In a new interview with Pat McAfee, LeBron James discussed how his relationship with Kobe Bryant evolved over the years

Stephen A. Smith falsely claimed LeBron James did not attend Kobe Bryant's memorial service during a wildly personal rant on First Take. The post Stephen A. Smith Brings Up Late Kobe Bryant to Make False Claim About LeBron James in Heated Rant first appeared on Mediaite.

During said tirade, Smith claimed James is lucky the fiery host never brought up "why you were not at Kobe Bryant's memorial service," or that "you did not attend Dwayne Wade's Hall of Fame induction when that man was directly responsible for you capturing a championship for the first time in your career."
