i'd give lebron 1 game. or maybe 2 for lebron and 1 for stewart.
I understand you got hit in the face, but you have to react better than that.

That would be crazy if some young "nobody" player ends the career of the king, an icon, a top 5 player at least All time. That would be worth a lifetime ban probably.
Has a player ever suffered a career ending injury from a intentional act?
Tbh, something like this happening seems totally plausible judging by stewart's reaction. Not necessarily next game but sometime when they cross paths.

nothing is happening. He had Lebron in his face when this thing was fresh and he waited till there were bodies between them to go berserk. They are all hold me back merchants.

Bleeding probably caused his reaction + the queen shouting back.

****LeBron punches somebody in the face
People- "Lebron is such a thug kick him out of the NBA"
No it's more like he sucker punches a 20 yr old cause he got upset at him for fighting for position.
That's not a man.
If someone insults say his wife and then he throws hands that's different.
Dramatic. He swiped him off and looks like he went for a clear out and accidentally ended up hitting his head, he even went over to give him a hand up immediately after he did it.
If Stewart didn't act like a psychopath this whole thing would be a non story.

Ive seen guys get hit in the face by elbows on careless plays many times. It's usually just a flagrant. This is blowing up because of Stewart's reaction, not the actual elbow. You guys seriously think Lebron wanted to hit Stewart in the head? TF is the motivation?

Your whole post lost creditability when you keep saying LeBron accidentally hit him with an elbow. I swear ppl aren't even watching the videos. It's clear as day it's with a closed fist. Look at the above replay. If you can't even get that right who will take your reasoning seriously?

Other than having blood wiped off his arm in the 2nd quarter from possibly a scratch, I didn’t see anything leading up to the play
I did notice he was still limping from twisting his ankle not long ago and it’s quite impressive how he was able to block/affect a few shots by AD and DAJ despite it.
I also noticed the guy never touches the ball unless he grabs a rebound. That alone would make me want to go after someone
But let’s be honest, someone punches you in the eye hard enough to draw blood and then very likely has something unapologetic to say and I can understand his initial reaction.
The only issue I have with Stewart was his 2nd and 3rd attempt and it warrants a 1 game suspension only because of where it was and the history of that crowd
I’d slap Lebron with a 2-3 game suspension, he’s got away with so much over the years, it’s about time the rules start applying to him too

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.
