Lance Stephenson on why he blew in LeBron's ear


A quick reminder that these two - LeBron James and Lance Stephenson - are now teammates on the Los Angeles Lakers:

What was going through Stephenson's head while blowing in James's ear? Here's Stephenson on that moment from 2014:

"I was really trying to get him mad, like, really trying to win the game, trying to get him unfocused. And I was trying anything. For you to do something to somebody and they don't respond, they keep continuing playing hard, it's like … I was just trying to find stuff. I don't regret it, but sometimes I look at it like, 'Why did I do that? What made me do that?'

"LeBron was such a good player, you know. I was trying to do anything to get him frustrated. It's going to be different, just trying to be friends with LeBron."
