They right too. Only nikkas with bird brains and Bron haters not realizing Stewart just playing nikka ball and got his ass decked. On top of that, you don't target cash cows

You just cost the league money with that shyt.
Not really the Lakers are playing at MSG and that sells out for nothing. On the low the timing was actually working for them and probably factored into the 1 game suspension.

How can anyone look at this and say it was an accident...

Yall always trying to put a microscope on this shyt with slow motion.

First of all dude was doing too much, usually the middle man fights for a rebound with the guy closest to the basketball. But he's driving Lebron to the lane holding his arm while pushing DeAndre in the back. Weird

I ain't gonna call it an accident since yall getting so sensitive over description. I don't Lebron intentions was to hurt him and draw blood like that. This isn't the first time Lebron did that, swinging his arm out when someone tried to get physical. Usually Lebron is cool, and doesn't retaliate. He's always been smart on the court because he has a lot to lose in these situations, Bron plays physical back from time to time but he never put himself out there as a dirty player. 19 years of tape and evidence would tell you that.



Here's an example of Nazr doing a dumb take foul out of frustration because the ref didn't call the foul for Taj Gibson. Lebron swung him off him and Nazr retaliated pushing Bron. Bron obviously sold the push but this was very reminiscing of Jokic and Morris.

But look at how fast Lebron reacts, to me he's just trying to get free. Why are wrapping me up? Not even running full speed and it was 2 seconds from turning into a 2 vs 4 transition.

Playing it in slow motion makes everything look worst than what it is. Lebron's intent was to get Isiah off him. Not back hand slap in the face. And of course his fist was closed because when you try to muscle someone off of you close your fist. We have seen these plays countless times in the NBA

Brolic... Alcoholics
Was listening to the NBA radio this morning and someone from Rochester who knows Stewart's family called in and said that LeBron didn't want any real problems with that kid.

Apparently he has a boxing background. :yeshrug:

He was trained to be a boxer before he took basketball seriously. raised by Jamaican immigrants


“That’s why (Isaiah) took a liking to sports,” Sheppard said. “That’s one of the things Dela approved.”

Dela kept Isaiah in sports from a young age to keep him out of trouble. Isaiah started playing soccer. “I was pretty good,” he said. He then graduated to boxing, a sport that Isaiah deems as his first love.

Due to Isaiah’s size for his age, the 10-year-old was often sparring against kids two or three years his senior. His long reach and active mind allowed him to excel relative to others at the local boxing gym.

Apparently he hurt someone before, but…

“I don’t want to talk about that,” Isaiah said laughingly.

You can see the boxing influence in Isaiah’s basketball game. When you step inside the squared circle, it’s fight or flight. After, you shake your opponent’s hands and move on. On the court, Isaiah is a disruptor and nuisance. Already in his rookie season, he’s gotten into small spats with the likes of LeBron James, Dwight Howard and DeMarcus Cousins. Afterward, he answers questions from the press with the utmost kindness — “yes, sir” or “yes, m’am.” It’s a contrasting personality that not many people have. That switch isn’t always included.

“He always had to (box) against older guys to make it even,” Sheppard said. “Those guys didn’t know how to turn it off when they got out of the ring. They were losing to a guy three years younger than him. They were still mad after the fact.”
