The Golden State Warriors’ Draymond Green is suspended for tonight’s NBA Finals Game 5 as a result of an altercation between himself and LeBron James, where it appeared Green took a shot at King James’ nether region as the Cavs man stepped over him.
Welp, as it turn out, LeBron James is no stranger to the ol’ ball-tap-during-a-game move either…

Yup, clear as day, that appears to be exactly the same move Draymond pulled on LeBron. Intentional as intentional gets. Except King James was never suspended or even reprimanded for it.
Man, the NBA really wants this finals series to go seven games.
