LeBron James posted an Arthur-fist meme, usually meant to signify anger, shortly after Kyrie Irving led the Celtics to a win last month:

LeBron brushed it off, saying just likes the cartoon. Other Cavaliers embraced Arthur as a symbol of their success.
But Warriors forward Draymond Green is appropriating Arthur for his shoes during Golden State’s Christmas matchup against Cleveland.

I’m not sure I understand Green’s implicit message behind the shoes, if there even is one beyond telling the Cavs he sees them. But I still love it.
This is fun, petty and totally on-brand.
