Sometimes, the Internet is good for quite the chuckle.
That's what happened on Wednesday night, when a few basketball accounts on social media got into a discussion about Stephen A. Smith and LeBron James' sons, Bronny and Bryce.
The premise was that sports personalities had once said Bryce James would be better than Bronny James.
College basketball insider Jeff Goodman didn't believe it.
But then he saw this clip of Stephen A. Smith, a blast from the past that suggests just that, that there wasn't enough focus on LeBron's younger son:

That take may not age particularly well.
Bronny was better at every stage of his development than Bryce, and that doesn't appear to be trending toward a change.
It's not to say it's been easy for either of them. Clearly, there are tough parts to growing up as the son of LeBron, in addition to all the built-in advantages.
But this is just quite the entertaining trip down memory lane. Stephen A. Smith surely has plenty of takes out there that haven't aged particularly well. And unless something drastic changes here, this probably won't either.
