Stephen A. Smith explained that young players didn't like how LeBron was talking to them.
LeBron James has been one of the most prominent voices in the NBA for a while now. He is respected by his peers and his work in the community just goes to show how much he cares about those who are less fortunate. This past week, LeBron was a large voice the league as players discussed whether or not to continue with the season in light of the racial injustice happening outside of the NBA bubble. While LeBron originally opted to leave, he changed course and now, games will continue as of Saturday.

However, it is being reported by the likes of Stephen A. Smith that LeBron actually angered some of the younger players in the league. As Smith describes, LeBron talked down to some of the younger players, who felt as though the Los Angeles Lakers superstar was acting as the king of the NBA. Simply put, LeBron's actions rubbed many the wrong way.

Smith's reporting certainly comes as a surprise when you consider LeBron's stature in the league. He has always been highly respected by other players but in this specific instance, it appears as though some may have turned on him.

So far, there have been conflicting reports coming out of the bubble, so it will be interesting to see if any of these attitudes or feelings are reflected out on the court.

Jordan is the Goat LaGay is just a Clown at this point. He will push his son Bronny through the league, bitching whenever the coach dosen’t play Bronny. We thought that Lavar Ball Clown was bad wait till Lebron starts

I already said this a few days ago, LeBron started to get into this stuff for branding purposes. His version of activism is Kaep in a Nike commercial selling OBJ's jersey. Theirs is marching on the streets. These young guys are into it because they're really about the cause, whether you agree with them or not.

There's no evidence at all that LeBron is respected in the league for his off the court activities. Since his move to LA, every time he opens his mouth about something other than dribbling the ball, his handlers instruct him to walk some comment back. There are plenty of thoughtful and intelligent NBA players and they know what we all do from watching him...he is not very smart and he should keep his mouth shut so more and more people don't discover that he is somewhat challenged.

LeBron isn't unique or anything though.

His activism is the same as other high caste liberals in corporate America. We're for the cause as long as we can just say nothing truly uncomfortable and upset no one. Sacrifice nothing.

That was the rumor like 10 years ago, then the guy was out of the league not long after if I'm not mistaken. A few years ago he I think he was homeless for a time being and had all kinds of mental issues.

Bron Bron is a 35YO that still thinks like a 17YO where most of these guys are 25YO that think like a 25YO

Lebby has the opportunity of a lifetime to use his "platform" to hold the AA accountable for their actions, parenting, and education but he's doing the exact opposite because the Dems are proud of what they created and would be destroyed if they pushed "Western values" on that group.

I think if Biden came out and said "You wanna keep looting and rioting? Might as well put on a MAGA hat while doing it because everyday you do it increases the chances of Trump re-election", he probably decouples the Dems/himself from all that and has a much better chance to win. Would be pretty brilliant as this is the main thing weighing him down right now.

But no way is the DNC going to go against BLM at this point.
