Watch: Bob Myers jokingly references LeBron James’ famous chase down block vs. Warriors during Lakers vs. Nuggets broadcast

“I remember he did that one time in Oakland.”

Since leaving the Golden State Warriors front office, Bob Myers has joined ESPN’s broadcast team. For the first time, Golden State’s former general manager is serving as an analysts for NBA playoff games.

On Saturday, Myers found himself in a familiar situation while on the call for Game 4 of the series between the Denver Nuggets and Los Angeles Lakers. During the game, LeBron James chased down Jamal Murray for an emphatic block at the rim.

When talking about the block, Myers jokingly referenced James’ famous block in the fourth quarter of Game 7 of the 2016 NBA Finals against Andre Iguodala and the Warriors.

That’s more impressive to me than the scoring. Chasing down a blocked shot. I remember when he did that one time in Oakland, but I didn’t like it, Dave.

Via @ESPN on X:

James finished with 30 points on 14-of-23 shooting from the field with five rebounds, four assists, three steals and a block as the Lakers finally secured a much-needed win over the Nuggets, 119-108.

Game 5 between the Lakers and Nuggets is Monday at 7 p.m. PT in Denver. The Nuggets hold a 3-1 series lead over the Nuggets in the first-round playoff series.

Steve Kerr reacts to Draymond Green’s ejection vs. Cavs

The former Defensive Player of the Year was ejected in the third quarter against the Cavaliers after being assessed a technical upon replay review.

A defining moment of the Golden State Warriors’ loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday night came when tensions flared in the third quarter.

After Cavs wing Caris LeVert cashed in a fast-break layup, Donovan Mitchell made a straight line for Draymond Green as he was dribbling the ball up the other end of the court. Mitchell quickly fouled Green, resulting in the two jawing at each other. Mitchell appeared upset about what happened on LeVert’s layup.

Following Mitchell’s foul on Green, the play went into a replay review to determine if it would be a common foul or a technical. Following an extensive replay review, the official ruled Mitchell’s foul was common, but Green was assessed a technical for the previous play.

Green’s late technical was his second of the game. resulting in his first ejection of the season.

After Golden State’s 118-110 loss to Cleveland, Steve Kerr was asked about Green’s ejection. Kerr called the technical ruling bizarre.

They said he got a technical for elbowing Mitchell a couple plays before maybe. I had never heard of this rule, but apparently you can retroactively call a technical on someone from two plays before upon review.

I had no idea. There’s lots of plays I’d like to go back to from three years ago. I don’t know, that was bizarre.

Watch: Draymond Green ejected vs. Cavs after exchange with Donovan Mitchell

However, his return to the lineup was short lived. In the third quarter, the former Defensive Player of the Year received his second technical foul and was ejected from the contest.

After a made Caris LeVert bucket, Cavs All-Star guard Donovan Mitchell chased down Green and fouled him as he brought the ball up the other way. Mitchell appeared to be gesturing and pointing toward the other of end of the floor.

Via @NBCSWarriors on Twitter:

Following a replay review, Green appeared to shove Mitchell into the first row of seats under the basket. After no initial call, the referees assessed Green with his second technical following the review, resulting in an ejection.

Prior to his ejection, Green was animated throughout the night, jawing with Mitchell and having an exchange with Cleveland center Jarrett Allen. Green also attempted to fire up the crowd at Chase Center on Saturday night. On his way to the locker room, Green cheered with the crowd again.

Green finished with eight points on 3-of-4 shooting from the field to go along with a pair of made triples, five boards and four assists in 18 minutes. Without Green, the Warriors couldn’t hold on at home against the Cavs, losing 118-110.

The Warriors have lost two in a row and will face Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves on the second leg of a back-to-back on Saturday night at Chase Center.

Highlight of the night

Although Steph Curry danced past Cleveland’s defense for a flurry of impressive plays, Draymond Green stole the show with a highlight-reel dunk. 

With under five minutes remaining, Green exploded to the rim after a pass from Curry for a powerful one-handed slam. Following Green and Curry’s pick and roll, the former Defensive Player of the Year soared past Larry Nance Jr. for a rim-rocking jam.
