The Los Angeles Lakers got bounced in the first round of the playoffs against the Phoenix Suns, who are right around the corner from an appearance in the NBA Finals. With the latest injury to Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo, players such as LeBron James have been vocal regarding the short turnaround, which could be a cause of the rash number of injuries.

While some agree with that point, there will always be those who disagree. Among those that disagree are Shaquille O'Neal and–unsurprisingly– Stephen A. Smith, who ripped the Lakers star on First Take.

While Stephen A. isn't exactly talking about the NBA start being the cause for injuries, he is labeling James as the “ringleader” of complainers, a jab at the Lakers superstar who has been the best in the league for a long time now.

Stephen A. goes on to name other NBA players as well, although LeBron is the main focal point of this segment. The Lakers star certainly has a point about the injuries, as it has been tough to watch star player after star player go down in these playoffs, with Trae Young and now Giannis missing time as well as Kawhi Leonard missing the entire series so far.

Truth be told, this probably won't be the last time that Stephen A. Smith rips the Lakers superstar to pieces, and it won't be the last time we have some comments from LeBron James, who has never been one to hold back his thoughts.
