Trash talking in sport is nothing new, but a feud between an active player and a broadcaster has swept the basketball world.
Stephen A. Smith of ESPN has occasionally overflowed an opinion about mixed martial arts, despite the fact that basketball was his most important focus.
Whether it praised Smith Jon Jones, despite the criticism around him or challenge a hot take that Logan Paul Conor McGregor would defeat, he always creates headlines.
Michael Chandler recently gave his opinion about McGregor's career update that was booked to fight him on UFC 303 until 'the notorious' withdrew due to an injury.
At the same time, 'Iron' Weighed Mike with his opinion about the feud that Smith has been involved in this month.
Michael Chandler says that Stephen A. Smith is no way to touch LeBron James
After a confrontation between them on the field, the largest NBA conversation point in March is the rivalry between LeBron James and Stephen A. Smith.
De Veke started when James Smith approached and was critical about the way he talks about James' son Bonny who was also signed with the Los Angeles Lakers.
Since then, both Smith and James have gone back and forth through serious performances at other shows and social media messages.
At one point, 57-year-old Smith claimed that he would have “swam” if the NBA-Superster had touched him during their confrontation after he initially stated that he understood why he was upset.
James's comic reaction saw him post a well -known video on Instagram by Smith, which hit pads in boxing gloves without further statements.
In a recent interview with the SchMO, Michael Chandler gave his opinion about what would happen if there was a form of physical fight between James and the ESPN broadcaster.
It is not surprising that he predicted that it would be one -way traffic for the 6'9 “of all time.
“Of course we saw Stephen A. Smith's hands, I have not seen LeBron's hands, but only LeBron is an athlete, which is currently still competing, although it is in basketball sport, there is no way in which Stephen A. Smith LeBron James touches, but we will see. Smith has to work here and work with us.”
Michael Chandler is good at home to get the most out of his time on the microphone
Although Stephen A. Smith is certainly a controversial character, he clearly knows what to say to create a reaction from the audience.
This is something Michael Chandler has become known for in the UFC, even if some fans do not particularly love some things he says on the microphone.
Chandler has been able to take advantage of his moments in the spotlight and he plans to do exactly that on UFC 314 against Paddy Pimblett after evaluating his own promotion options in the same interview.
“I am pretty up there, I think. I think it is if you want to be interesting, you have to be interested and know what you are going to say, at least a skeleton or bullet points of what you want to say at the moment. I have already visualized to Knock-Out Paddy Pimblett, a few of the call-outs, a few things I say.”
