Dwyane Wade Backs LeBron James in Stephen A. Smith Dispute, ‘I Would Have Done the Same’

HonkMagazine

The ongoing back and forth between NBA superstar LeBron James and sports commentator Stephen A. Smith is still making waves nearly a week after it first caught attention. Recently, Dwyane Wade, a longtime teammate and close friend of LeBron, weighed in on the matter. While in New York City on Tuesday, March 11, TMZ Sports approached Wade to ask for his thoughts on the conflict. Wade quickly showed his support for LeBron, especially regarding his role as a father. He stated, “I would have approached him the same way,” underscoring his agreement with LeBron’s reaction.

This argument started when LeBron confronted Smith over comments he made about LeBron’s son, Bronny James. Smith, known for his passionate opinions, discussed the issue on his show, ESPN’s First Take, on March 7. He acknowledged that LeBron’s reaction came from a father’s place, not just as a famous basketball player. “That wasn’t a basketball player confronting me. That was a parent… a father,” Smith explained, indicating he understood LeBron’s feelings and didn’t take the incident personally. Wade, who played alongside LeBron for five seasons with the Miami Heat and Cleveland Cavaliers, knows how much family means to LeBron.

Over the years, LeBron has spoken out about wanting to protect his children from the intense attention that comes with being in the spotlight. This situation was no different, as he felt the need to speak up against what he believed was an unfair narrative about his son. With Wade supporting James, the conversation around this issue gains even more weight. Fans and commentators are now prompted to reflect on what this moment means in terms of parenting in the public eye. As the discussion continues, Wade’s position sends a powerful message that some things, especially when it comes to family, are too important to overlook.
