LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers had every reason to be happy on Thursday night, but he looked rather displeased, and cameras caught all of it.
A video shared by FlightMike, per NBACentral, featured James having a very heated moment with sports commentator Stephen A. Smith.
It is not clear what they are talking about but James didn’t look very happy with Smith, and people are speculating about why.

There are many rumors about what James and Smith were talking about.
There isn’t an obvious answer but a lot of people feel that James was attacking Smith for talking about his son on national television.
Like many other sports analysts, Smith has spent a lot of time discussing Bronny James’s young career.
And, like many other sports analysts, Smith hasn’t always been kind to the Los Angeles Lakers rookie.
Is that what James and Smith were arguing about?
This moment came just minutes after the Los Angeles Lakers won their eighth-straight game, this time in overtime against the New York Knicks.
During that game, James put up 31 points, 12 rebounds, and eight assists.
It was the latest strong showing from the Lakers, who are now the second seed in the West.
They have been surging lately and look like one of the best teams in the NBA.
As for James, he has been dominant and recently won Western Conference Player of the Week because of his hard work.
But even though things are going well with the Lakers, James obviously had something on his mind and needed to share it with Smith.
It’ll be interesting to see if Smith responds to all the public speculation about this intense moment.
