James and Smith's recent beef stems from a confrontation during the Los Angeles Lakers win over the New York Knicks on Thursday. A viral video showed James talking to Smith, who was sitting courtside.
Smith said on his podcast that James told him to "stop f-ing with my son. That's my f-ing son. Stop f-ing with my son." Smith also addressed the conversation during First Take on Friday.
"That wasn't a basketball player confronting me. That was a parent. That was a father," he said. "And I can't sit here and be angry, or feel slighted by LeBron James and any way in that regard. By all accounts, he's obviously a wonderful family man and a wonderful father who cares very, very deeply about his son. And based on some of the comments that he had heard, or shall I say, I think he thought he heard, he clearly took exception to some of the things that he heard me say, and he confronted me about it."
James and Smith are arguably two of the biggest names in their respective fields, so the confrontation was bound to draw some attention from outside of the sports world.
Now the two will look to put it behind them and focus on the rest of the season.
