THIS IS ALL LEBRON'S FAULT 😳 Stephen A. POINTS BLAME for the media's focus on Bronny | First Take 

Stephen A is 100% right on this one... By lebron saying he wants to play with bronny , makes scouts automatically judge him different

He publicly tweeted that Bronny is better than a lot of “cats on nba pass” then he publicly stated that Bronny can play rn for the lakers and make them better…. It’s definitely brons fault, he’s out here saying Bronny is nba ready when clearly he isn’t with 6/3/3 on 37% from the field… let him play a couple more years in college to develop his game especially after that heart attack scare but bron is tryna force people to think he’s ready…

Bron literally said that his son, who isn’t even a starter on his college team, can play better than some of the current players in the league.. cmon now.

SAS spoke the truth.

You can criticize stephen a smith‘s takes all you want but he is on point with this one

Isn't Lebron the one that said Bronny could play on the Lakers right now?

LeBron doesn't want Bronny in the league for Bronny. He wants Bronny in the league for himself.

Bronny was never a 1 and done player, he was a role player in HS thats not a 1 and done player, true NBA players DOMINATE HS ball

Stephen A is 100% right. Bronny would always gets some media attention because of who his dad was but LeBron made it 1000 times harder than it needed to be with the statements he's made the past few years. And now in classic LeBron fashion he's trying to reverse course and displace blame. It's embarrassing that the son has been more mature than the father during this process

“Earned not given” is funny when talking about Lebron James Jr

Purple rain comment was genius Molly 🔥

Shannon’s makeup artist seems to overdo it every time he’s wearing purple-like they’re trynna match his face w/that sports coat 😭

I just have to highlight Molly's joke..."purple rains we have to rap this up" 😭🤣🤣

Bron was the reason why bronny is even in a college basketball team.

"You were wrong to put it up and you were wrong to take it down!" 🤣🤣

Shannon please chill with the purple bro😂😂😂

He started it. If youre going to leverage your media platform and position to get your son coverage, you can't blame the media for covering when it fails.

You can tell Chiney and Shannon want to tread carefully

Whole time it’s gonna be Bryce that actually goes to the league and have a decent career

SAS was 1000% right in everything he said

This is a good distraction from Kevin Garnett's comments about Lebron being on Juice.

“The Obamas” 😂

Hol on now! That purple theme got me feeling lean baby, ooooouuuhhh they killed it today with that!

“Purple Rain” 😂

That boy game booty LoL 😂

When Stephen A starts over complimenting you it means he about to run over you..

that last comment did not age well at all 😂

ALL TAKES ARE 100 PERCENT ACCURATE!!

Thank you SAS

Stephen A is on the money with this!

That button on Unc suit jacket fighting for his life 😂😂

These 3 have good flow. Keep them together

Did Molly question at the end ever get answered?,lol

Bronny isnt 6’4. Saw him next to Stephen a recently, they were the exact same height.

Stephen A is 1000% right on this...

Wassup with the Easter fits?? Lol

Just because a father promotes his son doesn't mean the media or anyone else has to cover that person non stop. When LBJ was in high school he didn't contact all the media outlets to cover his games. I have not seen one time that someone in the media blame the media for their coverage.

Love Molly getting ignored at the end 🤣🤣

Love the color coordination

Purple rain 😂 what a roast

Stephen A is spot tf on! Any all time great player who’s kid plays the same sport will be compared to the father but ultimately Bron saying what he said put an unnecessary spotlight on Bronny. Man just had a heart attack at 18, that’s gotta be a wild experience. Now you’re being measured against Cody Williams and Rob Dillingham types in this draft and neither the stats nor the eye test line up

Gary Payton, Dell Curry and Mychal Thompson are just a few that can say their sons also had success in the NBA probably more success than them

Lmaoooo why they ignore Molly at the end like that

Loving their attires

Stephen A is right..pure and simple..

Bronny died on the court and came back and mfs expected him to avg 20 a game smh

Just a moment to give praise to this color coordination among them. This violet/indigo look.

Facts 💯

Facts bruh lol u can’t say he better than some nba players then say others putting expectations on him. I don’t even count this year for him because of the cardiac arrest 💯

At least Lebron is not putting his son in a dress like Wade did 😂😂😂

Carmelo, Shaquille and other NBA players or former players doesn't put pressure on their kids like LeBron does 💯 @just let Bronny Ball LeBron

God bless the kid. I definitely didn't know anything about him playing basketball to come to the pros if not for his dad. Kid already have unwarranted expectation just being his son, just let the kid enjoy the ride and have fun with his friends.

Stephen A completely spot on here

SA spot on. Shannon will never go all the way in on Lebron

Facts!

