Stephen A. Smith to LeBron on Bronny James Playing NBA Minutes: ‘Stop This!'​

Bronny James is averaging 0.3 points, 0.4 rebounds, and 0.3 assists on 6.3% shooting from the field.

Stephen A. Smith had some words for LeBron James regarding his son's Bronny James' latest outing with the Los Angeles Lakers in a game against the Philadelphia 76ers.

On Wednesday's episode of First Take, Smith explained how he was going to keep things as "respectful" as he can and acknowledged James' legendary career before going in on his son's performance in the NBA this season.

In the Lakers 118 to 104 loss, Bronny James was on the floor for 15 minutes and scored no points but had one assist and three rebounds.

It didn't help that Tyrese Maxey exposed several parts of James' game on Tuesday night. James has shown flashes of brilliance in the G League, but he's been struggling tremendously in the NBA, and Smith has had enough of it.

"I am pleading with LeBron James as a father. Stop this," Smith said. "Stop this. We all know that Bronny James is in the NBA because of his dad. The first game of the season, opening night, the Griffeys are in attendance. Father-son duo playing in an NBA game for the first time and absolutely, positively, wonderful story. And then reality sets in."

Smith continued, "We love what we're seeing from him in the G League, because that's where you belong. As you hone your skills and you get better and you legitimately earn and I believe he has the potential to do. I am rooting for Bronny James. It would be cruel to root against him. He's a wonderful kid, I wish him nothing but the best. But he's LeBron James' son and everybody knows what attention that brings."

The legendary sports journalist then broke down James' stats, stating that he is averaging an abysmal 0.3 points, 0.3 assists, and 0. 4 rebounds. In addition, James has played 44 minutes and only scored four points, shooting 1 for 16 from the field and 0 for seven from three in 13 games.

According to Smith, James is nowhere near NBA-ready.

"I'm asking the greatest player in the game, one of the top two players in the history of basketball, an ambassador for this game, the face of the league," Smith said. "A four-time champion, a guy that's gone to 10 NBA Finals. One of the greatest we have ever or will ever see who is a basketball savant."

He added, "You know what these numbers mean. You know what it's going to do to your son, to people who are missing out on opportunities that are busting their tail on other NBA teams, in the G League, in Europe, and everywhere else, and what kind of opportunity they're starving for. You're exposing your son like this?"

During the postgame conference, Lakers head coach JJ Reddick acknowledged that James did not play well but still believed he would eventually find his game.

"Just him giving us energy I think was the goal you know maybe put him in a tough spot," Reddick said. "Flying up yesterday, nationally televised game in Philly and all that stuff, you know. He didn't play well but he's been playing great in the stay-ready games and in the [G League]. I have confidence in him but obviously didn't provide that at a high level."
