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.

Ya, he’s right I think God would shoot better than 17% from 3. Hell I would shoot better than 17% from 3.
Lebron is not doing good in the playoffs I don’t think he gonna score a lot but warriors in 6 or 7 games
Not doing good? Are you watching the playoffs. He is averaging almost a triple double and scoring 27 points a game.
Goldenstate in 6 or 7…thats what u like to see..lol..not gonna happen..,Lebron to experienced..can do it all..not just score..like Curry
wHether I am a fan or not of Lebron.. I don’t understand why people has always a say againsts Lebron! whoever wins in the finals, then let it be, congratulate them and celebrate! why do people talks trashy againts him? he’s doing nothing but showing how really good he is in his craft! it is proven and still proving so much of things! we don’t need to hate Lebron! let’s wait and let the game begin! #gocavs #golebron #ignorethehaters #goforthewin #makeanotherhistory
Yeah… he shot whatever you said’. However, that’s the scary part. If that part click and Cleveland steal the first game. They may sweep GSW.
The Law of averages will kick in and Lebron will shoot about 60% from 3 and the Warriors will be done in 5.
Just think Lebron has shot that bad and look at where he’s got his team. Scarey thought, with him shooting that bad and he has his team playing that good. Look out here he comes
Green is trash, he lucky hes on a great team
Never compare God to a human.It would have been more appropriate for the young man to say that LeBron James is not invincible and he would definitely take him on in a civil sportsmanship fashion in the NBA Finals.
The entire world knows of LeBron James, he is a Super Star with very high Basketball skills and two Championships.Its very hard to argue with success, play the Finals and the best man wins.
Come on Green we just now herd about you at the end of this season so this makes you good now lol !!!,God lol there is only one …Curry and Thompson are your team they don’t even mention you if they are having a good game lol your garbage !!!
I know most of the east coast is asleep by the time the warriors tip off, that would explain some of these comically obsurd comments about the warriors and their players. You all will see, Warriors are a great TEAM, better than you all think.
Well people need to stop idolizing him like he is. That’s the point he was making.
Why is everybody getting mad at Green?? His said Lebron isn’t GOD and the truth is he isn’t. Don’t get me wrong, he is a great player if not the best player in the league today. But lets look at a couple things. He’s a player that takes his teams ALL THE WAY TO NBA FINALS, and if he loses he leaves to run to a super team. He did it in Cleveland, ran to Miami, won two rings with Dwade and Cbosh, then he got beat up by the Spurs, abonded his team and ran again. And for you LeBron Nut huggers saying he only left because he wanted to bring a ring to Cleveland, RIDDLE ME THIS BATMAN. Would he have left Miami if they beat they 3peated by beating the Spurs??? OF COURSE NOT!!!!! Case closed the prosecution rest. That is not greatness. You can buy talent, and rings, but you can’t buy heart. If Cleveland doesn’t win in two years, HE WILL RUN AGAIN. Lebron James aka the NBA Usain Bolt lmao hahaha
Lebron has been playing on a bad ankle and still averaged a triple double. Green will be in foul trouble in the first quarter and will be running his mouth from the bench
Nothing is wrong with moving from job to job if a better opportunity becomes available, it’s done every day in these United States, so why cut LeBron down.LeBron moved for those reasons and that was his choice and great business sense.It’s all about LeBron and whats best for his career. Apreciate the brother for who is is and what he has done for Basketball By the way, the Finals begin day after timorrow, watch him shine real bright.
West coast teams that are not out of LA get NO LOVE from media and NBA. I’m worried that the small town west coast rarely covered nationally (ie the Warriors) team will not catch many breaks vs King James and this wonderful feel gopd story of him returning to his hometown. With the injuries that both teams have it will be interesting to see how this series unfolds. Clev has the best player in the world in Lebron, GS has the MVP in Steph, i have watched both these teams closely all season, i think the Warriors have more talent than Clev top to bottom, especially with Love out. That being said, the Clay Thompson injury is big, it may allow Clev to steal one of these first 2 games in GS. I think Warriors win in 6 or 7!
Warriors takeung it…..
Anyone else sick of hearing Draymond run his mouth? Man talks like he’s accomplished something in the league. Acting like he should be on the Clippers..
A great player of Lebrons caliber isn’t going to shoot that way for long. Shooting bad and look what he’s accomplished. Just wait till this series and that one shot that gets him out of his shooting funk. Should be a great series!!!! Cavs in 6!6!6!6!6!
Yes Lebron is only a basketball player, just one that is extremely good at it. Don’t sleep on the Cavs supporting cast, that’s really who got them where he is
FINALLY…..spoken words – he is NOT GOD, he is NOT a King; he is a basketball player; mind you a good one, but I am so sick of hearing how he is the greatest player on the Planet! I hope Steph and Klay wipe the floor with him! Go Warriers!
Green is fuckin trash
Lebron isn’t God but he treat curry like he’s God/best player in the world so he just wanna find away to open his mouth he saying that now but then going be tryna laugh and joke with Lebron once the finals start smh
Come on people the lebron is the best at the moment hands down just watch the game and shut up
Lebron can not win a championship alone. It takes a TEAM!!! That’s one thing Golden State has is teamwork. Draymond said it right Lebron is not God! Golden State will take the ring in 6! So all the hate coming Draymond’s way can back up off of him! He making more money than all of you so….. That part!
All I’m saying is, Cleveland will win it all, and he can say what he wants but I bet you he’s gonna eat his words. That’s the same team LBJ had 42 on. And y’all keep sleeping on his supporting cast
Hes not god hes just playing human all this time.he did not call him sealf king james or a god, people give him that title. He did nothing but play the game of basket ball and dominate the game, he is the best player in the game and numbers dont lie. If he was on your teme you all will not be talking bad about the man at all ps not a cavs fan all this is coming from a pistons fan
you know what guys?stop being so jealous on LBJ….he’s just doing his best but most of you have this so called crab mentality that’s why you hated him. I dont think in your own little ways you can come up even just a pint of success he has now…you are pathetic
