Former NBA player Glenn Robinson (l.) has offered to take his feud with Stephen A. Smith from the radio to a cage match.

Glenn Robinson wants to take the fight off the airwaves and go all WWE with one of ESPN’s biggest loudmouths.

The former NBA player has been feuding with ESPN commentator Stephen A. Smith and now Robinson wants to end the fight with his fists.

“We can take it to the cage,” Robinson said on TMZ Live on Monday.

“Let’s get it off our chest, my brother.”

According to Robinson, the feud started after a confrontation over one of Smith’s articles.

“He said some things about me in one of his articles and I saw him…in Denver and the guy speaks to me. A few words (were) exchanged and I ended up in his face,” Robinson said.

“It almost got physical and we all know what the outcome would have been if it got physical.”

Smith, on the other hand, maintains that the two started fighting after he accused the former player of favoring white coaches over black coaches.

“My issue with Glenn ‘Big Dog’ Robinson was not that ‘OK he didn’t play well and he got $ 69 million’ or anything like that. It was that I saw this man march lock step with what (former Bucks coach) George Karl wanted to do because George Karl getting paid $ 7 million a year,” Smith said on the “Karen Hunter Show” last week.

“But Randy Ayers becomes the head coach of the Philadelphia 76ers…you treated this man like trash, but you’ll come and talk to reporters about how brothers need to facilitate brothers being hired, but you had one and how’d you treat him?”

With tempers continuing to boil, maybe a cage match is a possibility.
