There is no love lost between Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green and the Boston Celtics.
Green was extremely aggressive in the way he played in the NBA Finals – with some suggesting that his style bordered on dirty.
Celtics fans didn’t take kindly. They responded with a lot of vitriol and mean chants.
In the end, Green ended up prevailing. His Warriors won the championship this year in fairly dominant fashion, and now he has embarked on a victory lap.
On Friday, one day after winning the title, Green was photographed out and about in this t-shirt:

Green struggled quite a bit in the first half of the NBA Finals, but ultimately rallied by the end. Although he never put up truly impressive numbers, his impact could be felt in other ways.
Big picture, Green has never been one to bite his tongue. Whether he is telling it how it is with LeBron James or explaining why he no longer hangs out with Stephen Curry – he always keeps it as real as he can.
This is just par for the course.
The photos speak for themselves.https://t.co/MLz9cXzKjM

How long will Green’s relentless mocking of the Celtics go on?
Time will tell.
