Stephen A. Smith has walked back his claim that LeBron James did not attend Kobe Bryant’s memorial service. The First Take host made the inaccurate statement during Thursday’s show while reacting to LeBron’s recent interview on The Pat McAfee Show.
Following backlash, Smith took to X (formerly Twitter) to issue a correction, acknowledging that James was, in fact, present at the memorial. The clarification comes amid heightened tensions between the two, as Smith and LeBron have been exchanging words over the past 24 hours.
