Taking over NBA headlines over the past week has been the verbal confrontation between Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James and ESPN analyst Stephen A. Smith.Former Oklahoma City Thunder forward Gordon Hayward made a guest appearance on Run It Back with Michelle Beadle and called out James for the way he confronted Smith.

Ever since LeBron James suffered an ankle injury, the tide has shifted for the Los Angeles Lakers. His injury stopped the team from continuing their rally in the loss against the Boston Celtics.

Bronny James finished in double figures for the first time, setting a new career high in scoring to lead the short-handed Lakers against the Bucks.
