Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green has been a thorn on the side of the Boston Celtics all series long. For Jaylen Brown, however, he knows exactly what the former Defensive Player of the Year is trying to do. As such, Brown isn't going to let Green get into his head and distract him from their ultimate objective.

Heading into Game 4, Brown had a bit of a confession about his true feelings about Green. While there are times that it might be very tempting to act on Green's antics, the Celtics star knows better:

“I ain't got time for all that, man,” Green told NBA icon Isiah Thomas, via NBA TV on Twitter. “I'm not going to lose my composure. Right now we got a chance to do something special and I ain't gonna allow my emotions, my ego, or what I feel like what I wanna do get in the way of what's best for our team.”

Brown also went on to say that he sees Green's antics towards him as a “sign of respect.” Nevertheless, it's extremely difficult not to let Green's actions get under your skin. Brown himself had a bit of an altercation with the Warriors star in Game 2, and based on his comments above, the Celtics star wouldn't mind going through this again. He won't, though, as he has the bigger picture in mind.
