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.
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.
God this board is an absolute trainwreck. Thank god for the Player Comparison board. The GB is just a bunch of children who hate everyone and everything but especially certain star players, LeBron being one of them. The video above shows clear as day he's not even looking at Stewart when he throws the fist backwards and is trying to hit the arm away that's pushing him. The absurdity in thinking LeBron was actually trying to start a fight by punching a dude square in the face for pushing him on a rebound is so stupid, especially when throughout a near-20 year career we've never LeBron try to do anything like that before, even after getting hit in the face and taking way worse punishment.
When did I ever say LeBron was a perfect role model for children? I disagree with plenty of things he does, including his silence on China. But in this case, yeah I'm perfectly fine being the reasonable one. You guys are all letting your preconceived hatred for LeBron force you into a really dumb take. Good luck with that.
If this board is a train wreck why are you here? Do you usually like riding on train wreck’s? And I’ve seen an angle where Lebron not only looks at Stewart before throwing but scowls at him as well. And I don’t think the problem is Lebron hate, but an inability of his Stan’s to look at his actions objectively
