VIDEO: Lance Stephenson's flop of the preseason

Sam Sharpe-USA TODAY Sports / reuters

Lance Stephenson is going to bring a lot to the Charlotte Hornets' backcourt.

"Born Ready" can score in bunches, rebound as well as any guard, and make plays for others with some spectacular passing. It's this combination of skills that helped him record a league-leading five triple-doubles last season. He's also one of the best perimeter defenders in the league.

In other words, Stephenson has the total package. But anyone who's watched the Indiana Pacers over the last couple of years knows he's also going to make some highlight reels for non-basketball reasons. Just ask LeBron James.

Stephenson's also a master of theatrics, which Kirk Hinrich and the Chicago Bulls found out on Sunday.

Even more impressive is that Stephenson's flop of the preseason made everyone forget the fact that he just traveled.
