There Are Bad Decisions And Then There's Draymond Green Giving Udonis Haslem Material To Be Pissed Off About
I know people like to call basketball players fake tough guys. Sure, there are some that fall into that category. Udonis Haslem is not one of those guys. He will by all means fuck you up if need be. So Draymond coming out and saying the Warriors are going to play the Celtics in the NBA Finals is going to do just this. You have some insane people on the Heat. Haslem, Jimmy Butler, PJ Tucker. They are all guys that aren't afraid of shit and will take the slightest bit of an insult and run with it. Remember, Jimmy Butler took his rearview mirror off in his car so he never looks behind.
Now was it a hot take or some crazy prediction by Draymond? Of course not. The Celtics were up 3-2 and the Heat are banged up. However, Jimmy Butler decided to nearly drop 50 and hit every big shot he could. If this is Draymond trying to fuck over the Celtics, well, he just made a case for my favorite player in the NBA.
But this is about Haslem. I love him strictly because no one knows their role better than him. He's been around for 20 years because he's the ultimate team guy. He's basically a coach on a player's salary. Watch him during games. He's the one calming guys down and giving advice much like an assistant. So naturally he's the one to go to ESPN and thank Draymond for the motivation.
