The Golden State Warriors and Boston Celtics have won one match each in the NBA finals. Their eyes are all set on the next match, which will be played on Boston?s home ground. Amid all this, the NBA’s official Twitter handle announced that Draymond Green has entered the list of top 10 players for total assists in the NBA finals. While Draymond tried to flex a little on this achievement, it did not go well with Wizzards? star Kyle Kuzma.

Green tried to play it cool with a tweet saying “Not half bad for a guy who can?t pass”. But Kyle Kuzma had to remind him that it was due to Curry. He added a few laughing emojis in between, trying to implicate that he was just joking about it.
😂😂😂😂😂 appreciate it brother

Rather than giving a snarky reply, Green just thanked him. He replied to Kuzma?s tweet with a few laughing emojis and said ?appreciate it brother.” There isn’t any big beef between the two and thus it was played down by Draymond Green.
