Troy Weaver's reminder reached Isaiah Stewart when the commotion on the court had not: be the person they drafted. In Out The Mud Podcast's interview excerpt, Stewart remembers that intervention as the moment he finally calmed down after his altercation with LeBron James.

Before getting there, though, he gives a firm answer to the host's question about whether he thought the contact was personal. Stewart acknowledges that James has said it was not, then offers his own view: "To this day, I always say 100%. I know it was personal."

Stewart describes seeing blood on his face, losing his temper and chasing James around the court. He says he then headed toward the back hallway to try to reach the Lakers' side, before Weaver spoke to him.

The Short drew roughly 74,000 views in nine hours, already well beyond the channel's usual full-day audience of about 18,000 for the format. Comments had also reached nearly twenty times a typical first day's total.

The excerpt comes from a longer Stewart conversation covering his Rochester upbringing, being drafted during COVID and playing alongside Cade Cunningham. In that episode, the LeBron discussion begins around the 28-minute mark.
