This online altercation is the most recent development in the long-running conflict between the vocal analyst and LeBron James. They became more tense after James said Smith’s personal remarks went too far. According to Smith’s reaction, he wouldn’t have given in if the situation had become physical. What he said: “I would’ve gotten my a** kicked… but I would have immediately swung on him,” 

In an interview on The Pat McAfee Show, James addressed the matter, claiming the analyst completely missed the point. He said:

“I’d never stop people from criticizing on-court play—that’s part of your job,”. “But when it gets personal, it’s my job to protect my household and team.”

In the midst of the drama, James made headlines on the court by tipping in with a buzzer-beating basket to help the Los Angeles Lakers defeat the Indiana Pacers 120-119. Even though he scored 13 points, the game-winning play was what really got the crowd going.

The conflict is still one of the most talked-about topics in sports media since James and Smith are still vocal. Now, fans are keeping a tight eye on it to see how—or if—it becomes worse.
