There's at least some precedent for players entering the huddles of
opponents. I'm not sure there's much basis for Stephenson blowing into
the ear of LeBron James as if he were a cartoon mosquito:
If you choose to go with only the most sober analysis,
then the Indiana Pacers beat the Miami Heat in Game 5 of the Eastern
Conference finals because LeBron James was called for five fouls in the
first 2½ quarters and Paul George scored 37 points, including 21 of his
team's 29 in the fourth quarter. Yet, for those who prefer to judge a
game purely on insanity and off-kilter entertainment, the star of the
night was Pacers guard Lance Stephenson.
The four-year pro
has been identified as one of the NBA's most active
pests already in this postseason, having already been fined for an
extremely dramatic flop in Game 2 of this series and proclaiming that he
was in the head of LeBron
despite little evidence from the star's performance to support that
fact. In terms of the full body of work, though, Stephenson's Game 5 was
a massive step forward in his career as a troll.
