ESPN analyst Stephen A. Smith said he would "spy" on Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James if given the opportunity, according to a Yahoo Sports report published Thursday. The comment came during a recent media appearance where Smith discussed his curiosity about James' preparation and routine.
Smith, known for his provocative commentary on NBA coverage, used the phrase "I want to know..." to frame his interest in gaining closer access to the four-time MVP's daily habits. The remarks were reported by Aryan Chadha for Yahoo Sports on October 29, 2026.
