Isaiah Stewart went from relatively unknown young player in Detroit to the talk of social meida on Sunday night when video surfaced of him trying to attack LeBron James.
LeBron James was ejected after what appeared to be his fist and elbow connected with Detroit Pistons center Isaiah Stewart, beginning an altercation that took a few minutes to calm down after Stewart charged James.
It all started when they got tangles up during a free throw in the third quarter before James dislodged his fist into Stewart’s face, drawing blood. Once Stewart felt that punch and saw blood, he wanted to get back at the Lakers star.
That was a mistake in the eyes of Gilbert Arenas.
He took to Instagram and told the young man to be prepared for his final moments in the NBA for trying to square up against LeBron.
