Lebron fouls Stewart, leading to Altercation Pt. Duex

[GunnerWRX]

Stewart got the Akron Hammer lmao.

Also, Lebron is flat out a tank lol and people say Bron couldn’t handle the 80’s and 90’s.


Can you Imagine Lebron playing dirty as Malone did in that era?

LeBron elbowed someone in the face then hid behind his friends. How does that make him a tank?

This is a joke, right? He practically hip-tossed Blake on the low block, unprovoked, got up, then simulated sex with him.

Two players got tangled up nothing dirty about it. I've seen Blake hit people dirty, and obviously Stewart has never done anything close to what LeBron did tonight. Playing hard and physical isn't dirty basketball. Taking cheap shots and unnatural movements to connect to someone's face is playing dirty.

So Stew 2 hand pushing/holding LeBron was just playing hard? Got it.

what are you watching ... Stew had one arm entangled with Lebron and the other hand was damn near on DJs ass.. we get it you hate Stewart and are a Lebron fanboi but jesus...

[eminence]

You don't accidentally hit someone in the face with a closed fist unless you're Joel Embid. End of story.

And Embiid deserved a suspension for that one honestly, extremely unsafe thing to be doing.

Stewart's reaction IMO shows he's not a stable individual, it was ridiculous watching it in real time. The league needs to force him to get some kind of counseling. There's a pattern here.

get the f outta here man stewart needs zero counseling hes no bitch he'll stand up against veteran players that tried to punk him thats detroit toughness.

[playaloc916]

Reminds me a bit of JR Smith swinging backwards at Crowder's face.

The view from above is pretty clear it was intentional. If LeBron was actually trying to break free of Stewart, he'd probably swing his arm downwards instead of giving Stewart a Ric Flair knife edge chop to the face.

On that rebound. Player's push each other for rebounds all the time. That isn't playing dirty unless you give someone a hard shove in the back or something. It's battling for position. It's part of basketball. I haven't see Stewart take a cheap shot at a single player in two seasons. He has frustrated players by being physical but he isn't out there taking shots at people.

[agentofatlas]

Lebron is not a dirty player in general but he does have his share of dirty plays. This was a dirty play by Lebron. It happens.

Also did Stewart overreact? I personally don't think so. The guy just got sucker punched in the head. His reaction is pretty understandable.

[GunnerWRX]

Lebron should get 2-3 games. Stewart should get a large fine for delaying the game, maybe one game out.

I think it is funny there are posters who are basically saying you can punch people in the face as long as you check on them afterward.

Obviously I have more sympathy for Stewart but you can't just fine a guy when he kept trying to get back at him.

LeBron is always doing this **** though and getting away with it, people are blind if they don't see it. Did he even get suspended for pushing Embiid mid-air?

Lebron is NBAs baby that's why he gets away with everything he has over the years. we will see tomorrow how far the nba will let him go.. 3-5 is what Lebron should get anything less and it's a message to the entire NBA that Lebron is untouchable.. people are screaming Stew went crazy after but Lebron started it and connected with intent, witch started everything.. so we shall see

Draymond’s face touched LeBron’s teabag and got suspended in the Finals.

You are not supposed to overreact when LeBron teabags or elbows your face. Just kneel and kiss the back of his hand.

You're right....my bad- 1 hand. He was literally called for a foul for pushing....which is why LeBron tried to swipe away.

[yoyoboy]

Wow, people here are ridiculous. This kind of stuff makes certain people come out in droves to create their own narratives in order to further fuel their own hatred. LeBron very clearly was annoyed with being grabbed and tried to hit Stewart's arm off him hard (which he shouldn't have done) but accidentally hit him the face. You actually think he was deliberately trying to punch Stewart in the face? When have you ever seen LeBron legitimately try to get into a fight? Way too image-focused and definitely wouldn't want to piss off someone that big, which something like that would be guaranteed to do.

Even without the intent to hit him in the face, the result happened, and so LeBron should be suspended a game. But what Stewart did is clearly worse. Absolutely unhinged rage that caused him to have to be restrained like 10 different times, and then he ran into the tunnel to try to beat the hell out of LeBron on the other end, all the while putting teammates and staff members at risk in his efforts. That kind of hotheadedness is absolutely insane and makes him a real on-court danger. I haven't seen a dude lose his cool that much since Malice at the Palace. If his teammates (way to go Cade) staff members didn't do the job they did, Stewart legitimately might have done something to cost himself his career.

Stewart isn’t blameless in all this, and his over-the-top reaction is the stuff of legends. But if things were reversed, and Lebron was the one with blood on his face, we’d have a 30 for 30 on Lebron’s perseverance through tragedy and tumult.

100% if LeBron got punched in the face like that this would have been a massive ordeal.

[eminence]

Both deserve suspensions from what I've seen of it. I never have any idea what the proper number games is.

I'm not debating if Stewart fouled him that has nothing to do with what happend. the foul was a basketball move, nothing dirty at all about Stewart pushing off trying to get in position for a rebound.
you call that a swipe away? if you can't see that was a targeted back fist hit to the face I don't know what to tell you.

[Michael Jackson]

Vogel is happy for the distraction, he was getting canned tnight 100%

Walton got a fan to puke on the floor hoping for a distraction to save his job and it didn’t work. Vogel is totally happy now though, the lead got buried by Stewart.

[VanWest82]

Stewart is definitely getting suspended. Lebron is probably not getting suspended though he should.

Watch the video from above, Lebron intentionally hit him in the face, it was clear as day. Trying to create your own narrative isn't going to change that.

Last time I saw LeBron got brushed in the face he stayed on the floor for a full 5 minutes.

If he got elbowed like he did to Stewart, I’d say he’d lay there for a whole hour.

So I'm guessing you didnt see the top view where Lebron looked over at Stewarts face before he swung while biting down on his lip after.. yea keep up with the narrative that Lebron is a wholesome perfect rolemodle for children and would never do wrong.

[Tustari]

LeShook James was peeing his pants when he saw Stewart breaking tackles trying to get to him lol! He was ready to feed Westbrook to Stewart. ESPN are up to their usual mental gymnastics trying to bend the narrative in favour of “LeBrawn”. Apparently LeShook was “trying to get Stewart’s arm off of him” and “not aim for his head” yet somehow Stewart’s face got covered in his own blood. Go figure
