Dwyane Wade is weighing in on the battle between LeBron James and ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith. “I love both guys,” Wade, 43, told TMZ in a video published on Wednesday, March 12. “I had a conversation with Stephen A. about it and I told him if I was LeBron, I would have walked up on him the same way.”

Dwayne Wade defended one of the greatest overall players ever when he sided with LeBron James in his feud with Stephen A. Smith.

Footage of Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James confronting ESPN’s “First Take” host Stephen A. Smith went viral last week. The Lakers were in New York facing the Knicks and James appeared to approach Smith with choice words during a timeout.
