VIDEO: Dellavedova targets Draymond Green's legs after bone-rattling screen

Ken Blaze-USA TODAY Sports

Few players personify the NBA pest quite like Matthew Dellavedova and Draymond Green.

Throw them on the court together - in the NBA Finals, no less - and the potential for fireworks is undeniable.

Not a minute into Game 3, Green set a vicious screen on the Australian point guard at center court, with Dellavedova retaliating by appearing to chop block the Golden State Warriors defensive standout.

Dellavedova has been no stranger to controversial plays through the Cleveland Cavaliers' run to the NBA Finals. During the Eastern Conference Finals, he was inadvertently involved in the play that resulted in Kyle Korver's season-ending ankle injury, and saw Al Horford ejected after the Hawks big man dropped an elbow on him following another dubious play where Dellavedova went low.

In addition, Chicago Bulls forward Taj Gibson was ejected during the East semifinals for kicking out at Dellavedova after the Cavs guard hooked Gibson's leg.
