Draymond Green is one of the most notorious trash talkers in the NBA. The Warriors’ stalwart contributes significantly to the game by getting under the skin of his opponents. Opposition fans never appreciate what Green does, but his smack-talking has allowed the Warriors to get significant wins. And now, Green is back at it, after the Warriors beat the Cavaliers.

Draymond Green having words with Osman

Draymond Green was having words for and mocking Cavaliers’ Cedi Osman after he attempted a three-pointer, which he air-balled. Green was seen after shot throwing words at Osman, making fun of him for missing the rim entirely with his three-point shot. Given the history between the Warriors and the Cavs, this comes as no surprise.

For much of the last decade, the Warriors‘ biggest rivals were the Cleveland Cavaliers. LeBron James led the Cavaliers to four consecutive finals against Golden State. While the Warriors got the upper hand on most occasions, the 2016 Finals is still a sore subject for the team, as the Warriors surrendered a 3-1 lead to the Cavs as the latter won the NBA championship.
