“WHOMP WHOMPPPPPPPP”: LeBron James openly mocked Stephen A. Smith on Instagram amid their intense feud

LeBron James has been busy even beyond the court, as he did not waste time mocking Stephen A. Smith after the NBA analyst’s recent bold remark stating that he would have been in a physical altercation if James had initiated. Both James and Smith have been throwing shades, and it has garnered widespread attention among fans, and James’ latest joke on Smith reveals that the feud is far from ending anytime soon.

LeBron James took to his Instagram to take a hilarious jab at Stephen A. Smith as he posted an old video of Smith throwing his arm while training. In the caption, James put up fourteen “burst out laughing” emoticons alongside a caption with his mocking tone, “🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 WHOMP WHOMP WHOMPPPPPPPP.”

The video garnered 529,952 likes in just an hour.
The four-time NBA champion didn’t hold back as he fired shots at the outspoken analyst over their recent feud.
The drama began a few weeks ago when LeBron and Smith had a heated back-and-forth, with James calling out the sports analyst for taking things too far in his commentary. On Wednesday, LeBron reignited the conversation during an interview with Pat McAfee, where he took aim at Smith’s dramatic response to their spat.
“He’s like on a Taylor Swift run right now,” LeBron said, mocking Smith’s approach to the situation. “He literally started off, ‘I didn’t want to address it, but since the video came out I feel the need to address it,’ like motherf***er are you kidding me? If there’s one person who couldn’t wait until the video dropped to address it, it’s your a**.”

James further clarified stating that Smith missed the point why the confrontation began in the first place.
“He completely missed the whole point,” James continued. “Never would I ever not allow people to criticize players about what they do on the court. That’s your job… but when you take it and get personal with it, it’s my job to not only protect my damn household, and to protect my players.”
Soon after, Smith responded by saying that if things had escalated physically, he wouldn’t have backed down.

“And let me state for the record that while we bring up that, let me assure you it wouldn't have gone down like that,” Smith said. “I would have gotten my a** kicked because had that man put his hands on me, I would have immediately swung on him. Immediately. That I'm not going to tolerate.” The back and forth feud has been a talk of the town as both men are refusing to stand down.
