In addition, Thompson said James acts too entitled sometimes, “like he’s supposed to get everything he wants.”
In reference to Draymond Green’s words to the Cavalier star during Game 4 of the NBA Finals, Thompson’s son and Warriors sharpshooter Klay said, “I guess his [James’s] feelings just got hurt.” Marreese Speights also got in on the act, calling out James and saying he had “kind of lost respect” for the two-time NBA champion.

The NBA suspended Green for Game 5 for striking James in the groin at the end of Game 4, after James stepped over him following what James called a “grappling” between them. The league slapped Green with a flagrant foul, his fourth flagrant foul point of the playoffs, resulting in an automatic suspension.

The torrent of criticism aimed at James could be a source of motivation for the four-time NBA MVP. With his team down 3-1 in the series and facing elimination, he might need it.
