The Detroit Pistons have a talented young cast of players for the 2023-24 season, though they’ve also got a wild card in Isaiah Stewart who isn’t afraid to let his emotions out on the court.
Stewart has been a solid rotation player for the Pistons, but he is still widely remembered for the time he charged LeBron James during a home game.
Stewart was upset with James after he took an inadvertent elbow from the Lakers star that caused him to bleed.
The Pistons big man tried to go after James and had to be restrained by multiple people before being escorted out from the game.
It was a surreal moment for fans to watch and it even prompted people like Gilbert Arenas to poke fun at Stewart and the situation.
Arenas later revealed that Stewart confronted him about his comments and even admitted to being scared of him via Pistons Talk.

Arenas hilariously recalls when Stewart approached him at an event and let him know that he wasn’t happy about what the former NBA player said about him.
Arenas then goes on to reveal that Stewart told him that he was ready to fight him and that’s when Arenas knew that he didn’t want to actually deal with him in person.
When talking about their encounter, Arenas sounds genuinely shocked that Stewart was serious about getting into an altercation but was honest with himself about how to go about it.
This just goes to show that Stewart is someone that people probably shouldn’t mess with.
