Stephen A. Smith was the first to report that Kyrie Irving blamed Lebron James for leaking his trade demands.
He then reported Lebron was so angry at Kylie for wanting away from him and Cleveland that James was contemplating putting his hands on Irving.
James pushed back hard on that second report.
Getting called fake news infuriated Stephen A. So much so that the ESPN loudmouth threatened to go nuclear on Lebron and reveal his dirty secrets.
“Sometimes LeBron gets on my last nerves and within the last couple of hours, he most certainly has," Smith said on his afternoon podcast. "And I’ll be the first to say to you, you better understand something ladies and gentleman and it’s not just applicable to me. It’s applicable to the great Adrian Wojnarowski, Marc Stein, the Ric Bucher’s of the world, the Chris Broussard’s of the world. We never report everything we know… We do exercise decorum and professionalism and we do make a concerted effort to try to quell whatever biases may exist inside of us as human beings. But I gotta tell ya’ll there are some moments when professional athletes literally tempt you to go nuclear on them. And I stand here before you today right in that zone with LeBron James. “What if I got into the REAL story of what happened with LeBron James against Boston the year before — or that spring when he decided to leave Cleveland and take his talents to South Beach? But we don’t want to get into that."
Sometimes @KingJames gets on my last damn nerves. https://t.co/XCwc4BhAAu
