Capital One’s ‘The Match’ between the NFL and NBA superstars did not disappoint the fans. The two sides had a lot of trash to talk about and it seemed they needed someone to assist them. Fittingly, Draymond Green from the Golden State Warriors for the Splash Brothers and a Buffalo Bills veteran for NFL superstars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce pulled up to the game. However, the Warriors teammates started their own rivalry in the middle of the golf game.?

Hours before the game took off, the veterans gathered for an interview where Klay Thompson decided to pull Green’s leg. Well, looks like the 2017 DPOY was not having it!

Green was indeed there to support his Warriors teammates. The 4-time champion shut down the “3-1” talks from the Kansas City Chiefs veterans with a Joe Burrow disrespect. It’s safe to say, the Splash Brothers benefitted largely from Draymond Green’s trash talk. However, that was not the only disrespect!

Klay Thompson was pretty off yesterday. Though 33-year-old Thompson put in a lot of work for this, one of his shots took a wild turn after it hit a bystander. Well, this was the perfect opportunity for Green.

The NFL superstars had someone to support them too. Buffalo Bills linebacker Von Miller showed up to the game, just like Green. Miller gave the Warriors star a chance to take revenge. The 34-year-old questioned, “Who do you think is going to have the longest drive on the hole one?”

Green did not hold back as he shared, “Klay for sure…Because he is nervous as hell. So that right there alone will help you whiff. How far it goes north or south but it’s going to go further east or west…Sorry about that Klay.”?

Green has got his revenge indeed!

How did Klay Thompson disrespect his teammate?

In an interview before the game, Mahomes questioned Curry and Thompson, “If you have just a strictly three-point shooting contest, who’s winning?” That was a hot question no doubt. Both Curry and Thompson answered, “I’m taking myself”. However, Green did not agree!

The 33-year-old shared, “Wow that is a political answer. It’s bulls***”. Further Green added, “I’m taking myself”. Thompson decided to dig deep into history as he brought out comedian Kevin Hart’s three-point battle with Green. The 5-time All-Star replied, “This man almost lost to Kevin Hart.”?
