At 32 years old, Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green is not exactly an old man. Unfortunately for him, some of his younger teammates are barely 20, which definitely makes him their senior.

This was exactly the case for rookie Jonathan Kuminga, who apparently, used to laugh at Green whenever he saw him early in the season. Dray hilariously recalled the story about how his relationship developed with his young Warriors teammate. According to Green, Kuminga helped him realize that he was indeed an old man:

“Honestly, everytime he see me, when he walk by, he just start laughing,” said the Warriors veteran, via ClutchPoints on Twitter. “… I don't necessarily think he thinks I'm funny, I think he's laughing at me… That's how I feel like he was looking at me like, ‘Dude you just old. You move old. You look old.' But honestly that was a part of the growth and understanding… That helped me further understand how I need to relate to him.”

While this is undeniably hilarious and all, the biggest takeaway here is Green's level of maturity. It is clear that he's grown into a true leader for the Warriors, particularly with the younger guys such as Jonathan Kuminga. Instead of getting mad at the youngster for having a laugh, Green saw this as an opportunity to break through in terms of his relationship with the rookie. Respect.
