For those who missed it, Stephenson threw hands in a chippy moment between the LA Riot and Miami 305 … which forced a forfeit after he was ejected from the contest, as his squad ran out of players.
Stephenson said the punishment was “definitely fair” … but he’s now focused on the task at hand — winning a championship.
Stephenson was always known for his knack of getting under an opponent’s skin … but he’s hoping kids don’t follow his lead with his latest scraps.
“All the young players — don’t follow what I’ve just been doing. It’s all about having fun and enjoying the game,” Stephenson told us.
Stephenson said he’s gonna listen to his own words after a “couple of mistakes” … and has high hopes for his team moving forward.
We also asked about the rumors LeBron James could join Stephen Curry on the Golden State Warriors — his response might surprise you!!
