Anthony Carmelo and Dwyane Wade Be Honest About Stephen A. Smith and LeBron James Debacle

“I’ve crashed out over [my kid] and I will continue to crash out over mine,” Wade stated.

Following LeBron James’s widely shared altercation with Stephen A. Smith last week in support of his son, numerous sports fans, commentators, and other athletes have shared their opinions. On Carmelo Anthony’s podcast, 7PM In Brooklyn, Dwyane Wade and Anthony reconnected and talked about the circumstances. Due to their backgrounds as fathers like LeBron and as former NBA players who have previously faced criticism, the two guys had intriguing viewpoints on the subject.

The Miami Heat icon began by revealing that he had a personal contact with Stephen A. Smith and that there is ample evidence of his past friendship with Lebron James. As a father, I told [Stephen], I’m coming up to you. LeBron has never done that before. To co-host Kazeem Famuyide, he responded, “He’s always been level-headed.” “Seeing Stephen A. over there was too much for him to handle. First of all, LeBron treating you that way is a show of respect.

He clarified the significance of Smith’s platform and why King James should have responded. “The loudest microphone is yours. The largest platform is yours. You’re a Black man, too. You must comprehend where he came from. Yes, he has been above the remarks made about him by the Skip Bayless of the world throughout his career. He remained silent. That had significance. He thought, “That’s respect right there.”

Wade went on to say that the presence of Bronny James in the league creates a unique dynamic, leaving observers unsure of how to frame their criticisms. He did, however, restate that if he had been in LeBron’s shoes with regard to his son, he would have taken the same course of action. He declared, “I’ve crashed out over [my kid], and I’ll crash out over mine going forward.”

Melo added that more background should be taken into account because he believes that tension that has been building for decades is what led to this situation. This is the result of 22 years of accumulation. The 10-time NBA All-Star stated, “This has nothing to do with Bronny; it’s just that he’s now in the conversation and needs to protect his seed.” “Those two and those crews from the years of simply building up also have energy.” This is simply what happens—Stephen A. is doing what he has been meant to do for years, and Bron is doing what he has been doing for years.

I might not agree with what you said, certain things might be misunderstood, and I might now f**k with you. Melo continued, “I believe the energy is that we’re up against two titans in their respective fields.”

James confronted Smith on the sidelines of the Los Angeles Lakers vs. New York Knicks NBA exhibition game last Thursday, March 6, regarding his remarks regarding Bronny. The NBA champion is seen on camera warning the reporter, “Stop sh*t on my son,” in a firm tone.

The following day, the NBA expert replied on his own platform, saying, “What I would have said… “I was talking about you, LeBron James, and I never would have said anything bad about your son.” All of my best wishes are with Bronny James. I hope he succeeds and becomes a famous NBA player. He’s a great child, and I genuinely hope he’s the exception. He’ll be alright because he’s a rookie. However, I was referring to the role his father placed him in.
