In one day, Stephen A. Smith not only gets a bag from ESPN but also a tongue lashing from NBA superstar LeBron James for comments made about his son and fellow LA Laker, Bronny James. The guys discuss the fine line between legitimacy of Stephen A.'s criticism and the protective father in LeBron. Where is that line when talking about grown men? The guys also dive into how good the overlooked Cleveland Cavaliers are this year and why being in a smaller market without a megastar roster is a massive boon to a team's success. Plus, the Golden State Warriors and Steph Curry are on a tear after adding Jimmy Butler to the mix - will it last? Plus, Las Vegas Raiders DE Maxx Crosby is now the highest paid non-quarterback in NFL history and why this new contract matters in more ways than just the cash. All this and more on today's episode of No Warmup.
