LeBron mocked over outrageous flop against Warriors

Golden State's Draymond Green has taken aim at LeBron James over the Cleveland star's theatrical flop during their NBA finals rematch.

The contest was always going to contain fireworks and they duly arrived in the second quarter when the two big men clashed.

The Cavs had just dispossessed the Warriors and thrown it to LeBron, when he was clattered into by Green on the fast break.

The Warriors man was called for the flagrant-one foul but it was the manner in which LeBron went down that infuriated Green the most.

There's no doubting contact was made between the two players, but as soon as he felt it James threw his head backwards and dramatically fell to the floor.

Moments later, the Golden State forward mocked his fierce rival by throwing his arms jokingly in the air as he walked towards the bench.

The two players do have history of course, with Green suspended for game five of last year’s NBA finals for taking a swipe at James's groin.

It appears that rivalry has just gone up a notch with this latest incident.
