CINCINNATI — Former Bearcats star Lance Stephenson got into a fight with a familiar face and a future Pro Basketball Hall of Famer on Saturday.

First, Stephenson got into it with former Xavier star Jordan Crawford during a BIG3 game. Crawford put his finger in Stephenson's face. He swung at Crawford, but was held back by players on the court.

Both Stephenson and Crawford were at Cincinnati and Xavier at the same time (2009-10). Stephenson scored 22 points and had six rebounds against the Musketeers. Crawford had a poor shooting game, but still finished with 16 points and six rebounds, helping Xavier win the Crosstown Shootout in overtime 83-79.

A few minutes later, Stephenson got into it with NBA legend Dwight Howard. They both ended up on the ground. Stephenson played well in the game before being ejected.

Watch both interactions and highlights of Stephenson's performance below:
