Nets big man trolls LeBron James on Twitter


During the Brookyln Nets' 104-95 double-overtime win over Miami on Friday, Nets big man Mirza Teletovic committed a flagrant foul on LeBron James, an act that rattled James in a big way.

James had to be restrained by teammates after the foul as Teletovic bemusedly looked on.

After the game, Teletovic decided to keep up the trash talk on Twitter.

First, he posted a screengrab of James being held back, and pointed out the Nets had won five games in a row. (Also you can totally hear Teletovic saying "5 in row" in his Serbian accent and it's perfect.)

Then Teletovic updated his Twitter background photo, using the USA TODAY Sports image above. Bringing in expanded background graphics to troll the league's best player? Strong move.

The funniest part of this whole thing is the fact that the Heat were wearing their "nickname" jerseys during the altercation. A kerfuffle is always interesting in an NBA game, but it just becomes ludicrous/hilarious when someone with "B-Easy" on their jersey is holding back "King James" from getting into it.
