Udonis Haslem's 15 years in the league have allowed him to see a plethora of NBA players, from quiet, to mouthy, to flat out unstoppable trash-talkers. Yet to him, Draymond Green's alleged incident in L.A.'s Delilah nightclub after the ESPYs was just a consequence of how he has carried himself over the course of the season.
The lifelong Miami Heat forward posted a clip of Fs1's Shannon Sharpe speaking his mind about Green, agreeing wholeheartedly with him and noting that the Golden State Warriors forward had crossed the line from trash talk to public humiliation of Tristan Thompson and his character.

Sharpe was also on Thompson's side, noting that his actions were deserving of the humiliation brought forward by the three-time champ.
“I'm on Double T's side,” said Sharpe. “Skip, I love Draymond, but I told you: All that talking in front of the camera — when he called him an everyone in press row heard what he called LeBron, and you say all of that because you know no one is gonna put the mitts on you on an actual game.” “You already said publicly: Y'all ‘not cut from the same cloth' — now you wanna walk up to him an apologize. Double T said what? ‘You got any closet space Draymond?' He's like ‘Yeah,' ‘Well hang this two-piece suit up. Whap! Whap!'”
Sharpe also asked Green to “stop pretending you're hard” after the news of the incident broke out.
“You tried to humiliate and embarrass this man publicly and then when you see him in these streets, you're gonna pretend everything is good?,” added Sharpe. “Can't have that alligator mouth with a hummingbird butt, cause someone's gonna put you to the test.”
The FS1 co-host is also operating under the impression that Green was punched twice, while others qualified the interaction as a “face mush” or a mere “shove.”
It's also worthy to note that this happened inside a nightclub, at an event hosted right after the ESPYs, not in the “streets” as Sharpe put it.
Green is also two years removed from facing assault allegations after he fought with a Michigan State cornerback in East Lansing, and he'd likely could face further prosecution by having another violent act on his record.
