Draymond Green and LeBron James went from being fierce rivals to becoming very good friends that don’t hesitate to hype each other up.
This has been a common thing in recent years, especially from Draymond, who can fight Shannon Sharpe for the title of LeBron’s biggest fan in the world. Moreover, things got to another level on Friday, as the Warriors big man embraced the King after the Lakers eliminated his Warriors.
This is completely normal after every series ends, but Green took it to the next level, laughing and smiling with LeBron as his team looked defeated.
Of course, not many fans appreciated this and instantly called Draymond out, criticizing him for his behavior around LeBron.
“Dray: Glad I could help you.”
“Draymond secretly happy for Bron.”
“Gotta get me some friends like Draymond.”
“Proud father and son moment.”
“Draymond wanted a kiss so badly.”
“bro boutta talk about that hug on his podcast.”
“I hate this so much. Bring back rivalries.”
“Dray so happy the Lakers won “
Every fan on social media had something to say about this, and NBA Twitter was very upset with this situation.

He's acting like he's happier for LeBron winning the series than he is sad/upset that he lost. He loves LeBron more than his own team lmfao

It’s not a secret that Draymond and LeBron have become friends over the years, but one would expect a different reaction after your team just got knocked out of the playoffs. Green even got Dennis Schroder ejected from the game, so it’s odd that he took this loss this way.
Draymond Green Has Been Criticized For His Relationship With LeBron James
After being considered big rivals on the court, the relationship between James and Green evolved, and now they’re friends. Draymond doesn’t hesitate to praise James, and some people around the league are tired of the situation.
He was ready to leave the Warriors to go watch LeBron break the all-time scoring record before Steve Kerr warned him against that. This situation has gotten out of control, and all these fans criticizing Draymond perfectly explain how crazy things are right now.
The Lakers are now ready to face the Denver Nuggets for a chance to play in the NBA Finals, while the Warriors are going home, trying to figure out what to do for next season. Some say their era with Draymond is over, and they could come back with another dynasty soon.
