NBA players appear to have mixed reactions to LeBron James’ recent courtside exchange with ESPN analyst Stephen A. Smith. Smith, one of the most recognizable voices in NBA media, has covered the league for years and frequently critiques James on a variety of topics.

ESPN's Stephen A. Smith says LeBron James confronting him last week was 'weak' and possibly was caused by James' son and Lakers teammate Bronny having a 'sad look on his face.'

James took exception to comments made about his son, Bronny, and spoke to Smith prior to Thursday's Lakers-Knicks game.
