Lebron vs Stephen A Smith: Rough N Rowdy

Another viral moment for LeBron last night...it's like he just doesn't want things to go too well. His team, soaring up to the No. 2 seed in recent weeks and finally looking like title contenders, goes back to his crybaby ways. As he and Stephen A. Smith were seen getting into a verbal altercation, some are speculating this was just his boiling point over the media's coverage of Bronny this season.

Okay, I'll give LeBron one point...as a dad, you should step up and defend your son. But my props stop there, as here’s the thing: this circumstance is VERY unique. Smith and many other media outlets have a job to get clicks, and the Bronny brand gets them. Also, to many, a target was put on his back by drafting him. It is quite rare to see a team use a draft pick on a college player who averaged less than five points a game while shooting 36% from the field. So there are many ways to look at this one. Okay, cool for defending your son, BUT did you not put him in this impossible situation? So does that not kinda make you part of the problem here?

As for Stephen A., we all know he isn't innocent and can really get on players, teams, and coaches. But again, it's his job that he is now getting paid insane amounts of money for.

Quick Mid-Blog Rant:

Dude, LeBron, you get millions upon millions to play a game so many of us wish we could play at the highest level in the world. Who cares if some dudes behind mics don't like you? Whether we say good things about you or not, you still get to play basketball as your JOB! Also, deal with it, man...are you not tough enough to realize that you do some really questionable things, man?!! Do you not remember the book interviews? Or the tweets? Or saying you might play in the NFL? Come on... Come on... you know the hate is coming! Don't be crying over this kinda shit.

Really, the truest way for these two to not look like crybabies and defend their job or their son's honor is a match at Rough N’ Rowdy. Barstool has a slot to fill with the Mahomes-Rocker fight falling through...it may be destiny. Many will have LeBron as a huge favorite, but Stephen A. has that wild-card ability to make you ponder this one. And as we know from game action, LeBron is not a fan of contact at times.

Maybe we could even entice him by saying Dave Portnoy & Stephen A. will tandem fight him...he has a shot at both of the big dawgs.

A lot of people are just tired of his antics, plain and simple. So many other athletes receive just as bad treatment...even his teammate Doncic gets a pretty big negative outlook...yet it always seems like Bron cries the loudest every year. Let's just see LeBron put his money where his mouth is. It's the chance to get back at all the mean things we say about him that hurt his very rich and talented feelings.

Bet Recap: 2-1 and almost a clean sweep.
