“I owe him an apology”: Stephen A. Smith offers apology to LeBron James after heroics against Los Angeles Clippers

NBA broadcaster Stephen A. Smith has offered an apology to the Los Angeles Lakers and their star forward LeBron James.

The 56-year-old, in the recent past, made a comment before the start of the match between the Lakers and the Los Angeles Clippers that the latter side would be able to secure a win.

It felt like things were exactly going how it was predicted by Smith but James produced an outstanding performance and helped Lakers come from behind to secure an unlikely win over the Los Angeles Clippers.

Smith is now quoted in a report where he offered an apology to both the Lakers and James for doubting their abilities.

“I owe LeBron James an apology,” he said. “I just do. I just do. … I owe LeBron James an apology because look at what I said the other day to Shannon Sharpe. There is no getting around the greatness of LeBron James.

“On this particular mornin’ I have to stand down, and I have to say on national television — because even though I was talkin’ about the Lakers, I wasn’t talkin’ about him — his greatness was so sublime, so spectacular, I have to sit up there and pay homage and give major, major props to the one and only LeBron James. I apologize for bein’ — talkin’ about the Lakers gon’ get their a– kicked. I apologize LeBron James.”
