Tension between players in the 2016 NBA Finals is definitely at an all-time high for the series. LeBron James and Draymond Green’s brief scuffle in Game 4 of the series, is definitely not helping matters after Green was suspended for Game 5 of the Finals due to him picking up a flagrant foul for swiping out at James after he stepped over him during the last quarter of the game. If you recall, the situation got extremely heated between the players, after Green reportedly attacked James’ manhood by calling him a “b****.” However, Chicago Bulls star Jimmy Butler told Bill Simmons that Green may have called James a “f*** boy” and not a “b*tch” after all.
In one of Simmons’ most recent podcasts, the two discuss James and Green’s epic confrontation, that ultimately led to the latter being suspended from Monday’s game. According to Simmons, “I heard he didn’t say the B-word. I heard it began with an F and ended with boy. That was what I heard…That’s why I think LeBron took it so personally. I’m sure LeBron has been called the B-word before. He really got upset. I don’t know if you saw. His feelings got hurt. It’s really hard to hurt LeBron’s feelings. He’s one of the strongest people in the United States.”
This could definitely explain why James, a father of three got so upset, and why he remained super adamant Green had crossed the line during Game 4’ s post game press with the digs.
Do you think Green crossed the line, or is James being overly sensitive?
