Man, things sure are getting feisty between the Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers in the NBA Finals and we aren’t just talking about on the court, either.
A day after Steve Kerr gave a few subtle shots at the Cavs and LeBron James, Warriors center Andrew Bogut essentially called King James out, suggesting he fabricated his fall into the cameraman which left the former NBA MVP with a bloody head.
Per USA Today:
“I think he jumped into the cameraman,” Bogut said when asked to give his perspective on the play. “Yeah, I think he came down and took two steps and then fell into the cameraman. I definitely, definitely didn’t hit him that hard.”
When the reporter replied by saying, “That’s how you saw it?” Bogut said, “No, that’s how it was. If you look at the replay, you can see the two steps being taken and then him falling into the camera. That’s what we saw on the replay, and that’s what my teammates saw.”
There was most certainly some stumbling going on which likely aided in LeBron James’ fall, though, it seems that Andrew Bogut is trying to suggest James milked the situation – or at the minimum – prove he wasn’t the one who pushed him.
