While he’s in offseason mode with the Golden State Warriors out of the Playoffs, Draymond Green has been following the action inside the NBA’s Orlando Bubble.
During the seeding round and the postseason, the former Defensive Player of the Year has served as an analyst with the crew on the NBA on TNT. Although he wasn’t on set, Green still chimed in on Twitter with a reaction regarding a moment from the Denver Nuggets game three tilt against the Los Angeles Clippers.
In the third quarter, Denver’s Michael Porter Jr. rose over Montrezl Harrell for an emphatic one-handed tomahawk slam dunk. After the highlight reel dunk, Green shared seven emojis with a shoutout to “MPJ.”
