While fans got a good laugh outta Lance Stephenson blowing into LeBron’s ear during game 5, others didn’t find it as funny.
Check out the reactions from Paul George, Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, Roy Hibbert and Ray Allen…
Via ESPN:
“I hope his breath wasn’t too bad for LeBron,” Paul George said.
“I blew in my wife’s ear before,” James said. “That was definitely a defensive tactic.”
“That’s the second time that’s happened to you,” said Dwyane Wade, remembering that Stephenson used the same tactic with James in the conference finals last season.
Stephenson declined to get into the specifics of his maneuver.
“Just playing physical basketball,” he told reporters and smiled, according to NBA.com. “Doing whatever it takes to get the W. We all played good. I’m just happy we got the W tonight. Just having fun and playing ball.”
Allen called Stephenson’s antics “buffoonery” that is just making “himself look bad.”
“As players, we just are professional, we come out and do our jobs. He’s young. He’ll grow up,” Allen told reporters, according to Bleacher Report.
Pacers center Roy Hibbert didn’t see Stephenson blow into James’ ear but said, “Lance is Lance.”
