Golden State Warriors stud Draymond Green is determined to re-claim his throne as the league's resident troll. His smack talking is already in NBA mid-season form, as he has recently taken to Instagram to troll none other than Los Angeles Lakers newcomer LeBron James and his free-throw shooting.

Following the Lakers' impressive home win against the streaking Denver Nuggets, James was on Instagram showing his appreciation the the Staples Center crowd who rallied behind the team throughout the closely-contested game. Not surprisingly, Green jumped on the comments section and took a shot at LeBron's success rate from the charity stripe.

Green was his usual savage self, hitting LeBron where it hurts most. As we all know, James missed two late free-throws towards the end of the Lakers' matchup against the San Antonio Spurs on Monday night. The 14-time NBA All-Star failed to sink two consecutive attempts from the line with just seconds remaining in overtime. This eventually led to a Patty Mills jumper on the opposite side of the floor, and resulted to a 143-142 loss for LeBron and the Lakers.

James has never been very efficient from the stripe, as he is a career 73.9 percent shooter from the foul line. To start the new campaign, James has actually made 78.0 percent of his free throws, which is a significant difference from his career average.

Nevertheless, those two huge misses against the Spurs is something that haters have feasted on. Green is definitely having his fair share of the fun.

The Lakers and the Warriors are slated to face each other on Christmas Day, and this is certainly something to look forward to during the NBA season.
