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.

Kalpee Honors Heritage and Heart on His Emotion-Rich New EP Dougla Boi

Kalpee

Kalpee is back with Dougla Boi, a beautiful new EP that is both personal and powerful. It gives listeners a close look at the layers of identity, heritage, and emotion that make him who he is. The Trinidad and Tobago artist is confident in his own space, which is rooted in New Calypso and polished with hints of dancehall, R&B, and afrobeats. In this space, genre bends, but emotion leads.

Named after the Trinidadian word for someone of mixed African and Indian heritage, Dougla Boi is honest, proud, and warm about the complexities of culture. Kalpee opens a window into the dualities that define him across six tracks, turning personal truth into universal resonance. The EP is just under 19 minutes long, but every second is carefully planned to take listeners on a journey through courage, joy, healing, and the quiet strength that comes from accepting all parts of yourself.

The first single, “Under,” stands out right away for its calming yet emotionally charged experience. Kalpee’s voice flows over a beat that sounds both new and old, fitting the EP’s theme of bringing cultures together. It’s one of the best examples of how he can mix soft and hard sounds, which is what makes his New Calypso sound so unique.

“Everybody,” which features Full Blown, is another excellent song that has already done very well. It has a happy vibe and an infectious bounce, making it one of the EP’s most replayable songs. “Everybody” captures the spirit of community and shared experience, which is what Kalpee means when he says that identity is not a box but a rhythm.
