Game 1 Of The NBA Finals Devolved Into A Series Of Dick Jokes

Delly grabbed Iggy’s junk and the internet had a field day.

Both teams waited all year to get back here. But finally, they were. On Thursday night, the Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers faced off in Game 1 of the NBA Finals, a re-match of last year's testy matchup.

The game features some of the sport's true professionals, and many of its biggest superstars. It was all set up to be a match for the ages, an epic test of athletic prowess and emotional will. And then, Matthew Dellavedova accidentally grabbed Andre Iguodala in his southern region, and everything went to hell.
