There is only one Lance Stephenson. And NBA fans love him.
On Tuesday night, Stephenson pulled off an epic chasedown block on Charlotte Hornets center Dwight Howard. He celebrated on the court right after it but the ball was still live allowing Michael Kidd-Gilchrist to clean up the shot and score, all the while Lance did his thing.
Take a look at the classic sequence:

This might be the most Lance Stephenson moment ever. He shows off his potential and talent with an astounding block on Howard, only to allow a dunk moments later. If only MKG could have somehow found a way to posterize Stephenson.
The best part may be Stephenson walking off AFTER Kidd-Gilchrist's dunk, either totally unaware of the fact that the play wasn't over or just totally uninterested, knowing full well that his block was the highlight and nothing that happened after would matter.
In fact, we should take some time to appreciate this block. Howard didn't seem like he was going up soft at first but Lance didn't give him a chance soaring in and getting the rejection while Howard was on the way up, leaving Dwight to sulk underneath the basket as he so often does.
Never change, Lance.
