For a guy whose net worth is hovering around a half billion dollars, LeBron James is having a bad time right now. His Cavs currently hold a 4-6 record–which is good for 13th in the East–and look flat out uninspired. To add insult to injury, his nemesis Kyrie is sitting pretty with his new Celtics squad, riding a league-best nine game winning streak.

Last night, after the Celtics beat the Hawks to extend their dominance, LeBron took to Instagram to post the Angry Arthur meme. Vintage passive aggressive Bron Bron.

Well, Kyrie caught wind of the shade and wasn’t going to let his former teammate smear his success.

The veiled niceties between these two are going to turn hostile real quick.

Matt’s love of writing was born during a sixth grade assembly when it was announced that his essay titled “Why Drugs Are Bad” had taken first prize in D.A.R.E.’s grade-wide contest. The anti-drug people gave him a $50 savings bond for his brave contribution to crime-fighting, and upon the bond’s maturity 10 years later, he used it to buy his very first bag of marijuana.
