“It’s like elementary school,” James said of the incident. “Lance told me a joke, I laughed and the teacher caught me.

“Keeping the main thing, the main thing. I understand how important I am to the team.”

It looks like he's smiling when his head is slightly down.

Maybe the joke involved Delonte West...

He just means he got caught misbehaving by the "teacher", when both "kids" were causing trouble. You know, how they never see the instigator but they see the retaliator?

Yeah that's how I interpreted it. I was just entertaining the idea that there may have actually been a joke.

Lebron is protected by the refs during play, he was allowed to shove Lance to the ground in the fourth quarter the other night with no penalty.

They can't protect him when it was an obvious shove after the whistle. Lebron didn't get "caught by the teacher", the "teachers" couldn't ignore the shove and pretend they didn't see it this time...

gotta love Lance. he keeps it interesting.
with the attn/sublots/intensity of this series, you'd think BronInc was going up against the vaunted PG/West/Hill/Hibbert/Lance/Granger squad.
oh wait, it's just Vic/Turner with a dusting of Lance's ICP routine.

Are you kidding me? Even if thats true and he shoved him to the floor. I also saw one possession where LS hell Lance Jr by the arm while trying to fight over a pick. Don't just pick on Bron cause you hater.

It's all hush-hush, the Lance Stephenson comedy special will drop soon, and he doesn't want any material making it online before then :lol:
