But after his retirement, his off-the-court antics regarding the NBA universe made him a name to be continuously discussed on. He is always trendy and leaves no chance to engage himself in intriguing conversations.

Stephen A. Smith urged Jeanie Buss to trade LeBron James for some valuable assets for the Lakers. However, he clarified that it was not LeBron’s fault for the terrible start of the season. But it was just that the whole team is not in a good condition and they can go on to be 0-11 if things don’t change.

In addition, Smith mentioned that he’s not trying to devalue LeBron’s impact on the court. But he believes trading the five-time NBA champion is the most optimal solution for the Lakers and James as well.

Meanwhile, Shaquille O’Neal shared the video of the famous NBA analyst on his social media handle. He reshared the video of the NBA analyst on his Instagram stories. He seemed to back the words of Stephen A. Smith about?LeBron James.
