Have have ever heard someone talk smack about you, and then when they're talking to your face, they're suddenly nice and act like they never said anything bad about you? Um, yeah. Well, that sort of things happens to athletes all the time, including Draymond Green. Now, in a post-game interview, Green is getting something of revenge on someone who was talking smack about him earlier in the season.

Draymond Green, of course, is a Michigan State University graduate. He was a star on Tom Izzo's men's basketball team during his time at MSU. Now, he's a star player on the Golden State Warriors. The Warriors beat the New York Knicks on the road Thursday night (Feb. 29) in a hot game at Madison Square Garden. After the game, NBC sports personalities Bonta Hill, Chris Mullin and Festus Ezeli interviewed Green. The sports crew asked him about the Warriors' game at Madison Square Garden. They were pretty much just looking for some glowing comments after Green's big win. But, Green wasn't having it.

Green remembers some critical comments that Hill apparently said about him when the NBA suspended Green earlier in the season. Whatever it was that Hill said stuck with Green, because the basketball player took this chance to confront Hill.

"Bonta, I'm shocked you're talking to me. The way you were talking about me when I got suspended. I am very shocked you're talking to me," Green said in the post-game interview. Hill looked surprised that Green was calling him out, but he tried to keep going with the interview. All that he got out of Green was saying, "It's always a fun game." That was it. So, it was an awkward moment for Hill, and Green fans would say he deserved it. Green has also recently weighed in on the MVP debate, saying on his podcast that he thinks Jayson Tatum is getting the shaft.
