During the NBA Finals it looked like Lebron James and Draymond Green hated each other. They were two players trying to go all out to claim a championship and in the course of that there was some tension. They had to be separated a couple times during the series, mainly during game four when Green hit Bron with a low-blow as James stepped over him, setting off a mini-altercation that led to Green being suspended for the following game. After the series ended, Green showed some love to Bron on the court but you could’ve still thought there was some animosity between them but Green says that couldn’t be further from the truth.

The way Lebron talked about Green and his low-blow, not too mention the comments that Green made to him that got him upset on the court when he said Green went ‘overboard”, you would think they can’t stand each other. According to Green that’s not the case and it’s just a matter of separating on the court stuff from off the court.
“A lot of people try to make it out to be, you know, with LeBron and I, that there’s this beef … it’s not,” the Golden State Warriors forward told DraftKings. “Me and LeBron are friends. We’re business partners.
“Nonetheless, when I step on the court next year, I’m gonna go at him. When he steps on the court next year, he’s gonna go at me. That’s the game we play. It’s not about ‘Oh, you’re doing this. You’re doing that.’ Off the court is off the court, and on the court is on the court.
“What happens on the court also stays on the court. And at the end of the day, you’re competing for a championship. Things are going to happen because there’s a lot of emotion that goes into that, there’s a lot of hard work. And you’re going to do whatever you can to try to win. There isn’t this beef that people try to make it out to be. But if they want to make it out … if that helps them sleep at night, then that’s OK.”
The way the NBA looks at the moment it appears that the Warriors and Cavs will be facing each other in the Finals for at least the next couple seasons so the whole theory about a “beef” between Bron & Draymond will have plenty of opportunity to play out.
