Revenge is a dish best served many months after the fact.

New York Knicks center Enes Kanter had the last two games of the season circled on his calendar. Even though the Knicks are out of the playoffs yet again, Kanter wanted another crack at LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers after their skirmish in November.

"I've been thinking about those two games the whole season," Kanter told Ian Begley of ESPN.

Kanter got tangled up with James in their last meeting at Madison Square Garden. James stirred the hornets' nest by talking trash about Knicks rookie Frank Ntilikina coming into the game, then stood over the French teenager in the first quarter, which brought Kanter into the fray.

The Turkish center got into James' grill and called him a "queen" and "princess" in the post-game interview.
