Pacers' Stephenson on trash-talking LeBron: 'I don't care how he feels'
Indiana Pacers guard Lance Stephenson is running his mouth around the media circles during the Eastern Conference finals.
His teammate Paul George explained it best via ESPN: "Sometimes he needs to keep things more in house and be a little more modest."
Between calling LeBron James' trash-talking a "sign of weakness" and saying he was going to try to run Dwyane Wade around to "flare up" his problematic knees, Stephenson just keeps piling it on.
"I don't mind it, I don't care how [LeBron] feels. I'm up for any challenge," Stephenson said before Game 4. "I love it when people challenge me, I like to bring out the best in people. That's how I am, I have to get the win tonight.
"When I talk junk, it makes me happier in my job. I like the challenge, I like to force myself to do my job."
Well, ok.
Before this series, Lance Stephenson wanted to aggravate Dwyane Wade's knee tendonitis. Wade is shooting 62 percent.
