It Seems Like Draymond Green Truly Dislikes Tristan Thompson

It is not uncommon to see two NBA players who just spent a game or even an entire series scrapping and talking wild shit to each other suddenly shaking hands and hugging once the buzzer goes off. It’s a particular quirk of the NBA, a league in which guys can say truly vile things during the game and then be cordial when the action is over.
