Man?

Man?

Well, if we're going the full thing, including you know Lebron's post on social media, I tell you what, man has gotten extremely petty and has gotten extremely personal. And I didn't see this portion of it coming because both of them are knee deep in their profession and That's the part to me that it's shocking is because for all things people say about Steven A. Smith, one thing, for the most part, for the most part, for his long career being in the public guye he doesn't really go personal for the most part. He can say a lot about your game, he can say a lot about this, but he tries to keep it on the playing fields or courts of said sports. But when he brought up there, I'm not going to bring up that you didn't go to the Kobe Bryant memorial. That's when I knew, Oh, this is beyond. This is beyond just some uh, we're just having a little petty war.

Lebron is going on the ESPN, but instead of going on with the guy I got the few winning, let's hash it out on TV. No, I'm gonna go to Pat McAfee, you know somebody who is you know, new words to ESPN, and I'm gonna help his show. I'm gonna help his ratings, I'm gonna help his social media followings. And that's gonna be a way of taking another stab at steven A. And then I'm gonna talk back about steven A. He's in his tighties and he's on these one dies a little you know, tighty tighty white and going at stephen A and going at him, and then so to the point later on today stephen A talking about he's the type of guy Lebron that will put a smile on your face and put a knife in your back. This is going way beyond just the normal jabbage dude. This is personal. This is something that is clearly those two are gonna have to work out because this is real for them. And it's disappointed to see two brothers I know who are extremely professional to take what they do seriously to go this far because it's not where where does it stop? Lebron's posting little videos and steven A, you know, working out, punching and making fun of him there Stephen Ain's saying what he's saying.

Where does it stop? Rob?

Where does it stop? Rob?

And that's the thing that to me makes me go, well, now it's gonna because eventually, does steven A have to say something he'd been holding back in the chamber for fifteen twenty years. Does Lebron have to, you know, then do something, say something he's been holding for ten to fifteen years, like where's the line? And I think we have now across that where I'm worried it's gonna get it can't come back.

And I think we have now across that where I'm worried it's gonna get it can't come back.

I gotta say this and full transparency. Everybody knows steven A and I are friends. Okay, I'm not even gonna sit here and act like, Okay, we're friends, not TV friends, not friends because we are in the same business.

I gotta say this and full transparency. Everybody knows steven A and I are friends. Okay, I'm not even gonna sit here and act like, Okay, we're friends, not TV friends, not friends because we are in the same business.

I'm gonna I think Lebron James is totally unprofessional and I'm gonna say that.

I'm gonna I think Lebron James is totally unprofessional and I'm gonna say that.

And you can push back.

And you can push back.

On me that steven A is is going back at him and whatnot. But this all started where Lebron confronted stephen A in a in a public setting like warning this reaction, warning people to know whether you can make your point without having to do that. People can say, well, stephen A said, is on TV. That's what he does for his living. Stephen A didn't get it get by a TV station to rip Bronny. Do you understand what I'm saying. That's what he does. He works on television. And number two, Lebron is the one who won't let it go. I thought you made your point. Don't talk about my son. Whatever stephen A was there, there were no blows exchanged. Steven A said what he had to say, and now that should have been the end of it. Why are you continuing this? Why it doesn't make any sense. Lebron's too big for this and he's tackling one of the biggest guys in the media business. Stephen A ain't going nowhere. Guess whose career is longer stephen A's or Lebron's, and Lebron's play forever. But you can't have a forty five fifty year media career. You can't, and it makes no sense on Lebron's part. It's childish. You made your point. If you want to do anything else, pick up the phone, have a conversation.

I'm sorry.

If the roles were reversed and stephen A started, I'd be saying the same thing for Steve to stephen A.

If the roles were reversed and stephen A started, I'd be saying the same thing for Steve to stephen A.

I would.

I would.

Because he didn't start this. He was doing his job. Lebron didn't like it, That's fine. I got words for you, stephen A. Can you come to the back. Can I pick up a phone? Can we have a zoom call?

Because he didn't start this. He was doing his job. Lebron didn't like it, That's fine. I got words for you, stephen A. Can you come to the back. Can I pick up a phone? Can we have a zoom call?

Plenty. But this stuff here, and the.

