Stephen A. Smith says he would have 'immediately' taken swing at LeBron James had Lakers star touched him in confrontation

The ongoing Stephen A. Smith-LeBron James feud has escalated.

A very public back and forth between the ESPN pundit and Los Angeles Lakers star continued Wednesday night when Smith went on his live YouTube show and responded to James blasting him on ESPN's "Pat McAfee Show" earlier in the day.

The crux of the conversation is Smith's coverage of James' son Bronny. James approached Smith courtside during a Lakers game on March 6, reportedly saying ‘Yo, you gotta stop talking s–t about my son. You gotta stop f–king with my son. That’s my son, that’s my son!
