2. All of the drama

Everyone loves drama. Its generates buzz and it reels everyone in. This series between Dub Nation and the Cavs had no shortage of that. It didn’t even stay on the court as it spilled out on to social media.

It all started  in Game 4 when Draymond Green struck LeBron James below the belt. Once it was reviewed the play got changed to a flagrant foul. With Green picking up his third flagrant foul point he was suspended for Game 5. This obviously was devastating for the Warriors but utter jubilation for Cleveland. Marresse Speights took to twitter with a baby bottle emoji. Klay Thompson in a press conference said LeBron shouldn’t take trash talk so seriously.

Well, they woke up the monster they call LeBron James. In Games 5-7 he averaged 36 points,11.6 boards and 9.6 dimes. He had back-to-back 41-point games in Game 5 and 6 to quiet all the haters.

The drama and non-sense didn’t stop there. After Game 6, Ayesha Curry; Steph Curry’s wife went on a twitter rampage. Saying how the NBA is rigged and how her dad almost got arrested. It caused a stir on TV, twitter and radio shows.

This truly justified the NBA isn’t just a basketball game but it’s entertainment to the fullest extent. It just added to already crazy series and the multiple days off between games just allowed for the hate and silliness to boil.
