LeBron James reflected on center Isaiah Stewart chasing after him during an altercation between the Los Angeles Lakers and Detroit Pistons in Nov. 2021.
“He was chasing the s–t out of me,” James said during a live episode of The Shop at Fanatics Fest on Friday. “I’m like, ‘Get this big motherf–ker up off me.'”
“That’s a big boy,” he added.
During the Lakers’ 121-116 win over the Pistons in Nov. 2021, James’ arm hit Stewart in the face while they were boxing each other out. Following an initial confrontation, their teammates became involved before Stewart continued to chase James.
Both players were ultimately ejected from the game.
