Dan Patrick couldn\u2019t avoid replaying Stephen A. Smith\u2019s rant directed at LeBron James and Bronny James rant \u201cFirst Take\u201d during his show Friday.<\/p>\n
He imitated the tone of Smith\u2019s voice.<\/p>\n
He decried the somber tone the ESPN host used when describing Bronny\u2019s role with the Lakers, which only worsened Thursday with a 1-for-6 performance across 12 minutes during their win against the Wizards.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re not sending him to Afghanistan \u2014 good god,\u201d Patrick said on the \u201cDan Patrick Show\u201d during a segment. \u201cOh my god, I wasn\u2019t that serious at my mom\u2019s funeral. \u2018Stop this. Stop this. Pleading with you.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWow, if you didn\u2019t know the context, but I just said, listen to his voice, you\u2019d be like, \u2018Oh my God, somebody passed away. What happened?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
Smith\u2019s rant occurred Wednesday, the day after Bronny went 0-for-5 from the field and turned the ball over three times across a career-high 15:26 of playing time.<\/p>\n
The Lakers selected him in the second round of the 2024 NBA Draft, and Bronny and his father made history during the opening game of the season when they became the first father-son duo to appear in the same NBA game.<\/p>\n
But across limited playing time, Bronny has averaged less than a point, less than a rebound and less than an assist per game, shuttling back and forth between Los Angeles\u2019 main team \u2014 where he plays sparingly \u2014 and their G League roster, where he can collect more minutes to spark development.<\/p>\n
That all boiled over for Smith on Wednesday, and he said he was \u201cpleading with LeBron James as a father: stop this. Stop this.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cWe all know that Bronny James is in the NBA because of his dad,\u201d Smith continued. \u201cThe first game of the season, opening night, the Griffeys in attendance, father-son duo playing in an NBA game for the first time, an absolutely, positively wonderful story. And then reality sets in. We love what we\u2019re seeing from him in the G League because that\u2019s where you belong as you hone your skills and you get better and you legitimately earn \u2014 which I believe he has the potential to do, I am rooting for Bronny James.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt would be cruel to root against him. He\u2019s a wonderful kid, I wish him nothing but the best. But he\u2019s LeBron James\u2019 son and everybody knows what attention that brings.\u201d<\/p>\n
Patrick, a former ESPN host, complimented Smith for being a \u201cgreat actor\u201d and always adding \u201ctheatre,\u201d and he joked that the rant sounded like Liam Neeson in \u201cTaken.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe got into a basketball game,\u201d Patrick said. \u201cHe\u2019s not in Iraq.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Lakers, which sit fifth in the Western Conference with a 27-19 record, face the Knicks at the Garden on Saturday with a chance to secure an eighth win across their last 10 games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
