Internet Reacts To Stephen A. Smith Saying He Would've 'Swung' On LeBron

The beef between Stephen A. Smith and LeBron James continues.

On Wednesday (March 26), James appeared on ESPN's Pat McAfee Show, where the NBA great addressed confronting Smith about remarks the sports commentator had made about his son, Bronny. The confrontation between Smith and James went down during the third quarter of a Los Angeles Lakers game earlier this month as the ESPN personality sat courtside.

James explained that he approached Smith because he believes his on-air comments about him and Bronny had gotten "personal."

"It's my job to not only protect my damn household, but protect the players," James said.

The Lakers star also claimed that Smith was on a "Taylor Swift tour run right now" as the commentator has repeatedly addressed the incident on his show, First Take, and podcast.

"He completely missed the whole point," James said of his conversation with Smith.

During the latest episode of his podcast, Smith responded to James' interview on the Pat McAfee Show, calling the NBA legend "full of it" and "a liar."

Smith also said he would've "swung" on James if he had slapped him during their confrontation earlier this month. The First Take host went on to say he would've "gotten his a** thoroughly kicked by the 6’8”, 250lb Goliath," but he would've refused to take a hit without fighting back.

Social media users quickly started sharing memes poking fun at Smith for his comments about swinging on James.

The NBA great himself shared his reaction to Smith's latest remarks, posting a video of Smith boxing.

"Whomp, Whomp," James wrote alongside the video with laughing emojis.
