    Hello darkness, my old friend
    He intentionally punched Stewart in the face. That's pretty obvious. No one "swings their arms" with a closed fist into another player's face to try and free their arms.

    It's unlikely he was specifically trying to get him in the eye.

    I think you quoted the wrong person, because you agreed with me.

    Don't drink at all ....that was not flailing...that was a backhanded smack to the guys face and Lebron saw where he was striking...sorry bro...and yes it does give me some joy that he's a Laker....you cant make a fist and strike someone's head in this sport...even if you think you're King something. Draymond Green would have been suspended for that move....no get out of trouble free cards should be handed out...this ain't boxing..he didn't slap the guy...he gave him a face full of knuckles.

    I thought with the video evidence there was ZERO chance folks would pretend like it was an accident. Live and learn, I suppose.

    Going to have to disagree Mr. River. I grew up playing sports like many here. In my many battles at the parks, I swung many times. I definitely needed to see where I was swinging to aim. Now I had guys hanging on me trying to get a rebound and would push and shove and swing to get them off me. There’s a difference. Bron should get popped for doing that but he wasn’t tying to hit him in the eye. Can’t tell me otherwise. You are wrong and I am right FAMS.

    Oh he didn’t accidentally swing his arms wildly to get him off off him…..he accidentally hit that dude in the eye.

    ha, I always want to call you "sir" like in some comedy movie there is a detective and a little old lady assistant and she always refers to him as "sir".
    Anyway, don't worry; the next time Slypokerdog has one of his secret polls on whether you should be banned; I will again refuse to vote yes!

    As a man with a temper, I recognize the pinpointed rage, but what you’re seeing is undoubtedly what the NBA will see.

    After watching the video... straight up screw LeBron, that was dirty as fuck. If you are going to take a swing at someone, do it like a man, standing face to face. Freaking pussy.

    I don't think it matters where he meant to hit him. All that matters is that he did mean to hit him.

    And you don't swing like that unless you intend to hit somebody. Regardless of the situation. Suspend please.

    You know that that's different: CJ never does that except as an intentional foul. Call them dirty if you like, but he never does them in anger. LBJ wasn't fouling there, he was just having a snitfit.

    We're arguably the worst "old" team (well after the Lakers, of course), while the Raptors are amazingly good for being so young:
