Twitter Reacts to LeBron James and Isaiah Stewart Altercation
Memeifying the moment.
Sunday’s NBA game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Detroit Pistons resulted in a bloody altercation that saw Isaiah Stewart elbowed in the face LeBron James. James and Stewart both received technical fouls and ejections, while Russell Westbrook only received a technical foul.
James was also suspended for a game without pay for the first time ever due to his contact play against Pistons star, Isaiah Stewart. This marks just the second time in James’ career where he was ejected. The first was back in 2017 when he made comments to a referee. The altercation in the game occurred with 9:18 remaining in the third quarter as Lakers were trailing behind Detroit 78-66. The loose ball foul has gained a lot of attention on social media, causing Twitter users to chime in with their own opinions surrounding the situation.
Fans have now taken to Twitter to do what they do best and memeify the whole situation. Take a look at some of the NBA fans’ Twitter reactions below.
