The Cleveland Cavaliers decided to use a graphic to troll the Golden State Warriors ahead of their game on Christmas Day.
The Cleveland Cavaliers have made sure to troll as hard as they can since they defeated the Golden State Warriors in the NBA Finals last season. Whether it’s the Warriors’ collapse or the epic play of LeBron James, the Cavaliers have made sure to milk the 2016 NBA Finals for all it’s worth.
Ahead of their rematch on Christmas Day, the Cavaliers took their trolling of the Warriors to an entirely new level. Just outside the Warriors’ locker room was a graphic of the famous block James had on Golden State forward Andre Iguodala that helped lead the Cavaliers to their first championship. The graphic also featured a ring on LeBron’s finger.

Needless to say, the Cavaliers went all the way here with their trolling of the Warriors. They made sure it’s the first thing they see when they leave their locker room and the ring being added to the photo tops it off. When a team like Cleveland makes sure to bring their best troll game, it’s the little details that count most.
Next: Cavaliers-Warriors is the NBA's best rivalry
While the Cavaliers have certainly earned their right to rub it in for all it’s worth, this could be great motivation for the Warriors before they take the floor. Everyone knows how much this game means to both teams and the photo could serve as a little fire to Golden State to come out playing their best basketball.
This doesn’t scream subtle at all and pretty much fits the persona of the rivalry between these two teams. There’s going to be plenty of emotions being let go on the floor and words will be had until these two teams end up meeting in the NBA Finals again if we’re all so lucky.
