After McGregor posted his picture with a Warriors jersey, Draymond Green wrote on IG, “We rocking with Floyd bro not you…take that off bruh“, clarifying which side he is on.
McGregor responded, saying, “That’s C.J Watson mate. I don’t know who the f–k you are. No disrespect tho kid, keep hustling and stay in school“.
