Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James and Detroit Pistons big man Isaiah Stewart continued their beef from November 2021 on Wednesday at Little Caesars Arena. An alleged leaked audio now shows that the four-time NBA champion might be a bit scared of the raging bull.
James, 38, was allegedly caught on audio telling a referee that Stewart has "issues." The clip includes subtitles since it's not too clear what the Lakers star says, so take it with a grain of salt.

Stewart, 22, appeared to have elbowed James in the neck area and had been bothering him all game long with his physicality. LeBron even received a technical foul for flopping on one of the plays.
James never backed down, but trying to get an official involved makes it seem like he might be afraid, which wouldn't be anything to be ashamed about considering Stewart's reaction last year.
What started the beef between LeBron and Stewart?
During a game last season, James accidentally elbowed Stewart and made him bleed from his eyebrow, leading to a wild sequence.
Both players were ejected after Stewart had to be held back by several people when he charged at James.
This time, James eventually got the better of Stewart and the Pistons, beating them 133-107.
