this is an extract of the usa today:
LeBron levitates for career-high 43, lifts Cavs by Pistons
By Tom Withers, The Associated Press
CLEVELAND — LeBron James barely got to play at the Summer Olympics. On Wednesday night, he showed Larry Brown that may have been a big mistake. Perhaps trying to prove Brown was wrong to bench him in Greece, James scored a career-high 43 points with six rebounds and five assists to lead the Cleveland Cavaliers to a 92-76 win over the Detroit Pistons.

He didn't say anything to us," Cavs guard Jeff McInnis said. "But I think he wanted to stick it to him. I think in the back of his mind that's what he wanted to do.

WHAT does stick it to him means?

thank you
