LeBron James took it in the crotch Friday ... and it cost him $15k.
" on NBA officials who benched him, saying the elbow was unintentional. He said he merely"grazed" Stewart. BTW ... the"bulls***" comment didn't sit well with NBA officials ... they gave him a warning.
LeBron explained the contact with Stewart this way ..."His elbow got kinda high, got me off balance a little bit. His elbow lifted my arm. I basically tried to swim move down on his arm. When I went down on his arm, he got off balance, and the left side of my hand grazed his face ... definitely accidental."
Interestingly, LeBron understood why he and Stewart were ejected, saying,"I thought it warranted an ejection because of what happened after that, but a suspension, I didn't think it was warranted. But, the league made that call."
