It's not only Stephen Curry who took shots and trolled NBA players and teams at the ESPYs. Even Draymond Green joined in the fun, making the Los Angeles Clippers his first victims.
At one point during the show on Wednesday night, Green made an appearance as if he's doing his podcast there. The short skit saw Steph confused before Green made his introduction, saying âI'm live from LA, home of seven professional teams⌠and the Clippers.â

Now that's a massive burn from Draymond Green and a great use of a classic reference on how people consider the Clippers as a laughing stock in LA.
The Lakers have always been the more popular team in the City of Angels, and while many see the Clips as the better team right now, the influence and roots that the Purple and Gold have established aren't easy to replace and replicate.
Kawhi Leonard, Paul George and co., however, can take solace from the fact that the joke is made in good fun. Besides, there aren't the only NBA team on the receiving end of some hilarious trolling. There's that Stephen Curry video where the Warriors star said he's the Boston Celtics' daddy. That certainly hurts!
Furthermore, even the likes of LeBron James, Tom Brady and Kevin Durant couldn't escape the mockery and trash-talking despite everything they have accomplished. It's just for entertainment, and maybe the Clippers can laugh about it as well. Besides, they can just prove the Warriors wrong when they meet next season!
