Golden State Warriors rookie Jonathan Kuminga was the latest victim of Lance Stephenson's unique antics as the Dubs took on the Indiana Pacers on Thursday night. Kuminga was called for a technical foul after shoving the Pacers vet — a development that Stephenson was clearly lobbying for.

Stephenson is an absolute pro when it comes to getting on his opponents' nerves and, unfortunately for him, the Warriors youngster fell right into Lance's trap (h/t Warriors on NBCS on Twitter):

Kuminga clearly did not appreciate Stephenson getting too close to him and decided to push the Pacers wing away. Lance was clearly asking for it and, as usual, he did an excellent acting job of selling the call to the game officials.

Here's another angle of the shove. You can see Stephenson's facial expression more clearly here and it's just hilarious:

That's just Lance Stephenson at his best and this is one of the reasons why the Pacers decided to sign him. Unfortunately for Jonathan Kuminga, the young Warriors stud learned firsthand here just how much of a pest Stephenson can be. This should serve as a lesson for the 19-year-old, so I guess in this respect, he has to thank Lance Stephenson for the impromptu tutorial.
