With so much time between the Conference Finals and the NBA Finals, each team has had a lot of time to prepare for the other.  That also means the anticipation and trash talk has heated up.  Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green is notorious for his trash talk and he learned it from his own mother, Mary Babers.  While LeBron James believes he’s unstoppable, Green set him straight, reminding him that he’s just a mere mortal.

“I’ve watched him since he was in high school. He was always on ESPN,” he said. “I think LeBron came into the league when I was 13 years old. I’ve been watching him since, and you kind of remove yourself from being a fan in college to, ‘All right, I may play against these guys,’ and you’re trying to learn. I’ve been watching him since I was 10 years old.”

Did he have a LeBron poster on his wall?

“My mom didn’t allow us to have posters on the wall of any type of star or whatever you want to call people,” Green said.

Why not?

“Because the Bible says you don’t idolize man. So she didn’t allow us to,” he said.

Someone suggested James is a cyborg, not a man.

“He’s not God,” Green said.

Green has proven himself to be a great defensive enforcer and finished second in Defensive Player of the Year voting, despite having more first place votes than the winner Kawhi Leonard.  This upcoming finals will be the greatest test in his career and I’m sure he’s excited about the challenge, especially since it’ll add more zeros to his new upcoming contract.
