The special co-host shared the anchor desk with her father as they answered fan questions. The first one read, "Do you hate LeBron James?"

The ESPN commentator immediately turned his head to the side after Samantha read the question as she took the mic to answer.

"I'm going to get clipped for this," Samantha began predicting that the clip would go viral (and it did).

"I remember Bryce James," Samantha continues, mentioning LeBron's youngest son.

"He's a great a great player and I remember Bronny James too," Samantha added of LeBron's oldest son, who plays alongside him for the Los Angeles Lakers.

"I remember I used to have the biggest crush on Bryce James like a year ago," Samantha says, which immediately got a head turn from Stephen A.

"So it was really awkward between Bryce and I when there was a lot of beef," Samantha jokes, adding that "he doesn't know" who she is.

"That was difficult for me to deal with," Samantha continued as she jokingly got emotional.

"What?" Stephen A. ask s, and Samantha quickly responds, "I'm joking."

The sports commentator wasn't having it and responded to Samantha: "You better be."

Earlier this year, LeBron and Stephen A. Smith had a heated altercation with the Lakers star courtside. It was later revealed that the four-time NBA champion was frustrated with previous comments Stephen A. had made about his son, Bronny James.

Stephen A. followed up saying that if LeBron "had that man put his hands on me, I would have immediately swung on him.'

LeBron later joked that Stephen A. keeps bringing up their disagreement.

"'He is on a Taylor Swift tour run right now," LeBron told Pat McAfee on his show.

Months after the altercation, Stephen A. shared that he does not have a relationship with the Lakers star.

"He doesn't like me, and I don't like him... if I never, ever speak to him again in life, that will be OK. And I'm good with it,' Smith said Friday on the Gil's Arena's podcast. "There's nobody that can mediate."

He continued: "All I would say is people don't know the things that have happened behind the scenes... things that have been said, who they've been said to. The kind of things that have been engaged in in an effort to hurt me, along with contemporaries and others."

Stephen A.  explained that he believes that LeBron misinterpreted what he said in regards to Bronny.

"And the last straw was hi m approaching me and turning the Bronny thing into something about me attacking somebody's family, when it was him I was talking about. Not Bronny," he continued.

LeBron has not reacted to Stephen A. Smith's latest comments.
