It's common knowledge that you shouldn't put your hands on someone's face in most cases, unless you're ready for a fight (don't go looking for fights though). Lance Stephenson violated this social rule last night, but LeBron James, being the professional that he is, kept it cool. But The King noted that he almost didn't.
"It was uncalled for, for sure,” James continued. “That was — I don’t know. I’m at a loss of words with that, but it was uncalled for, and I was able to move on from it. I let him know how I felt.”
Stephenson and James hugged it out at the end of the game, but Frank Vogel made it clear why touching his face—or doing ridiculous antics in general—is never a good idea against James: "It’s never good to tug on Superman’s cape.” It's deeper than the Playoffs sometimes.
