00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:06,720
Speaker 2: This happened during the Lakers and Knicks game.

4
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:10,040
Speaker 1: Lebron got in stephen A's face and stephen A was

5
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:14,480
Speaker 1: seen nodding his head as Lebron seemingly yelled at him.

6
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:18,239
Speaker 1: On Friday, steven A addressed the confrontation on First Take,

7
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:22,279
Speaker 1: telling the audience that Lebron was upset because he stephen

8
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 1: A constantly talks about his son, Bronnie James publicly. Stephen

9
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:29,480
Speaker 1: A said the whole thing caught him off guard and

10
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:32,600
Speaker 1: that Lebron approached him as a quote parent and not.

11
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 2: An NBA athlete.

12
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 1: Stephen A said that he chose not to engage with

13
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 1: Lebron at that time during the due to the environment

14
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 1: they were in.

15
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 2: Oh really, well, she here's the deal.

16
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,199
Speaker 3: I had this conversation with my wife too, because she

17
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 3: asked me what I thought about it. I got three sons, Tommy,

18
00:00:56,080 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 3: you got two sons? Do you know I got that.

19
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 3: Stephen A has a job to do. Steven A has

20
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 3: a right to report whatever he wants support because once

21
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:12,759
Speaker 3: you're a public figure, you're open to public opposition. Sadly,

22
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 3: but yeah, but every nine and then God grants us

23
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 3: the honor of running up into you in your face

24
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 3: in the name of Jesus, and then and then you

25
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 3: gonna get it, man. So see, you gotta be ready

26
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 3: to I think Lebron has every right to say something

27
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 3: to stephen A as an NBA player and as a parent. See,

28
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 3: because you can't. You can't disseminate the two. When you're

29
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 3: a sportscaster. You can't go well. I was talking about

30
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 3: LEBRONI as an NBA player, you made very well, but

31
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 3: he happens to be the son of somebody too. Now,

32
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 3: when you run up into the parent of that person,

33
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 3: the parent got every right to check and say what

34
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 3: you want to say, because you had every right to

35
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 3: say what you.

36
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:08,359
Speaker 2: Want to say.

37
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 1: So is it kind of like when you say about Cleveland,

38
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: the guy they're thinking about bringing in as the quarterback

39
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:18,920
Speaker 1: or something. You said, I don't want him to come

40
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 1: because I know should do it.

41
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 3: There's a debate about bringing this. You do it, But

42
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 3: I love his father.

43
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,639
Speaker 2: Prime, Yeah, I don't want.

44
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 3: His son to come up there because because if it

45
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 3: don't go right right we Cleveland, We're gonna turn on

46
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 3: this boy.

47

Speaker 3: Oh, I got to refrain from saying anything about Secure,

50
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 3: which is probably the route I'm gonna have to take it.

51
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,919
Speaker 2: Because of my love for Prime, right, okay, all right.
