It started with 7-0 Heat forward Hassan Whiteside, who implied the NBA is still a big-man’s world.
Warriors forward Draymond Green, listed at 6-7 and never afraid to mix it up with another player, seemed amused by Whiteside’s post, and responded two hours later.
For the record, Whiteside averaged a career-high 11.8 points and 10 rebounds on 62.8 percent shooting in just under 24 minutes per game for the Heat in 2014-15. Green averaged 11.7 points for the Warriors, who used a small lineup en route to an NBA title.
