If you want to know what it’s like to anger NBA veteran referee Joey Crawford, just ask Cleveland Cavaliers big man Timofey Mozgov.
Late in the first half of the Golden State Warriors’ Game 4 win over the Cavs, Mozgov was called for a shooting foul as Draymond Green was going to the hoop. The 7-foot-1 center didn’t agree with the call, and he let Crawford hear about it. So what did Old Man Joey do? Screamed at him, of course.
“Do me a favor and shut up!” Crawford could be heard telling Mozgov.
The best part is the way Mozgov casually walked away, almost as if players are used to hearing that type of stuff from Crawford.
