Charles Barkley calls Stephen A Smith 'lame and weak' after ESPN star fires back at LeBron James

Basketball Hall of Famer Charles Barkley weighed in on the feud between ESPN pundit Stephen A. Smith and Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James during a radio appearance on Friday.

Smith and James traded barbs in separate media appearances throughout the week. It came after James confronted Smith during a Lakers game over comments the hot-take aficionado made about his son, Bronny. Smith maintained that nothing personal had been said. Smith upped the ante by mentioning the personal issues he could have said about LeBron James but didn’t.
