Manu responds to LeBron' comments: 'I dislike everyone we play in the playoffs'
Familiarity breeds contempt. Either that, or there are some huge Chief Keef fans in this year's NBA Finals.
The Miami Heat and San Antonio Spurs are set to square off for the second consecutive season in the Finals. One thing is clear: the two teams don't like each other.
Heat forward LeBron James cleared the air on Monday, stating that, "they don't like us, they don't."
On Tuesday, several members of the Spurs fired back, including guard Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker.
Manu: "I dislike everyone we play in the playoffs." Tony: "I have respect for all those guys." Pop: "Do you have a better question?"

The war of words between the two respected franchises is as civil as one would expect. As Parker said, they respect each other too much to divulge into any "Lance Stephenson-esque" shenanigans, but it is fairly clear that the two teams dislike each other.
