Nikola Mirotic clotheslined Iman Shumpert during last night’s Cavaliers-Bulls game in Chicago.

Shumpert, a Chicago-area native, was not pleased.

Chris Haynes of Cleveland.com:

Shumpert was still miffed by that wrestling tactic after the game. As he was getting dressed, he was telling James “That dude better be cool. I’m from here. I got my family here and everything. He wants to get out safe, don’t he?”

It prompted a laugh from his teammates and James responded, “He must not know you’re from The Chi.”

Daaaaang.
