Draymond Green

Draymond Green did not hold back in sharing why he did not shake the hand of Tristan Thompson after the NBA Finals ended.

Green spoke during the Golden State Warriors’ parade on Tuesday and said that some other players in the league are “soft” and that he and his teammates are “cut from a different cloth.” That includes Cleveland’s Thompson, whom Green apparently regards as soft.

Guess what? The video backs up Green. It shows the Warriors forward brushing aside Thompson’s efforts to shake his hand after the NBA Finals.

Draymond wasn’t lying! He really didn’t shake Tristan’s hand.

Yup, Draymond really is cut from a different cloth.
