But on a new episode of the KG & Stephen A Smith Show, the topic of LeBron James was raised, and he said he was reluctant to make the first move.
“If he spoke to me, I’ll speak to him,” Stephen A. Smith explained, before Kevin Garnett urged him to put the situation behind them and work togeteher.
Garnett wants Stephen A. Smith to work alongside LeBron James for the good of the black community, to ‘get us in the room’ to speak to US President Donald Trump.
“Hear me out, because you can do better together than against each other. Bro, this ain’t the time to be fighting. Lord, everybody needs to get on the same side.
Get in the room, talk agenda, and then march together. Sit down and hear what I’ve got to say. We need a group with the same thought and energy to go up and speak to Trump. You can get us in the room.
“Now, this is what we were talking about as a brotherhood that can help the Black community. Go ahead, Stephen. You’ve got LeBron James, you’ve got… that’s what I’m talking about.
“Crying over it and talking about it is a waste of energy and time to me, and it ain’t doing a thing for nobody other than us watching it as entertainment. Y
“ou hear me? That’s what I’m on. I’m on some bigger-person mindset right now. We don’t have proper representation for us. We came here to talk, but I’m saying some real stuff to everybody in the room.”
How Stephen A. Smith responded
Stephen A. Smith did not refute the points Kevin Garnett was making, and insisted he ‘would not run’ from his issues with LeBron James – but believes the superstar has been disrespectful towards him.
“It’s your heart speaking, but you ain’t wrong. But the here’s my issue. My issue is this. I finished telling you. I would I would talk to him if he wanted to talk to me. Anything he needed from me, I wouldn’t run from it. I’m over that.
“I am a guy that’s hesitant to roll up on a guy that I think has been disrespectful and has mistreated me primarily behind my back, but certainly at least once to my face spanning years.”
The prospect of Stephen A. Smith standing side by side with LeBron James to address Donald Trump may have to wait.
