LeBron James' comments on the New York Knicks apparently won't go unpunished.

James made headlines in what was an apparent jab at Phil Jackson, but comments that were perceived as shots at rookie Frank Ntilikina.
LeBron James says Dennis Smith "should have been a Knick" and "Dallas got a good one."

LeBron says he knows he'll "make headlines" with that comment but chides the Knicks anyway for passing on Smith with the No. 8 pick in June

'I don't care who. I cannot let anyone disrespect my family like that'. @Enes_Kanter on LeBron

And that's what led into Monday's interaction between the Knicks and James. James dunked the ball and refused to move, punking out Ntilikina. The rookie shoved James a few times before Kanter jumped in the middle and the two jawed at each other.
Kanter and James were both handed down technical fouls.
