Penalty! LeBron James hits NBA opponents in the face

LeBron James (36) creates terrifying scenes on the field! The American is one of the absolute legends in the basketball scene. It is not without reason that the professional has been on the field for years in the country’s highest league – the National Basketball Association, or NBA for short. Even for some of his competitors, the athlete is a great role model for his techniques. So to speak, someone who knows how basketball works. But now he was getting into a lot of trouble: LeBron hit his opponent in the face during the game!

At the meeting last Monday evening between LeBrons current team, the Los Angeles Lakers, and the Detroit Pistons there was an argument. Dived under the basket during the scramble LeBron and his opponent Isaiah Stewart after the ball – slow-motion recordings make it clear that LeBron slapped his game rival in the face with his left hand, causing his lip to bleed immediately. Whether it was a deliberate action is questionable. However, the referee made short work and imposed LeBron a penalty: This means that the professional basketball player is banned from a game for the first time in his career!

“LeBron James was banned from a no-pay game for ruthlessly slapping Stewart in the face and causing an argument on the field,” said his club. Measured against his annual salary of an estimated $ 41,180,544 million, the ban puts him at $ 284,000. The injured Stewart, however, was hit even harder: Because he opened after the blow LeBron went off, he was promptly banned for the next two games! In addition, he had to go home as a loser – LeBron’s team was able to pull away with a score of 116 to 121.
