The Golden State Warriors were putting the finishing touches on their Game 4 victory in last year’s Finals when Draymond Green committed the act that he now says “woke him up.”
Green got tangled up with LeBron James, who infamously stepped over the versatile yet combustible power forward. Green immediately swiped at James in the groin area, setting off a scuffle between the two stars. The act eventually led the NBA to suspend Green for Game 5, and the Cavs took full advantage as they won that game and laid the groundwork for the greatest comeback in Finals history.
