Lance Stephenson Shares Hysterical Story On Why He Regrets The Blowing In LeBron’s Ear Moment

Lance Stephenson’s infamous moment of blowing in LeBron James’ ear during the 2014 NBA playoffs has become one of the most memorable—and meme-worthy—moments in basketball history.

However, more than a decade later, Stephenson admits he regrets the stunt, not because of LeBron’s reaction, but due to an unexpected encounter with a fan.

In a recent podcast, Stephenson shared a hilarious story about being at a club when a drunk fan approached him and blew in his ear, mimicking the iconic moment.

The fan then exclaimed, “That’s how LeBron felt! How do you like that?” Stephenson, caught off guard, admitted he was ready to retaliate but ultimately laughed it off.

The ear-blowing incident, meant to distract LeBron during a high-stakes game, has followed Stephenson throughout his career.

While it didn’t rattle LeBron, it cemented Stephenson’s legacy as one of the NBA’s most unpredictable and entertaining players.

Despite his regrets, the moment remains a defining—and unforgettable—part of his career.
