Game 3 between the Boston Celtics and the Miami Heat turned out to be another lopsided affair. After winning the first two games in TD Garden, the Miami Heat took a commanding 3-0 lead in the Conference Finals. The Miami Heat have formed a roster out of players that were overlooked. Undrafted players such as Duncan Robinson, Caleb Martin, Max Strus, and Gabe Vincent have endeared fans with their grit and determination throughout the season. After Jimmy Butler took care of things in Boston, Game 3 was all about Vincent. Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green, however, took exception with the way some Miami stars are treated by the media.

The Miami Heat have played the underdog card to perfection, being the eighth seed. But for Game 3, Heat guard Gabe Vincent really outperformed everyone on the court, including his teammates as well. So, how did Draymond Green perceive it as disrespectful?

Draymond Green is not happy with the narrative

The Miami Heat came out with purpose right from the start. The Heat scored 30+ points in all the first three quarters to build a strong lead by the time the fourth quarter arrived.

One player that took center stage in Game 3 wasn’t Jimmy Butler but Gabe Vincent instead. Vincent went off for a career-high performance, torching the Celtics with 29 points on 79% shooting. The 6’3 point guard was applauded for his efforts throughout the game and even after.

Given how the ‘undrafted player’ has been playing in these playoffs so far, Draymond Green may have a point after all. 

Jimmy Butler and the Heat winning it all with overlooked players

After the injury to Tyler Herro in the first round of the NBA playoffs, many were quick to give up on the Heat. However, head coach Erik Spoelstra and Miami front office have done an amazing job signing players that had been overlooked.

The Heat have a total of seven undrafted players, three of which are performing splendidly in these playoffs. Max Strus, Caleb Martin, and Gabe Vicent all went undrafted, but the Heat front office saw their potential and talent, regardless.
