Draymond Green and LeBron James went at each other during the NBA Finals, with the most heated moment coming during Game 4 when they got tangled up and Green took a swipe at LeBron's groin.

Green was ultimately suspended for Game 5, which set off the Warriors. Klay Thomspon poked LeBron about getting "his feelings hurt," and Mo Speights tweeted a baby bottle emoji, which was not so subtle.

It couldn't have gotten much more hostile, save for a full out brawl between the two teams.

Well, after the Cavaliers won Game 7 on Sunday to clinch the NBA Finals, Green returned to the court to congratulate LeBron and share this moment:

"Much respect man," Green told him.

"Got to give them a lot of credit. They were down 3-1 and they never quit." - @Money23Green #NBAFinals pic.twitter.com/VRm411dmg9
