"If I never speak to him again in life, I'm good with it" - Stephen A. Smith says he is ready to put LeBron in the rearview mirror
"If I never speak to him again in life, I'm good with it" - Stephen A. Smith says he is ready to put LeBron in the rearview mirror originally appeared on Basketball Network. ESPN's Stephen A. Smith addressed his beef with Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James during an appearance on the "Gil's Arena" podcast. Smith reiterated that he and James don't like each other and that he doesn't think anyone can mediate between them to settle their issue. Stephen A. also emphasized that whatever he has with LeBron is purely professional and nothing personal because, as a basketball analyst, it is his job to talk about the NBA, and at his workplace, there are directives to discuss particular topics and subjects. "I don't talk about him unless I'm asked," said Smith. "Some people say, 'Well, why do you talk about him?' Cause I was asked. This is what I do for a living, so how the hell do I get away with saying 'No comment?' I have no desire to talk about him at all." SAS says LeBron is out to destroy him According to Smith, James is the second-best basketball player of all time, behind only the GOAT, Michael Jeffrey Jordan. He praised The King for being an "incredible ambassador" to the game of basketball and admitted that his respect is "earned, not given." However, that's just for King James on the basketball court. Off the court, Stephen A. suggested that Bron is someone who doesn't handle criticism well and often takes it personally. Without going into specifics, Smith claimed that James and his team have been working to tear down the reputation he spent years building. "People don't know the things that have happened behind the scenes, the kind of things that have been engaged in an effort to hurt me. There's a lot of s–t that I know that I don't say. Then, to go on The Pat McAfee Show, which comes on directly after my show on the channel that I work on, to insult me. But if I never ever speak to him again in life, I'm good with it," the renowned analyst got "too personal" It can be recalled that Smith had Bronny James as content on his show almost every day during the 2025-26 season. To his credit, the elder James never paid any attention to what Smith said about Bronny's game or performances. However, Stephen A. got too personal with his now infamous "As a father, I'm pleading you to stop" statement. LeBron took offense with that and confronted Smith courtside during a Lakers game at Arena and said some things to the "First Take" host that Smith described as "aren't suited for FCC airwaves." That incident touched Smith's ego and triggered him to go on what James mocked as his version of Taylor Swift's "Eras Tour", trying to defend himself and explain his side of the beef. Then James appeared on Pat McAfee's Show and fired shots at Smith, which further infuriated the ESPN host. It has been five months since their courtside confrontation. LeBron seems to have moved on after Smith stopped talking about Bronny on his show. Stephen A. looks like he has, too, and only talks about their beef when asked. It also helps that he admits he's fine with never speaking to Bron again, since it's clear James isn't interested in giving him any more story was originally reported by Basketball Network on Aug 17, 2025, where it first appeared.

Dakota Johnson Reacts to Near-Wardrobe Malfunction on Jimmy Fallon's Show
Dakota Johnson recently experienced a near-wardrobe malfunction situation while on 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.' The 'Fifty Shades of Grey' actor made a guest appearance in a new episode of the popular talk show, which was released on Tuesday, June 3. As soon as the actor sat down for her interview with the show's host, Jimmy Fallon, she realized that she had chosen the 'wrong outfit' for the talk show that day. Dakota Johnson recently had an almost wardrobe malfunction during her appearance in a new episode of 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.' After she sat down on the guest sofa on the talk show set, she looked uneasy in her outfit. She wore a chic black mini dress featuring long sleeves and a deep plunging neckline. The daring outfit nearly caused a wardrobe issue for the 'Madame Web' actor. At the beginning of her conversation with Jimmy Fallon, fans could see Dakota Johnson saying, 'This is the wrong outfit.' The audience members, along with the host, broke into laughter after hearing Johnson's comment about her outfit. However, Fallon tried his best to make the actor feel at ease by praising the dress and her look. 'You look great,' the host added. Soon after, both Dakota Johnson and Jimmy Fallon tried to move past the situation and talked about 'SNL 50.' Although the two managed to have a normal discussion for some time, Johnson's dress again interrupted their conversation. The actor asked Fallon to let her know if there was any 'problem' with the outfit. In response, the host said, 'There's almost a problem. But not quite.' After that, Dakota Johnson went on to ask the audience, 'Does anyone have like, a blanket I could wear?' Jimmy Fallon then gave her a tissue to cover the exposed area. After keeping the tissue for a moment, Johnson removed it and continued the rest of the interview like a true professional. Dakota Johnson stars in the highly anticipated rom-com movie 'Materialists.' The film is all set to debut on June 13. The main cast also includes Pedro Pascal and Chris Evans. The post Dakota Johnson Reacts to Near-Wardrobe Malfunction on Jimmy Fallon's Show appeared first on Reality Tea.

New Yoker mural unveiled for Glasgow comedian Limmy
The mural, which pays homage to Brian 'Limmy' Limond's well-loved character Dee Dee and his quotable trip to Yoker, replaces an existing one sprayed by the same artist. Glasgow-based artist 'Tef' posted a video of them completing the artwork on the side of a derelict building next to the Yoker Ferry.

The quote from the episode where the weed-dulled wanderer takes an ill-fated trip to Yoker accompanies the portrait, declaring: "Am no fae here!" Dee Dee takes a trip to Yoker in one episode of Limmy's Show (Image: Colin Mearns) Dee Dee is a recurring character in the comics TV series, Limmy's Show. In episode two of the second season, he spontaneously takes a bus to the mysterious location of Yoker. He boards the bus and travels on the top deck to the area where, once he leaves the safety of the bus service, he has an existential crisis. In an internal monologue, the character states that he's "on the outer reaches here" before he enters a shop, Hair by Les Porter, and asks the owner if his name has always rhymed with Yoker. One local stopped to grab a photo of the mural (Image: Colin Mearns) Once the words leave his mouth, he turns and scarpers, thinking that his 'cover is blown' and that he's about to be chased and attacked by some 'mad zombie pirates'. The sketch has become a famous, quotable piece of Glasgow comedy, with the full clip racking up over 2.6 million views on YouTube to date. Fans of Tef and Limmy were quick to comment on the new mural, one said: "Absolutely class bro, Limmy go get a pic there." Another commented on the upgrade: "On a different level now!" A third comically quoted the show: "You've nae business being in yoker." Tef is known for his pigeon murals and street art dotted around the city. He also completes custom artwork and posts videos of the work on social media, amassing a following of over 10,000. Limmy's Show ran from 2009-2013 and has retained a cult-following in the city. Limmy now livestreams almost daily on the site Twitch, where he has nearly half a million followers.
