I don't remember ever seeing a player not only snitch but work with his media mouth pieces to snitch to the NBA. Biggest B in history.

For real! It revitalized my hate for him! That's such a BAN move by a BAN!Man, I was ready to retire my hate for Bron after the dubs won this championship. After pulling this ***** made move of ratting to the NBA about draymond, I'll hate this man forever. Straight snitching to get his way is so foul. Hope cavs lose by 50 tomorrow without draymond on the court. Then after all the celebration, I hope draymond or someone from the Warriors drops some ether quote about Bron, his girl, or Cleveland in general. **** Bron Bron, **** Bron Bron
then you see his *** laughing at the comment? It's like he said, got em.[emoji]128549[/emoji]For real! It revitalized my hate for him! That's such a BAN move by a BAN!![]()
I mean whY does high road mean? I don't even get the ******* meaning.Talking bout taking the high road? ***** u, Dwight and Blake have no choice but to ignore ****. The all nba soft team.
pretty much on point.[h1]The Myth and Reality of LeBron James[/h1]
Draymond Green has never believed in the myth of LeBron James. In December 2012, Green was an unheralded second-round draft-pick, fighting for time in his rookie year. James was the centerpiece of supposedly the greatest team ever assembled. The Warriors arrived in Miami in the midst of a successful road trip and went to war against the Heat. In an effort to slow down a typically dominant performance from James, Mark Jackson gave Green a shot at defending him. Green denied James on two consecutive trips to the basket. The third time down, James finally drew a foul on the rookie. James then turned and barked at Green. “You too little.” At that moment, Warriors fans — and the rest of the NBA — learned something important about Green. He didn’t shy away from the then-best-player-in-the-world. He didn’t worry about the perceived ridiculousness of some then-nobody jawing at an NBA great. He turned around, got in LeBron’s face, and answered. Later that night, Green scored a slashing lay-up with 0.9 seconds left to defeat LeBron and the Heat on their home court, 97-95. It would be the first time Green bested James. It wouldn’t be the last.
The Cavs may win Game 5 against a Green-less Warriors, but LeBron James has lost something bigger in the process. In the fourth quarter of Game 4, James transparently baited Green with a step-over after Green and the Warriors’ defense had owned James on the defensive end all quarter. The step-over is usually an act reserved for a victor over the dominated — think Allen Iverson over Tyronn Lue. But James deployed it as a tantrum. It was the hollow act of someone lashing out in defeat, not boasting in victory. James then spent his post-game press conference passively-aggressively lobbying for a suspension, pushing the NBA to do what he could not do himself: get past Draymond Green.
The victim narrative is a new look for LeBron, and not one that sits well with his “Greatest” self-mythologizing. According to James, “some of the words that came out of [Green’s] mouth were a little overboard.” James immediately characterized the play as one “the League will take a look at.” James then descended into talk about how “the chips have been stacked up against us all year.” James and the Cavs apparently haven’t just overcome a historically weak Eastern Conference, a roster assembled specifically to meet James’ demands and a coach chosen with James’ blessing, but also intolerable bias from the referees. “I’m not quite sure what I can do personally to get to the free-throw line,” James mused. “I’m getting hit, but the refs are not seeing it that way, on my drives.” If that wasn’t direct enough: “it’s tough playing 46 minutes and only going to the line four times, as much as I attack the rim.” But asked a few questions later about his criticism of the refs, James was in full denial: “I didn’t talk about the referees. I was asked a question and I answered it. I’m going to save my 25K, okay. So I have not talked about the referees. Don’t put me in that cloud.” The myth of LeBron James floats on a different cloud. One where “the King” doesn’t need to whine for calls, doesn’t let an opponent’s trash talk rattle him, and doesn’t need NBA intervention to help him reach what he has always viewed as his entitlement: an NBA championship. But back on earth, in the reality of 2016, the myth of LeBron James is increasingly hard to believe.

There will be endless debate about how a play where Green barely makes contact with James can be a flagrant foul (James certainly didn’t respond as if Green made serious contact, and the ref immediately in front of the play didn’t call it). Others will try to cobble together some theory of intent intent based on plays scattered throughout the playoffs and Green’s career (none of which appear indisputably intentional), while ignoring more egregious acts by members of the Cavs that were dismissed as “scrappy basketball plays” and never reviewed for punishment. There will be talk of double standards, but the arbitrariness of the NBA’s ruling makes any reference to a “standard” generous. These debates may suck up all the media bandwidth until Monday night’s game, but ultimately, Draymond Green’s suspension will be an asterisk on this series. James and the Cavs may have successfully lobbied to change the match-ups in Game 5, but all their hurt feelings can’t change the fundamental differences between these teams: in talent, in coaching, and in the way the players work together as a true team.
A year after bemoaning the fact that the Warriors didn’t face the Cavs at full strength, I expect the Warriors to repay those slights with interest by beating the Cavs on Monday despite being a man down. Green has spent every second of this season watching the backs of his teammates. In Game 5, they’ll return the loyalty. It’s hard to imagine any greater motivation for a team that burns disrespect like rocket fuel than what’s transpired over the past 48 hours. But while I expect the Warriors’ response to this unfortunate incident to only increase their legend, the same can’t be said for James. Through all of James’ self-laudatory cliches about leadership, competition and rising to the challenge, remember this: when the time came for James and Green to match-up on the biggest stage, it was LeBron who was too little.
