Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green is known for incessant whining on the court. Los Angeles Lakers center Channing Frye, for his part, is known for trolling people on Twitter.
Early on in Game 3 of the NBA Finals, Green was already complaining to the referees. Frye, probably sitting at home, didn't let Green get away with his usual antics. As such, the ex-Cleveland Cavaliers player took a jab at Green via Twitter:
I cannot wait to start off the year yelling at the refs like a hobo on bath salts, so when i get in the playoffs they say “oh it’s just Channing”

Green is known for complaining when the whistle goes off against him. In fact, he has already developed a reputation. When he approaches the referees, the officials have a look in their eyes that already know that a whole lot of words will be coming out of Green's mouth.
Green, has in fact, spoken about his relationship with the officials. The former Defensive Player of the Year feels that the referees have a personal grudge against him. As reported by Anthony Slater of The Athletic:
“It's bad. It's horrible. It's really bad. I don't know why it is. But I think it's ridiculous. It's ruining the game. It should be one of, if not the main priority, to be solved. It definitely should. A lot of it is personal,” Green says. “When you give someone so much authority and they make it me against you, you can't overcome that.”
To solve the seeming problem, Green offered a solution:
“They can get a new crop (of referees), a whole new crop,” Green said. “Too many personal things going on. Too much me against you. It just don't work that way.”
