Lebron fouls Stewart, leading to Altercation Pt. Duex

Man that guy sure got emotional when he saw blood. What an idiot.

Anyway lebron obviously didn’t mean to hit his face. Was getting pushed and
swiped at his arm. End result is the same intentional or not.

It's not the first time this guy is losing it. Something isn't right with him.

Lol, that was basically nothing.

The only reason it is something is because of this incident. Otherwise no one would bring this up. It does show he isn't the most composed, but Blake is dirty they have bad blood etc... That was understandable. Stewart reacting to LeBron was totally normal too. How long it went on though was ummmmmm not cool. both need to sit a game for sure. Stewart did his job, got LeBron frustrated. His problem is he didn't know he won the confrontation and then went nuts and harnessed his inner Ron Artest (or piston Bad Boy legacy)

‘LebRon Arrest’ was the one who channeled his inner Ron Artest. If anything Stewart channeled his inner Emmitt Smith. Stewart shouldn’t be unfairly painted as ‘crazy’ when LebRon was the one who took the swing.

Look familiar?

Why would LeBron do that on purpose? Ok he got ejected for it..then what. Then what he gets 1 more game?

Regardless, what Stewart did was way worse. You can't have that happening. Multiple games.

I think Stewart's 2nd and 3rd charges into the Lakers players were not directed at Lebron but at the likes of DAJ, Rondo, and Westbrook who were running their mouths quite a bit. Honestly, Westbrook was definitely trying to escalate things there.

If just find it funny LeBron starts backing up to keep at least a 30 foot separation between him and Stewart even tho there's like a million people between them.

So what you want him to do? Throw himself into a fight for what? That's foolish if you're a top tier star in the league.

I think it's plainly obvious from the video that Lebron meant to hit him. You don't close your fist and swing at someone if you're not trying to hit them. Did he mean to punch him in the face? That part is unclear though I'm not sure it matters.

I agree Stewart should be suspended. His reaction was way over the top but he also got punched in the face and clearly whatever Bron said to him afterward only antagonized him further. They both should be suspended.

Yeah man I swipe at people all the time.

I mean some people call it punching but I just call it swiping. They are all like, you balled up your fist and punched me in the head and I'm like nah man some dude on the internet said it's just "swiping". Don't get mad, or I might swipe you in the head some more.

Come on LeBron. It's true you aren't normally that guy, but admit this was intentional.

It will be nice to finally see Lebron James, after so many years of his utter flaming douchery, getting suspended by the NBA for something. Makes sense that he's increasingly resorting to these tactics as the decline accelerates and his reputation waffles.

Hopefully Stewart's punishment is only 25-50% of Bron's.

This could be the culmination of the LeBron heel turn that started with his comments on China.

He can change his name to Hollywood King James and start wearing all black and change his intro music.

The poll question is phrased poorly.

Did Lebron intentionally hit Stewart? yes
Did Lebron mean to hit Stewart with his elbow? yes
Did Lebron mean to hit Stewart in the face? likely no (he was facing away)
Did Lebron mean to hit Stewart with his fist in the backswing of the elbow? unknown

I think the end result of this is that they both get suspended.

Stewart for 4 games because they don't want a repeat of this in 4 games when the Lakers host the Pistons again. Lebron because I don't think you can really ignore the blood streaming down from Stewart's face. Also it wouldn't make a lot of sense for Stewart to get a bigger suspension than Lebron given Lebron was the one to throw the elbow/punch thing.

Then again Lebron plays by different rules so who knows?

Loose ball foul on Stewart. One hand or two, Lebron didn't like getting illegally pushed off the block.

But what he did was a reckless "get off me" move not a calculated aimed punch, as some are suggesting.

It's called "boxing out". Keep trying.

What I mean is there was literally a loose ball foul called on Stewart. Watch the game. Read the Play by play. Start trying.

The narrative I have gotten from some members of the media are pushing is that Stewart should get suspended more games because of his reaction even though Lebron clearly punched him. I have to say this narrative is very stupid. You can't suspended Stewart more games based off of reaction. Lebron was the instigator. He started the mess and for him to get off lightly is setting a bad precedent. It sends the message other guys can just punch someone and then if they act calm they will only get light punishment while the victim gets more punishment for reacting.

If the league and media is truly frightened a brawl can happen next Sunday then just suspend both Lebron and Stewart for that game.

LeBron haters out in full effect trying to call for his suspension. If it wasn't for all the blood or Stewart's insane reaction, this would have been a whole lot of nothing.

LeBron intended to swing back.. sure. But intended hit him in the face? Nah that ain't Bron. No need to suspend for it. That feels overboard.

Stewart going crazy like he did could warrant a suspension given how long he kept it going for and how many people he was running over in the process. But even then, I wouldn't advocate for him getting suspended either although I'd understand if they did in order send a message you don't react that way no matter the situation.

Brawn was actually trying to fondle Stewart but because Stewart absolutely refused and pushed back it changed the centrifugal force of the initial fondle into an accidental elbow to the corner of Stewart's eye.

The extent LeStan's will go to in order to cover for their hero is highly amusing. I thank all of them in this thread for many priceless moments. But don't let me stop you. PLEASE continue...

Hilarious. Been a Laker fan since '87. Lebron doesn't crack any of my personal favorite lists of any category.

When are people gonna learn that when you adopt and push terms like "LeStan" on random people you don't even know you only expose yourself as being just as obsessed as the people you are trying to criticize.

Stephen A Smith is saying suspend Stewart more because he could have hurt his teammates and Piston coaches who are older men - Wouldn't that be up to the Piston's organization to handle internally if they had issue with him in that regard? I mean suspend Stewart for not leaving the court in a timely manner if you want to suspend him, but doing so because he was a danger/risk to his own team is pretty ridiculous.

Pushing someone like that isn't boxing out...its simply pushing. It happens almost every play and the same as LeBron's "get off me" response but still...that wasn't a box out.
