Lou Williams Calls BS on Stephen A Smith Report About Kawhi Leonard Calling Out LeBron James

It goes without saying that the Los Angeles Lakers and LA Clippers are the most likely picks to hoist the Larry O'Brien Trophy in June. Notably, the two Western Conference powerhouses have squared off twice this season, and the Clips have taken both contests.

Though they were merely regular season clashes, ESPN's Stephen A. Smith claims that a hefty dose of trash talk has been spewed between the two teams, particularly from Kawhi Leonard in the direction of LeBron James.

Stephen A. is one of the most well-connected pundits the NBA media landscape has to offer, but he is oft-criticized for his outlandish inside scoops. This particular buzz conveyed by the "First Take" co-host, however, wasn't berated by fellow analysts and fans.

Rather, it was Clippers sixth man Lou Williams who took to Twitter to call out Smith's assertions.

Don't worry, folks. Sweet Lou would eventually elaborate by stating that Leonard doesn't stoop to that level of banter -- that he is a competitor of the highest regard.

Williams doesn't normally take to social media to refute reports surrounding the Clippers, but he clearly took offense to Smith's "understanding" of the LA rivalry.
