Based on his rep it May have very little to do with what he deserves.
Lebron elbows Isaiah Stewart in the face then Stewart goes after him.

would have been entertaining for sure if he would have tried to do that to Bill Laimbeer, Rick Mahorn or Ben Wallace..
not gonna change my mind. I've always thought Lebron punk ass bitch....
Dwight Howard is jealous everyone wasn’t grabbing and holding him Back
As someone who likes Lebron, that was as blatant an elbow to the face I've ever seen. He should get a a multiple game suspension at least.
i’m in the same boat. i’ve actually always mostly liked lebron and it was clear as day to me.
you can tell by the look on his face he’s annoyed by stewart. guess he thinks stewart was a little too physical on the block out but lebron overreacted massively taking a shot at him like that.
Exactly. No way Lebron wanted to cut the guy, but it was an elbow swing with purpose.
Any Pistons fan from the 80's would have called it "Basketball the way it should be played".
Wow, that was cowardly intentional.
NBA needs a few fights every once in a while. It's too domesticated now. Competition sometimes brings out the primal rage, and that's good entertainment.
Weak.
That's like saying that when three bank robbers took down a score and robbed a bank, they really only intended to take the money. Yeah, they had to kill three pedestrians and two cops along the way, but that wasn't their intent. They only intended to take the money. Collateral damage, ya know...
I’ve had to get stitches before because of a completely accidental elbow to the eyebrow, it doesn’t take much with elbows.
Some areas definitely don't take a huge amount of damage to have a lot of blood. First time I shot my compact 9mm (actually first time ever shooting a handgun) I didn't quite have my thumb positioned right and the slide sliced open my thumb. Bled like a stuck pig. I had a trail of blood going from the outdoor range to the bathroom. Someone probably thought a person got shot. Lesson learned that day.
Lebron hit him intentionally, and by the looks of it very hard. Dude was leakin'. I used to be a huge lebron fanboy, since he visited UK that one time but now I can't stand the guy. People are always saying it's him or Jordan as the best of all time, but in my book that's Kareem. Dude was a monster
Given his size, strength, and athletic ability; LeBron is the softest player in NBA history. Although it's sort of not his fault since he's been pampered and protected since about age 14.
AD definitely isn't doing anything. He let guys strip him naked and spank him in the locker room. If you let that happen, you definitely aren't up for physical confrontation
I guess you can only be called King for so long before you start to believe it yourself.
Ah ok, I wasn’t talking about the players. I was talking about the officials caring, and others watching thinking anything about it.
@UK90 players in any era wouldn’t overlook that of course. I was more or less talking about that shot being newsworthy and officials wanting to eject players of over it.
Stewart - baller that got pissed
James- millionaire
When it looks like there is gonna be a fight, who's ducking for cover?
Obviously if that was a PG, James would have stood in. But why does an older, richer, have-it-all King James want to RISK embarrassment, ever?
And thats fine! BUT don't dish it out if you aren't going to take it. His teammates shouldn't have to carry his laundry. Good on them for doing it, but shame him for going all LaBronnette so they had to.

That’s laughable. Stewart didn’t go ape sh*t until others got between them. When he had LeBron squared up for a few seconds he was calm.
Say what you want about LeBron, but he’s never been known as a dirty player. Still though, that was definitely a dirty play by him, and an easy flagrant 2 ejection. However, Stewart waited until LeBron was farther away and people were between them to start wanting to go after him. It was kinda silly…
James got a one game suspension; Stewart got two.

And those 80s pistons fans knew next trip down laimbeer would put him two rows deep in the crowd. That's why there were no fake tough guys back then. You took a swing, there was retaliation either by fight or foul.
Stewart and James need to have a charity mma fight where proceeds go to charity of their choice. No stoppage until one of them can’t answer the bell.
Looks like he missed with the elbow and you are right the fist is what caught him.
THAT has never been a play on. Never. Do that at the park during a pickup game and somebody's going to the ER. Do it in a game and at a minimum somebody's getting tossed. Dirty play. Is Brun a dirty player, somebody else can argue about that.
LeBron: Stewart 'graze' didn't warrant suspension
LeBron James returned from his one-game ban with a season-high 39 points in the Lakers' overtime win Wednesday night, but he wasn't happy to have been suspended for bloodying Pistons big man Isaiah Stewart in what James said was an accident.
Lives up to it perfectly last night getting two pretty young fans thrown out for I guess making fun of him. Even the announcers had a hard time justifying why they were thrown out.6
Too bad Stewart didnt get to pound LeChina into the ground. Wouldve been the best thing to happen in the NBA in years
They were being mean and hurt he’s feelings what was he suppose to do 🤣
