Even before Warriors forward Draymond Green took the microphone in front of an enormous, captive audience - always a lethal combination - he left his distinctive imprint on Thursday’s championship parade and rally in Oakland.
Green wore a black T-shirt with the image of the Larry O’Brien trophy and the word, “Quickie” scrawled across the chest (a play on Quicken Loans Arena, home of the Cavs). This counted as not-so-subtle payback to LeBron James, who celebrated last year’s title by wearing an “Ultimate Warrior” T-shirt.
The Warriors shrugged and smirked, as usual.
