After an Eastern Conference Finals series which featured Lance Stephensontouching and blowing on the face of LeBron James, when that final buzzer went off in Game 6, all hell was probably going to break loose, right? Actually, that couldn't be further from the truth because, following last night's contest, Stephenson and LeBron decided to hug it out.  

That moment was captured in a photo which Born Ready shared on his Instagram account with the following message: 

"I have much respect for LeBron and the heat. This was a great series they deserve it all love to Heat. Want to say that I'm so proud of my teammates we work so hard all year to get to point, Everything is a learning experience and getting better every year love u guys Pacer nation and thanks to all of our Pacer fans love y'all too"

Maybe Lance isn't such a bad guy after all, huh? Maybe Stephenson is trying to mend those bridges, you know, considering the 23-year-old will be a free agent this summer.

Does this change your opinion on Lance in the slightest?
