In a recent interview with Speedy Morman, Stephen A. Smith confidently addressed the confrontation he had with LeBron James, asserting that he had a strong support system that included Federal agencies monitoring his safety. He dismissed concerns about potential altercations with James, stating that he had a 330-pound bodyguard and extensive security measures in place wherever he goes. Smith emphasized that his value as an individual warranted this level of protection, given the financial contributions he brings to various corporations like ESPN. He also brushed off doubts about his ability to defend himself in a physical confrontation, alluding to a previous video that circulated online. Despite LeBron James' indifference towards Smith's claims, the journalist stood firm in his assurance of being safeguarded and prepared to defend himself if necessary.
