The Draymond Green feud with Boston Celtics fans isn't showing any sign of slowing down.
If anything, he might have just fanned the flames.
Green took on the villain role during the Golden State Warriors’ NBA Finals win over the Celtics, and over the course of the series Green became a regular target of Celtics fans' jeers.
Rambunctious Celtics fans turned into a point of criticism from the Warriors’ side, even after they won. And appearing in a crossover episode of The Draymond Green Show and JJ Redick’s “The Old Man and the Three”, Green took a victory lap.
“There's no better feeling than going into an opposing team’s gym and quieting the crowd,” Green started. “But let me rephrase that: there used to be no better feeling than going into an opposing team’s arena and quieting the crowd. But quieting those f—ks, that took the cake.
“They were so loud in Game 3, and then in Game 4 they got humble, but they were so loud. And then coming into Game 6, you just knew. Coming into Game 6, they tried to get a ‘Let’s Go Celtics’ chant going during the warmups, and they might as well have been in a G League gym. The sound of it was like, are they cheering? They stopped the music – now, they did this a couple games before and they stopped the music and it’s like oh my god, it’s loud in here. But they tried to chant it, and you could have heard us three doing a podcast as quiet as it was in there. It was absolutely amazing.
“So now, the best feeling in the world is going to the Boston Celtics’ TD Garden and quieting the crowd. It does not get much better than that.”
It didn’t take long for the Warriors to quiet Celtics fans in the clinching game, either. They went into the half up 15 and extended their lead to as big as 22 in the second half. Whatever hope existed for the Celtics to returned for the third quarter was quickly dashed, and the final 24 minutes of the season were largely uneventful.
Clearly, Green was relishing that.
