During one infamous moment in the 2014 NBA playoffs, Lance Stephenson tried to play mind games with then-Miami Heat star LeBron James by blowing in his ear. This moment, which happened in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals, has been replayed countless times on TV and on social media, but it does have its drawbacks for the former Indiana Pacers guard.In a clip from Tuesday's episode of the "7PM in Brooklyn" podcast, Stephenson told a story that showed how the ear-blowing incident came back to haunt him off the court."I ain't gon' lie, I regret it," Stephenson said on the podcast. "I was at a club...I go to the bar, some drunk dude come and..." Stephenson then makes a blowing sound, drawing laughter from the podcast hosts.Stephenson recalled that, as he felt the "hard spit blow" on his ear that night, he felt empathy for his playoff opponent all those years ago."I was like, 'yo, you crazy, boy?' That's how LeBron felt!" Stephenson said.Whether or not Stephenson's mind games with James worked, the Pacers were able to overcome the Heat that night as they pulled off a 93-90 win in Game 5. Though this victory allowed Indiana to stave off elimination, Miami went on to end the series in Game 6.That would be the last time that Stephenson made it to an NBA conference final, but fans never quite forgot his ear-blowing tactic, which has since been immortalized as a meme."I'm in the locker room going ham": Lance Stephenson recalls his extra motivation to defeat Knicks in 2013 Eastern Conference semisIn 2013, Stephenson went up against another all-time great in Carmelo Anthony as the Pacers faced the New York Knicks in the Eastern Conference semifinals.Stephenson, a New York native, recalled how fired up he was to go up against his hometown team in that series."Whatever it took, I was not going to lose, whatever it took," he said on the podcast. "I'm in the locker room and I'm like, 'Yo, we better not lose, I don't give a f***! PG, look at me!' I'm in the locker room going ham."

Stephenson ended up having the last laugh as his team eliminated the Knicks in six games.
