Draymond trolls Cavs with ‘Quickie' shirt

Share

Last year, LeBron James exited the Cavs flight home to hoist the Larry O'Brien trophy after defeating the Warriors in Game 7 while wearing an "Ultimate Warrior" shirt. This year, it's Draymond Green's turn.

Green celebrated with fans at the Warriors Championship Parade and Rally wearing a t-shirt that read "Quickie." The "Q" is identical to the "Q" logo for the Cavaliers home -- Quicken Loans Arena. With a blue a gold theme, the shirt also features the Larry O'Brien trophy.

"The Q: That's what those guys' arena is called. And we got them out of there quickie," Green explained to Ros Gold-Onwude.

"We actually got them made in Cleveland. How about that? I'm petty. I've been waiting for a while," Green added, citing James previous barbs -- the "Ultimate Warrior" shirt and cookies at his Halloween party that were decorated with Warriors tombstones and "3-1" -- as motivation.

Though many expected a long series this year, like last year's seven-game battle, the Warriors defeated the Cavs 4-1 after jumping out to a 3-0 lead.

Green, 27, averaged 13.1 points, 9.1 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 1.8 steals, 1.6 blocks and 34.9 minutes per game during the Warriors 16-1 playoff run.

UPDATE (Thursday at 12:25pm) -- Before the parade was even over, James posted his reponse to Instagram.
