Tempers flared once again in the 2017 NBA Finals when David West and Tristan Thompson got in each other's face after the Golden State Warriors forward pushed away Kyrie Irving as the two were battling for possession of the ball. Play-by-play announcer Mike Breen stated that the Thompson and West were "nose-to-nose," but it was more like "mouth-to-mouth" or "facial hair-to-facial hair."
The visual of Thompson and West being close to one another was eventually going to bring about its fair share of memes because, of course.
There were people who felt like the Thompson and West altercation looked like something they had seen before.
