While some might point to LeBron hand-delivering Draymond Green’s suspension — [or the social media responses from the Warriors camp that followed](http://time.com/4367467/nba-draymond-green-suspension/) — the true peak petty moment comes courtesy of whoever purchased the domain name for CryingJordan.com ([here](http://time.com/4369791/schoolboy-q-crying-jordan-album-art/)‘s a rundown on what that meme means) and then used it to redirect to the Cleveland Cavaliers website. Have we reached the ultimate apex of sports Internet? To that I say: Is [Kevin Love the red-headed stepchild of the Cavaliers](http://time.com/4343642/cleveland-cavaliers-lil-kev-eastern-conference-finals-lebron-james/)? Is [Steph Curry a horrible shoe designer](http://time.com/4363052/steph-curry-two-chef-sneakers-twitter/)?
