Lance Stephenson doesn't want to be known as the guy who blew in LeBron James' ear.

Stephenson said during his introductory news conference Friday in Charlotte that he's "a little upset" that the ear-blowing incident in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals against Miami is how some people have defined him as a player.

"I feel like it overshadowed my play on the court," Stephenson said. "I bring more to the table than just blowing in someone's ear. I'm a great player."

Hornets general manager Rich Cho agrees, which is why the club signed Stephenson to a three-year, $27 million contract Friday. The deal includes a team option for the third season.

Cho says Stephenson, 23, brings competitiveness, scoring ability, a defensive presence and a wealth of playoff experience -- all things the Hornets need to take the next step and become a perennial playoff contender.
