Did LeBron Deserve to be Suspended???

Ja'pheth Green

For the first time in his storied 19 year career LeBron James was suspended, but did he deserve it?

Tempers flared on November 21st when LeBron James “inadvertently” struck Piston’s Center Isaiah Stewart in the face. The subsequent turn of events ended in both James and Stewart being ejected and suspended (James for one game and Stewart for two games).  Watch the video of the scuffle and let me know if you think King James deserved his one game ban.

I’m certainly not a LeBron fan or sympathizer at all. However, I have to say that his part in the incident did not warrant a suspension. The two were tangled up and James’ blow to Stewart seemed to be an accident. At the very least, he flailed, but he definitely did not intend to hurt Isaiah Stewart. After the initial altercation, James seems to be focused on de-escalating, while a bloodied Stewart is determined to avenge himself! Despite being restained by players, officials, and security, Stewart repeatedly broke free and charged towards James. Stewart looked like an old-school NFL power runningback a la Terrell Davis or Jerome Bettis busting through holes and bowling over would-be defenders! I get it, he wanted to show LeBron and the world that he’s no pushover, but did he have to knock down all those innocent people? 😁

  1. Looking at the play, it did not really look like significant contact. Should he have been suspended, I don’t really think so… but the real question is how did he get one game and Stewart only get two games??? Stewart was absolutely out of control and escalated that far past what it really needed to be. How do you do all that and not get two games? I feel like the league was just trying to make a statement about player safety, but I also don’t think the message was that clear.
