Who said basketball isn’t a contact sport?
During the first quarter of tonight’s Game 3 match-up against the Golden State Warriors in the NBA Finals, Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James and his teammate, Tristan Thompson, collided, sending James to the floor and in pain for quite a while.
The King’s jaw took the full brunt of Thompson’s shoulder. After a brief sideline evaluation from team physicians, James immediately returned to action.
