LeBron James and Draymond Green went at it again. You may remember that Green missed Game 5 of the 2016 NBA Finals after he delivered a kick to James’ lower region, something Green has been accused of doing repeatedly. On Monday night, the Cavaliers and Warriors faced off again. Golden State absolutely dominated the Cavaliers this time around with a 126-91 win. James and Green had another incident as LeBron was running down the court on a fastbreak, Draymond tried to stop the freight train but his screen sent LeBron flying to the ground where he laid for a while. Green was hit with a flagrant 1 foul. He like many others felt James was flopping and he re-enacted LeBron flailing about.
“I think his shoulder hit me in the face,” James said. “It happened so fast, I didn’t even know who it was. But I’m all right. I’m a football player.”
“I fouled him to stop the break, and he went down,” Green said. “And in the aftermath, I don’t know, I told RJ to get out of my face. Got a tech.”
