The LeBron James-Isaiah Stewart scuffle made major headlines across the globe, drawing reactions from every corner. It was a nasty incident that left Stewart bloodied and enraged, and he made several attempts to retaliate.
In all of the commotion, players and staff were tripping in an attempt to hold down Stewart. One such was Anthony Davis, who was tripped by another individual attempting to slow Stewart down.
While the majority of NBA fans focused on Stewart’s strength and Russell Westbrook knuckling up, ready for a fight, adult film star Kendra Lust was focused on Anthony Davis tripping.
In a now-deleted Tweet, Kendra said her piece about the event, blatantly calling AD soft.
“If Anthony Davis wanted that smoke .. he said he was not having it ..you would have met Beef Stew on his way coming .. tripping over your own feet in all this and falling down. My guess AD never been in a fight in his life just my thoughts.”
While that is the singular term basketball players despise, it is unlikely that Davis will respond. The All-Star has been faced with several criticisms over the years and has unwittingly developed a thick skin.
The altercation resulted in ejections for both players involved, while Westbrook was T’d up for escalating the situation.
Davis spoke on the incident in the post-game presser, stating that it was evidently a mistake. He also spoke on how they were ready to protect their teammate no matter what. For Carmelo Anthony, the incident lit a fire within them, which propelled them to go out and get the dub.
"Everyone in the league knows Bron isn't dirty…it wasn't on purpose. We weren't going to allow him to charge our brother like that. We just wanted to get the win for [Bron] and our team."

It was a successful night for the Lakers in the end, who won the game 121-116 after an inspiring fourth-quarter comeback. Davis recorded an incredible 30-point game, adding 10 rebounds, 6 assists, 4 steals, and 5 blocks.
The Lakers will host the Pistons in under a week at Staples Center. It will undoubtedly be an intriguing matchup, as the Pistons will be looking for payback.
