The Golden State Warriors held their NBA Finals victory parade Thursday, celebrating their second title in three years and the playoff run that sealed their reputation as one of the best teams ever.
But because Draymond Green was involved, the parade could not have possibly been all smiles and balloons. There had to be some trash talk as well.
And so Draymond wore this shirt:

And in case there was any ambiguity about what it meant, he explained in an interview with NBC Sports Bay Area that, yes, the Q comes from Quicken Loans and “quickie” refers to the length of the Finals series.

As Draymond mentioned, his shirt was revenge for LeBron James’ “Ultimate Warrior” shirt after last year’s Finals.
Well LeBron was not just going to silently take that. He quickly posted a photo of Green on Instagram with the caption, “…. That’s what she said, HUH?!?!? ????.”
Not bad, LeBron, not bad.
Naturally, Draymond fired back, mocking LeBron’s new haircut.
But wait, there’s more! Russell Westbrook, who is famously not a huge fan of the Warriors, appears to have liked LeBron’s post playfully dissing Green.
LeBron's clap back was good, but Russy liking it is even better 😂#PettyGang pic.twitter.com/BRI2LwSuKA (h/t @ArmanWalia)

And so did James Harden.

Isn’t the NBA just the greatest?