Stephen A is so 100 and correct👊🏾

Those chapter markers are nice

200% right he ain’t tell no lies

LeBron was doing what Father's do, hype their son up. Did he go overboard? Yeah. But let's not let the media off the hook. They push this narrative of them playing together excessively even B4 the NBA season. They're the ones who was pushing the LeBron signing with another team to play with his son even though he said he was staying with the Lakers,. they're the ones who was putting out these scenarios of which teams would sign him if they drafted his son not LeBron. They're the ones even after he showed in college games he wasn't no where near ready for the NBA who kept up the narrative of he's really good despite what his numbers are showing. Now they're trying to wash their hands of it now. Maybe focus on other teams in the NBA besides segment after segment endlessly over the Lakers everyday

Stephen A on this one is a 100% correct on this one

Bronny: “who’s my dad? Stephen curry” Curry still got 5 years in the league

Please people and media said he wasn’t even the best player on his high school team, saying he was undersized. He’s been criticized since high school 😂

SAS nailed it 1000 times here and I don't usually agree with him, however spot on

Shannon be curving Molly bad 😂😂😂😂

With those stats I hope he's a heck of a defender

"Earned not given" lmaoooo

This is like Bethesda games Todd Howard declaring "it just works".

Yall notice how they edited out Shannon mentioning Lavar ball lol

Lol @ Purple Rain 🤣 😆

Last time I checked you actually have to put up some impressive numbers in college in order to qualify for the NBA draft. Bronny hasn't done that yet. He's barely even played in college because of his heart condition so let's all just pump the brakes on the whole LeBron and Bronny team up. He ain't ready

There was someone who use to be on Espn all the time and they used to say, "Don't Press Send". Lebron needs to take that advice. Somethings don't need to be out there for the world to hear, see and read. I understand hyping your son up and all that but look at the firestorm it has caused.

Stephen A a mellow dramatic beeyach

I graduated hs in 02 and avg 18pts 8 rbs 7 assist that lead me to junior college. Bronny avg 14 and thats D1 now. My class top player avgs was 35-28 points a game

Glad to see a woman who actually knows basketball

First time SAS said some real in a long time

Keep her on the show, great analysis

Who was Bron comparing him to Jordan Poole or Ben Simmons 😂

Great take SAS 100 percent

Purple rain 😂😂

7:30 turn him loose! 😂😂😂 he’s not even aggressive

Bron more worried about playing with his son for his legacy, than his son having a good NBA career

Lavar said this years ago. LeBron Jr. Didn't even start high school 😳

I agree and also one reality or truth and plan could be that they’re purposely dropping him so it’ll be easier for the lakers to land him or trade and get him. It makes sense once you think about it. And if he wasn’t ranked in the mock draft 2023-2024 then he’s supposed to start the mock draft lower than usual

Funny how when Stephen A was going in and about to take it up, here comes Molly!!!! ESPN said, no LeBron slander lmaoooo.

I don’t know many 1st rd draft picks that averaged 12/13 ppg in high school

Imagine if the GSW get bronny somehow 😂

5 points and you a second rounder... Yeah you definitely EARNED his spot 🫷🏾🤨🫳🏾🏀🗑️

7:11 He's averaging 5 😂

Lebron with bronny is like Lavar with lonzo coming out of UCLA

Bron was just doing his best Lavar Ball impersonation with his son giving him all the hype

Didn’t this mf say not even two months ago he would be better than some cats in the nba today?! HE SAID THAT, LEBRON YOU SAID THAT!!

Stephen a on the 💰 with this take

I think Bron should've just kept silent about Bronny. I mean yeah, it's not wrong to say that he wanted to play with Bronny coz everyone knows that's one of his plan before he retires. But the thing that he said about Bronny being better than some of players in the NBA impacted it more. I know it was more of a protecting his son from critics, but SAS is right. Bron have so much influence to people, and Bron knows that it could be transformed into more expectations and hate to his son. Bronny being the son of him is already a pressure or can we say like a burden to him as being a basketball player too coz people will have so much expectations to his son. Bron should keep silent and let his son's work to get his way in the NBA, let Bronny's work speaks for himself.

LeBron is very calculated and thinks things through…It’s a coincidence this comes out after the comments that went all over social media platforms when Kevin Garnett made comments on LeBron.

100% right

The obamas lol😂😂😂

SAS hairline looks fkd up on all levels 😂😂

Don’t forget that he says Bronny can play in the nba right now 🤣🤣🤣

Stephen and A and Shannon kind of ended this argument when they pointed out Lebron said Bronny could play for the Lakers lol
