Klay Thompson thinks LeBron James is a little too sensitive.

James got into a heated exchange with Draymond Green in the dying moments of Game 4, and called out Green for going overboard with his words in the postgame press conference.

Thompson was surprised by how James reacted.

"I'm just kind of shocked some guys take it so personal," Thompson said with a laugh. "It's like, I mean, you know, it's a man's league and I've heard a lot of bad things on that court, but at the end of the day it stays on the court."

The sharpshooter also took a shot at James for being too sensitive.

"I don't know how the man feels. But obviously people have feelings and people's feelings get hurt even if they're called a bad word. I guess his feelings just got hurt. I mean, we've all been called plenty of bad words on the basketball court before. Some guys just react to it differently," Thompson said.

According to reports, James was angered by Green called him a "b--ch." Green would also take a swipe between James' leg after the King stepped over him on a play late in the fourth quarter.

Green's glancing low blow earned him a one-game suspension.
