The ESPYs was a remarkable night for the world of sports. But it was even better for Stephen Curry and the Warriors. In addition to taking a bag full of trophies, the Finals MVP had his first experience as a host. And boy was he made for it. However, during his monologue, his own teammate, Draymond Green interrupted the three-point king. He did it just to take a dig at Kawhi Leonard’s Clippers.

Draymond Green may be one of the finest leaders in basketball, but recently, the Warriors star has become a media giant. The former DPOY started his own show. Giving birth to the ‘new media,’ Green is actively speaking as a player. Normally, he does it from his hotel room. However, this time he chose the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.

Draymond Green interrupts Stephen Curry to diss the Clippers

Before, LA was home to just one team in the NBA, the Los Angeles Lakers. Show Time was running the show in LA. However, in 1984, LA had to make space. The Clippers came in from San Diego. Since then, Lakers fans have held a grudge against them. And now, Green backed up his close friend, LeBron James’ team. During the ESPYs, he took a shot at the Klaw and the Clippers.

As one of the most ruthless trash talkers, the four-time champion didn’t hold back. Interrupting Stephen Curry, he said: “I’m live in LA, home of seven professional teams. And the Clippers.” Likewise, the crowd was in splits. But the Clippers aren’t going to be playing around for long.
