Stephen A. Smith had a heated moment with his nephew, Josh Smith, reminding him who truly is the one of the money. Jos, known for his controversial takes and rising popularity across media platforms, found himself on the receiving end of a reality check from the sports talk legend.
Josh, wearing an outfit just as the ones of Bronny, claimed that his presence on television is solely due to the influence of his uncle, drawing a direct comparison to Bronny’s path to the NBA, which he attributed to the legacy of his father, LeBron James.
Saying “we are rich” implies that both nephew and uncle have contributed to their shared net worth, but the reality is that Stephen is the sole one working and generating the wealth.
Is Bronny James in the NBA only because of LeBron
He claimed his place in media is solely thanks to his uncle, much like Bronny’s path to the NBA being linked to LeBron James. The statement has created debate about merit and privilege in both sports and media.
LeBron James, drafted in the first round of the 2003 NBA Draft, has forged an extraordinary path through the NBA. Over the years, he has broken countless records and demonstrated dedication while playing for multiple organizations. His hard work have culminated in lifting NBA championships with three different teams.

Meanwhile, his son was selected as the 55th overall pick in the most recent NBA Draft. However, it’s clear that he is still far from matching his father’s legendary work ethic, mentality, and, most importantly, his game.
Bronny has only played 9 games this season, averaging just 2 minutes per game. To gain more experience, he has primarily been active in the G-League.