Memes and all these other things and videos and common childish from a guy who is one of the greatest players who ever played. Concentrate on the Lakers. Concentrate on your team. Why are you wasting energy on a reporter that has no effect on your career, your legacy, it's a waste, am I right.

That's where it gets weird because at some point you would think, Lebron, look, if you want to play the game of who had the bigger moment, you ran up on him and you made you look you know, ooh, he ran up on him.

That's where it gets weird because at some point you would think, Lebron, look, if you want to play the game of who had the bigger moment, you ran up on him and you made you look you know, ooh, he ran up on him.

He looked tough. You could have entered it there.

He looked tough. You could have entered it there.

I think the way the back and forth this is happening is because Stephen A, the day after the whole encounter on the court happened, went on on first take and actually was like, Yo, I'm gonna be honest. As a father, I can understand, and I think you know, we talked about it on our show and I actually was shocked.

I thought he was gonna do scorched Earth. He didn't do, and he didn't.

I thought he was gonna do scorched Earth. He didn't do, and he didn't.

The problem I think in there, you know, and this is where I think he continues is then he's been on multiple podcasts since I should have did this.

Man, if he would have did this, I would have did it.

Man, if he would have did this, I would have did it.

And then Lebron is in his petty bag, Oh really, what would you have done?

And then Lebron is in his petty bag, Oh really, what would you have done?

So?

So?

And now it's just the bars back and forth, and and that's why I said earlier, Okay, well, then where does it end because now today Steve and they said what he said, you know, stabbing people, you know, he was stabbing the back. And you didn't even go to your man's uh you know, because now it's personal. You didn't go to your man's uh you know, ceremony, Hall of fame ceremony. You didn't go to Kobe Sting. Now again he had to retrack you. But my point is, now I've taken those personal barbs that you those jazz that you does Lebron come back and start this, Oh well, that's why you got fire from you know whatever like it is, so it should be over. And that's the thing because Lebron to be as great as he is, Lebron to be arguably in the contation if you want to say, first, second, third, whatever, to be the businessman, to stud all this. The petty is is actually it is uncanny, and that dude, you literally have it all. You have a beautiful family. You have your son on the same team as you with NBA. You have another son who's ball and looks like he's gonna go do greade in college. You have all these wonderful things, and it is perplexing because it's like, why are we doing this?

Turning around and going back and forth when you have the opportunity to just focus on trying to get your fifth ring. You got Luke on the team, you're trying to work on that. You're trying to focus on that. And it is unusual and it makes no sense for me for him to continue doing this, going on Pat McAfee show, doing an exclusive interview so long and in depth that he hardly ever does. This is why it's so perplexing and inn stephen A. Obviously, this is good for business, it's good for first take, it's good for his the steven A Smith Show, shout out to his show. So it's it to me.

And you know, Stephen a is earning every single dollar on that contract. Can you talk about already paying off in the first three months. Not only did he get this man to do an interview on his network that drew in everybody and had all these outstanding ratings. And but not only that, but now they're carrying it on during the rest of the week when they don't even have the NCAA tournament or baseball.

I'm good, I'm good man. I'm disappointing both of them. Dudes. Lebron is way too sensitive then number too a subjective? Why are you worried about that? And then he makes it hard from the roof on because he's so calculated. Because if you watch it, that Viga before he stood up in the pro stephen A Smith, Marcus Morris stood up between him like what you're doing though, and then he actually went over there like to kind of be able to stand between to make sure he didn't go too far. But I also agree too that you know Steve and Ay said the thing about his father yeah, that was supposed to be the end of it. But then still he's like the last call of say, stephen A went on all the other podcasts and now Lebron felt like he had to go back. And now stephen A coming out saying something and he's gonna get back because steven A pretty much started Jos stitching the day. Anyway, when we talk about I ain't say why you go to Kobe thing. I ain't say why you know? So you said it's something out there. So it's gonna get real bad. So he needs to squash because we don't need to see break taking.

That's the thing, Rob that I'm concerned about is when steven A brought up the d Way, the Kobe the stuff like that. Now it's like, now you you you are you really gonna let this go? Now Lebron, He's saying you didn't even show for you. Boy, you ain't even show for this. You ain't showed for that. And so now it's just to me where tomorrow or tonight even what will the next tweet or passive aggressive Instagram post be to keep this thing rolling?

