That dude had a right to be mad but also not to that display. He acted out of line knocking all his own coaches and stuff out of the way.
Yes, this is what I was thinking, Lakers had been losing up to that point, he got fed up, plus Stewart was playing unnecessarily extra physical on the boxout (plus Stewart was supposed to box out the other guy), and Stewart might have lost his balance and kind of leaned on LeBron, so it was his head closest to LeBron's shoulder instead of his arm, which got hit aggressively by LeBron. This is my interpretation: it was an accident, he meant to hit Stewart's arm but hit his head instead.
Throughout his long career, LeBron has shown he's not one to initiate or escalate fights, even when other players in his position would probably have in some highly provoking instances because he has a remarkable ability to not only keep his cool but also regain his cool when he lost it momentarily.
I think 18 years of clean sheet deserves some benefit of the doubt, but dudes just want to put LeBron in jail, smh...
I am a LeBron fan, but in a general basketball sense, not because he's my fave player, just like I'm a fan of Steph and Luka.
