There’s a certain level of animosity that players from the Golden State Warriors and Memphis Grizzlies hold for each other and it was evident when the teams recently faced off. Earlier this month, Draymond Green took a dig at the Memphis Grizzlies by saying they are not ready to compete for a championship. During last night’s game, Klay Thompson made fun of Memphis by reminding them of the number of championships he has. One of the Grizzlies’ stars, who often trades verbal jabs with the Warriors players, was back at it again as the Grizzlies toppled the Warriors 133-119 at the FedEx Forum.
