Lebron James Gets Mad, Tries Stomping Giannis Antetokounmpo

MILWAUKEE, WI — Tuesday night's NBA game between the Milwaukee Bucks and Cleveland Cavaliers featured two of the game's biggest stars, and some of the most interesting storylines of the year to date.

For starters, you have LeBron James "King James" and the Cavs, who came into the game having lost only once in their last 20 games. Then you have the Bucks, with Giannis Antetokounmpo, "The Greek Freak" whose plucky and freakishly athletic teammates are pushing their way up the Eastern Conference rankings.

At time, the two players hounded each other. At one point in the Bucks 119-116 victory, James managed to inbound the ball right off Giannis' back. Midway through the second quarter, the Bucks missed a three-point basket. As Giannis and James battled under the basket, a video captured James shoving Giannis in the back, causing him to fall. As Giannis lay on the ground, footage shows James raise his right leg right over Giannis. As James forcibly stomps the ground, Giannis manages to quickly slide his legs out of the way.

A fan posted a short video clip on his Twitter page showing the incident:
