After Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics, LeBron James stunned the media with an incredible display of recall. Responding to a question about “what happened” during a 7-0 Celtics run in the fourth quarter, James proceeded to detail exactly what happened with incredible detail.
Here’s a clip of the event that had everyone talking.

On Tuesday ahead of Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals between the Golden State Warriors and Houston Rockets, Draymond Green was asked what he thought about James’ incredible memory.
Not only was Green impressed, he said he thought the media, which applauded James after he finished, should have gone a step further.

What’s funny about all this is that, if anyone can match James when it comes to memory tricks, it’s Green. Remember, he has been known to rattle off all 34 players selected ahead of him during the 2012 NBA Draft.
It’s also pretty funny that Green is so happy to praise James, as these two players have some history together that’s not necessarily friendly.
