As the 2016 NBA Finals were underway, and the Cavs were down 3-1 in the series to the Golden State Warriors, Klay Thompson was asked about LeBron James jawing with Draymond Green in Game 4.
Green was suspended in Game 5 of last season’s Finals for picking up one too many flagrant fouls after hitting James in the groin.
Thompson responded to the incident by saying, “I guess [James] feelings just got hurt.”
What followed next was James’ laugh heard from around the world, and a 41-point performance in Game 5.
Of course, the Cavs would go on to win the next three games in the series to claim the franchise’s first title.
