Who Will Be the Next NBA Player to Confront Stephen A Smith?

Stephen A. Smith, a sports analyst, is known for making bold, dramatic, and sometimes controversial statements on ESPN.

As he often isn’t shy about making harsh, personal comments about players and teams, he’s had disagreements with various basketball stars in the past, such as Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, Stephen Curry, and, more recently, LeBron James.

For instance, after Smith stated LeBron shouldn’t allow his son, Bronny, to play in a basketball position he wasn’t ready for, the four-time NBA champion didn’t hesitate to confront him near the court.

As the ESPN commentator seemingly isn’t afraid to make enemies, many wonder who the next NBA player will be to confront Stephen A. Smith live at an NBA game.

Bronny James is Most Likely to Confront Stephen A. Smith Next

As the dispute between Lebron James and Stephen A. Smith centered around Bronny James, it makes sense that he is the favorite to confront the ESPN sports analyst next.

Smith has already stated he never wants to speak to LeBron “ever again in his life,” which could make matters worse when Bronny appears in an NBA game.

For instance, he might be eager to defend his and his dad’s honor and not think twice about confronting Smith before, during, or after a live NBA game.

After all, Smith made hurtful remarks about Bronny that ignited the argument, as he said, “I am pleading with LeBron James as a father: Stop this. Stop this. We all know that Bronny James is in the NBA because of his dad.”

Smith has refused to apologize for the comments he made about Bronny, stating, “You see, I don’t run and hide. If I’m wrong, I’ll say I’m wrong. If I’m right, I’ll say I’m right.”

Also, he proved there is no love lost between him and LeBron since the confrontation, as he said, “We don’t get along, and there’s a multitude of reasons why. I’ve alluded to them. But we know what the biggest reason is. I ain’t Shannon Sharpe. It ain’t GOAT status this way. My GOAT is Michael Jordan. I watch the game. I’m a student of the game. I know a GOAT when I see one.”

Draymond Green May Argue with Smith

If Bronny James doesn’t confront Stephen A. Smith, Draymond Green might. After the ESPN analyst told the Gil’s Arena Show he thought LeBron’s actions were “weak” and “b******t,” Draymond didn’t hesitate to call out the ESPN analyst’s comments.

During an episode of The Draymond Green Show, the Golden State Warriors center commented, “I think a lot of problems that guys have with media is… to call something that that man did b******t and weak. Like, those are words when we grew up, like you’d get hands put on you when we grew up in those types of words… Like calling another man weak? That’s no basketball, which is actually what Bron was saying in the first place.”

Rather than allowing the feud to simmer down, Smith threw fuel to the fire by referencing Draymond’s past physical altercations with various NBA stars, such as Rudy Gobert, Jordan Poole, and Jusuf Nurkic.

He said, “You sure you should be saying that, Draymond? I mean, you sure? That’s the words you want to use? We should be putting hands on somebody? Has that not worked against you?”

Of course, Smith is known for making controversial comments about other NBA stars who could one day argue back, such as Kevin Durant, Jimmy Butler, Jayson Tatus, and Luka Docic.

If you believe Jayson Tatum will be the next NBA player to confront Stephen A. Smith live at an NBA game, you could win $2100 by betting $100 if it happens.
