The Wizards were ahead by a point with 3 1/2 minutes left in the first half when James drove to the basket, and Stevenson came from behind and swiped a hand out, clipping the Cavs’ star with what James said teammates told him was a closed fist before tumbling to the court. James kept his balance and stepped toward Stevenson, who got up and stepped toward James.
They exchanged words, but that was it, before teammates stepped in between.
“If we was on the park, something definitely would have escalated,” James said. “But, you know, I guess that’s what they want to do. They want to hurt LeBron James this series. It ain’t working.
”
Stevenson’s take?
“That’s how it goes,” he said. “It was a big game for us.
”
LeBron vs. DeShawn had been mainly an off-court rivalry, prompted in part by Stevenson calling James overrated, and extending to involve rap megastar Jay-Z and one-hit wonder Soulja Boy. James’ pal Jay-Z created a song dissing Stevenson that was played at a D.C. club this weekend.
“He’s worth $500 million, and he’s writing songs about me,” Stevenson said before tipoff.
“What does that say about DeShawn Stevenson? Ballin’!”
Now ladies and gentlemen, This is hilarious.
If you knew who DeShawn Stevenson was before this feud, AND you are not from Fresno, then you know BASKETBALL.
Stevenson still has his FRESNO swagger and attitude about him and thats why I love this. I think it is great for the game. However, leave the rappers out of this. This is an on-court battle, and that's where it should stay.
