Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green was suspended one game due to an accumulation of flagrant fouls, the latest of which came during his altercation with Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James. Green’s teammate, Klay Thompson, didn’t mince words when asked about it:
Klay Thompson didn't hold back. "I'm surprised some guys take it so personal — it's a man's league. I guess his feelings got hurt."

Here’s LeBron’s reaction, watch it. It’s great. Skip to around the 5:20 mark to see LeBron discuss the Green suspension.
When told what Thompson had said, James laughed, and said: “Oh my goodness. I’m not going to comment on what Klay said, because I know where it can go from this sit-in. It’s so hard to take the high road. I’ve been doing it for 13 years; it’s so hard to continue to do it. And I’m going to do it again.”
Ayesha Curry –Stephen’s wife– took a shot at LeBron’s “high road” comment via Twitter:

All in all, this has been a pretty entertaining day of NBA drama. The Cavs will go into a must-win game five tomorrow. Hopefully they can use Draymond’s absence to stay alive, and make this series more competitive/interesting.
