Stephen A. Smith Starts Rumor About LeBron James, Bemoans That People Are Talking About It

Stephen A. Smith said on ESPN's Mike and Mike on Thursday morning that he "heard through the grapevine" that LeBron James may be dealing with issues of a "personal nature." Naturally, after the last awful LeBron James "personal nature" rumors and the recently concluded Pau Gasol "personal nature" rumors, creative minds lit up at the conjecture. Awful rumors about what Smith's awful rumor meant spread.

↵Well, Stephen A. Smith is sick of it. Or of you.

↵↵People are really sick. Ya’ll are fishing so much -- lying about what folks say -- just to bait someone into telling you stuff that’s none of your business. Pretty damn pathetic.

↵↵Come on, people. Just let Stephen A. Smith start wildfires in peace!
