25 Bombshell Moments from LeBron James' Candid Pat McAfee Interview (and 10 Quotes from Stephen A. Smith's Wild Response) | News | BET
The Pat McAfee Show just delivered the most unfiltered look at LeBron James we've seen in years, with the 40-year-old maybe-the-NBA-GOAT opening up about everything from his relationship with Kobe to the infamous Pat Riley cookie ban.
Over 90 minutes, King James dropped F-and-truth bombs on everything from his relationships with Michael Jordan ("We don't talk"), joked(?) about the NBA manipulating drafts, and yes—served up a silly and petty description of Stephen A. Smith eating ice cream "in his tighty whities."
Never one to stay silent, ESPN's $100 million man fired back with a 40-minute YouTube response of his own, calling out the Lakers superstar and claiming King James "doesn't like smoke, he just likes to give it."
Here are 25 bombshell moments from the interview (and 10 quotes from Stephen A’s wild response).
From LeBron's interview on The Pat McAfee Show.
And until I became a Laker and then [Kobe] retired, that's when our relationship became really, really good. He welcomed me, called me like, ‘Bro, anything you need in LA, I got you. You a Laker now, you family.’
Here are 10 quotes Stephen A. Smith’s response video.
- "Nobody, I repeat, nobody defends LeBron James more than that man. And look at what LeBron James did."
- "Nothing's more special than South Beach and that brother had me at South Beach four consecutive Junes. I was grateful to LeBron James."
- "I got nothing to say to him now. We'll probably never speak in life again."
- "I'm looking forward to covering him as his career slowly crawls to its end. And I'll be one of the first thanking him for the greatness he's put on display as a basketball player. I, like everybody else, will miss him when he's gone."
