Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson faced Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce in Capital One?s The Match a while ago. The two NBA and NFL stars locked horns on the golf course along with Golden State Warriors defensive leader Draymond Green there to back them up.
As Mahomes tried to get under Thompson?s skin, Green decided to snap back with a salty comment of his own.

Having his teammates’ backs on and also off the court, four-time NBA champion Draymond Green decided to open up some old wounds of Patrick Mahomes in order to talk trash on behalf of Klay Thompson.
While Thompson was on the course, concentrating to putt the ball into the hole, Mahomes may have said something to him.
Green asked Mahomes, ?Ay Pat, what’d you just say?” The Chiefs star stated, ?I told Klay to watch out for that hole.?
Green took that as an insult as he said, ?Wow, 3-1 jokes. That is a cheap shot. Wow.?
Draymond Green: "Ay Pat, what'd you just say?"
Patrick Mahomes: "I told Klay to watch out for that hole."
Draymond: "Wow, 3-1 jokes… Pat over here talking about 3-1, like Joey Burrow ain't send his ass home a year ago." 😅pic.twitter.com/Kkrfd9WkJU

Green also went on to add, ?Pat over here talking about 3-1, like Joey Burrow ain’t send his a** home a year ago.??
Green certainly did his homework while digging up trash on Mahomes.

And it seems like The Splash Brothers certainly weren?t wrong as Green hit Patrick Mahomes with something strong.
Green is a master at talking trash without it affecting him. Both Curry and Thompson knew that apart from all the jokes and fun on the course, there will be quite a lot of trash-talking as well. And that may be one of the reasons why they brought Green along with them.
