Tension is boiling between the Golden State Warriors and the Cleveland Cavaliers. It seems as if the “buddy buddy” era of the NBA is over and true rivalries are growing again. Following Game 4, several shots were thrown from LeBron James, Draymond Green, and Klay Thompson.

LeBron James took the “high road” and led the Cavs to a pivotal road win, with their backs against the wall. His performance had to be his response to Klay Thompson’s “man’s league” comments. But, there was even more of an exchange.

Overlooked in this battle is Richard Jefferson playing in his third NBA Finals. Most younger fans know him as a journeyman, who actually played with Steph, Klay, and Draymond, but he is known by longtime fans for being one third of the New Jersey Nets’ original “Big 3,” which went to the 2002 and 2003 Finals. Outside of that, he replied to Klay’s comments by telling him to shut up about the Timofey Mozgov screen if it’s really a “man’s league.”
