After Golden State Warriors player Draymond Green hit then-Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James in the groin during Game 5 of the 2016 NBA Finals, who would have guessed that the two would be close friends off the field today?
The Warriors won three of the four NBA Finals meetings between Green, 35, and LeBron, 40. However, following the punch heard around the world, the record 73-win Golden State squad blew a 3-1 series lead to LeBron and Cleveland.
Both of them are Nike athletes and four-time NBA champs. Green praises James, even referring to him as a “big brother.”
James was seen dancing his ass off at Bad Bunny’s concert in Puerto Rico on Friday night, despite the fact that he is dealing with a sticky situation with the Los Angeles Lakers back home and may be getting divorced from the NBA. Now, footage of Green becoming rowdy right next to him has also come to light.

Is it possible that LeBron, who has already gushed about Stephen Curry and was his teammate during the 2024 Summer Olympics, where Team USA won gold, may eventually join Green and the Warriors?
They are obviously enjoying one other’s friendship off the court, regardless of whether they are pals on it.