I'm disappointed in this whole thing. It's unnecessary. Why it's unnecessary? Lebron made his point right when he went over to steven A in public and Antonio. You know this as a former player and everything. If you have something to say to somebody, you could tell him after the game, come to my locker, come to the back whatever it could have been done and handled.

Well, here here's my thing. Here's my thing with this, like I think, and now I'm on the other side of it, in the media side. The thing I've become cognizant of is not what I say, but how I say it. And I think that's important. So when Lebron comes on and he talks about, uh, you know, people are so critical of the league and so on and so forth, he has a legitimate point. You know why, because people say nowadays whatever they want to say, whenever they want to say it. Like you know, people in the media are very articulate, very articulate. So there are a million ways to approach and say certain things. Being critical comes with the job, that comes with the title. You both know that.

But what Antonio, I gotta say this. I hear your point. That's not why the ratings are down, that's not why people don't want to go watch him.

But what Antonio, I gotta say this. I hear your point. That's not why the ratings are down, that's not why people don't want to go watch him.

No no, no, no, no.

But they're trying they're trying to make it, but they're trying to make it about how people are saying.

And here's here's my pushback.

And here's here's my pushback.

First it was we don't want to hear from Skip Baylesses and the Rob Parkers and the stephen A's and all these people because you didn't play in the league.

But Bill Belichick never played in the NFL either. Go ahead.

But here's my thing though, that that like we're not talking about reddings and none of that stuff. We're talking about human beings. And when people talk about the way that Charles Barkley says things, or the way that Sequille O'Neil says things, it's not what they're saying, it's how they're saying what they're saying, Like, we have to think about that, like it's not all things aren't okay to say because they're TV and anytime somebody responds to it like they're they're sensitive, but they are a different way to go about criticizing the guy or critiquing the guy than putting the guy down, you know what I mean, putting the guy down publicly questioning the guy's fatherhood in public. But I mean, I'm sorry, I don't side on either one of these sides. Well this guy, that guy. You know, you can see points on both sides. The thing that I the conclusion that I've come to, especially now being a part of the media, is being cognizant to not who I'm talking about, but how I'm saying it. I don't feel like just because I'm in the media that I should be able to say whatever I want whenever i want to say it without any pushback because I'm in the media.

It's it's because if you follow forty five different sports pages and Steven A called you a blankety blank, it's on everything one of your timeline you just scrolling through. It's on your Twitter, it's on your Instagram, it's on your Snapchat, it's on your TikTok, and then and then.

There's a bigger thing in the room that people just don't want to admit. Most of these guys don't want to be criticized. I just they don't want to be criticized.

When you take a job, you're not working at the post office, you're doing the Pelicans games. And there are people will say he's terrible. I hate listening to the games. I turned the radio or TV off, TV off when he's on. That that comes with you having a public job.

It just don't.

It just don't.

Here's my thing about talking about public jobs. We can't only use it when it works for our narratives. Like I have people that call into the radio or Syrus XM show all the time and they always say, well, you know what, at Mike nine to five, I can't do this, or at my nine to five, I can't do that. We can't use the public job as an excuse only when it fits our narratives, you know what I mean. So here's the thing. Here's the thing, though, Rob, I've learned over the year, I don't even respond to that stuff anymore, right, I don't even respond to it like no matter what, because the ninety nine percent of the love I get will never shine over the one percent of hate that I get. I won't allow that to happen. And my mother tells me all the time, baby, don't let nobody feel your joy. I would never let that happen. Bus I know I'm good at what I do. But here's the thing. Here's the thing. You know what's interesting about social media? To Kelvin's point, if somebody said something to me on social media, and even if I respond back, now I'm sensitive. Yeah, now I'm sensitive. So it's almost like being having a public job.

Both be done with it? Yes, I think they should both be done with it, not just Lebron. I think they should both be done with it. You know many you got me pick up basketball games I've been at and I've seen somebody cast somebody else out their name and it led to a fight. But then I can go play pick up game a day or a week later when somebody else called somebody the same name and nothing happens. Because everybody's version of crossing the line is different. What's crossing the line that you wrote may not be crossing the line to me. No, crossing the line to you, Kevin may not be crossing the line to me, But it's subjective. What crossing the line is to each individual person.
