All of that referring to him as "kid" in preseason seemed like a conscious effort to son him.

Granted, I'm sure the hug was genuine, but peep the body language.

They dap, bring it in for a hug, Bron pats his head...no issue with that, especially since Kyrie gives him the same gesture....equality, right?

Nah. I don't even know if Bron consciously does it. I'll fully admit that I may be reaching like a mug. But to me, when Bron reaches at him again as he's walking away to pat his head, it feels like some "I'm getting the last word" shit, you ARE my son type shit.

I felt that shit as soon as I saw it, and it was magnified when I saw all the other Cavs dap him, hug him, tap his head, it was on some even trade shit. Everybody but Bron.

OK, flame me now, idc
