    Kind of eerie that his high school coach was Brandon Roy...

    well, there was a reason he dropped to #14 in the draft after consistently being ranked at or close to #1 in his HS days

    Definitely a fist and definitely intentional. Should be a ten game suspension, but we all know that won't happen.

    You honestly think that he was NOT swinging his arms to lose this guy, but INTENTIONALLY trying to punch him in the face? A player who has NO history of trying to hurt other players? Is it possible your hate for him and is team is blocking what little common sense you seem to have left? Honesty?

    I don't see it as a big deal. He hit him, probably intentional, miss a couple of games, and it's over. Stewart should learn from his mistakes too, hopefully. You can't keep going back for more, this ain't the wwf/wwe/tnt, or whatever they call it now.

    That dude ran through the tunnel to go get the Lakers…… Either he isn’t all there, or he was just trying to put on a show. Regardless he will miss quite a few games in my opinion. LeBron widely swinging his arms at him will get lost in the story unfortunately.

    Aren't you minimizing what he did? No bias there?

    If I’m the Detroit Lions GM, I would take a look at Stewart as my next starting TE. Just look at the replay running over people.

    Oh c'mon bro...he backfisted him right flush in the face and he wasn't blind when he did it...he threw a punch. He just didn't get away with it...I watched it. Lebron should be suspended for that foul as it was completely uncalled for and had a serious gash to an opponent's face.....if there's ever a flagrant 2 foul called it's this one. You can't swing at a player's head with a clenched fist in this sport.

    You also seem to be implying that I have little common sense. That seems out of line; especially coming from a poster I have always respected and admired.

    On another note do you think the Kings will offer Terry Stotts a coaching job?

    ...not so fast my friend! Seems as though LeBron fans have short selective memories:

    same as in boxing n mma, you are responsible for your weapons (hands feet whatever) and he is too.
    if you swing a closed hammer-fist hard at someone are arent paying attention to what you are hitting, that isnt an excuse if you hit someone.... regardless of where.
    i dont think he should be fined longer for the blood, but the intent and action wherever the hit lands is the same.

    not like dislodged a retina or lost a testi, but i can see why dude got very pissed and saw red, cause he literally was, but if he really wanted to fight lebron, the best time was right at the very start, but he didnt - it wasnt until russ started chirping away that he got bloodlust n wanted all the drama.

    Did you not see my opinion above. He was swinging his arms widely to get that dude off him. That not allowed and was properly ejected and should be suspended a game for it in my opinion. He PURPOSELY did NOT try to hit that kid in the eye. With my own eyes I see a frustrated player trying to get somebody off him Can’t do that, but to say he intentionally tried to punch him in the eye just isn’t correct. Had he faced up and aimed, sure. You must not have read my earlier posts. This is exactly what I said before.
