth time LeBron James finds himself in the postseason down 3-1. The only time he’s won is when the league granted him that stimulus package and suspended Draymond Green.”

James and the Cleveland Cavaliers rallied from a 3-1 deficit in 2016 to beat the 73-10 Golden State Warriors. Draymond Green’s suspension in Game 5, which some thought turned the series around for Cleveland, remains a hot topic among basketball fans. The Warriors’ defensive ace was suspended for one game for going over the limit of accumulated technical fouls.

King James and the LA Lakers are facing a 1-3 deficit heading into Game 5 on Wednesday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Stephen A. Smith is confident the four-time MVP will not overcome the odds to carry his team to the second round.
