There\u2019s always this public disdain over me and Bron\u2019s brotherhood. I try to kill him [on the court] more than anybody. I take him out. And vice versa. That\u2019s what it is. I\u2019m more apt to run through his chest than Kyrie [Irving].\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Interestingly, Green also said a few months ago that he\u2019d\u00a0like to team up with James in the NBA at some point.<\/p>\n<p>It seems as if Green and James have developed a mutual respect for each other in part because of all the times they\u2019ve faced off on the NBA\u2019s brightest stage, the NBA Finals.<\/p>\n<p>Granted, it\u2019s been a little while since the two players have met in a championship series, as the last time either of them played in an NBA Finals was back in 2022. But for much of the late 2010s, Green\u2019s Warriors and James\u2019\u00a0Cleveland Cavaliers\u00a0were consistently two of the top teams in the league.<\/p>\n<p>The Warriors and Cavaliers dueled in four NBA Finals during the decade, and James and Green got into it in Game 4 of the 2016 NBA Finals.<\/p>\n<p>In the fourth quarter of the contest, James stepped over Green, and a confrontation ensued. Green was assessed a flagrant foul and James was handed a technical foul, but the former\u2019s punishment proved to be much more costly.<\/p>\n<div class=\"rll-youtube-player\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CF52TQrYanw\" data-id=\"CF52TQrYanw\" data-query=\"feature=oembed\" data-alt=\"LeBron James Steps over Draymond Green and they nearly FIGHT (2016)\">\n<div data-id=\"CF52TQrYanw\" data-query=\"feature=oembed\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CF52TQrYanw\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"entered lazyloaded\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/CF52TQrYanw\/hqdefault.jpg\" alt=\"LeBron James Steps over Draymond Green and they nearly FIGHT (2016)\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/CF52TQrYanw\/hqdefault.jpg\" data-ll-status=\"loaded\" \/><button class=\"play\" aria-label=\"play Youtube video\"><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Green\u2019s flagrant foul marked his fourth point of the playoffs, and as a result, he was suspended for Game 5 of the series.
