At the end of Game 1 of the NBA Finals, with the Warriors heading back to the locker room following a 118-109 loss, Draymond Green and Toronto rapper Drake (Aubrey Graham) were seen exchanging words with one another.

After the game, Green was asked about the interaction and downplayed it, saying people made too much of it because of who Drake is.
"He worked to be who he is. You should get more leash. I don’t mind it. It’s fun for me."

“I think so many people make a big deal out of it. It is what it is,” Green said. “He’s a fan. He talks, and it gets more attention because he’s Drake. So many people are complaining about it, like, ‘You don’t let any other fan do that.’ Yeah, any other fan is just not Drake, so they probably shouldn’t be able to do that. That’s just kind of how the cookie crumbles.”

Drake, meanwhile, posted on Instagram a photo joking that he was selling Stephen Curry’s hair lint, while poking fun at Green. On Friday, Green posted a video to his Instagram story of him wearing an Drake-related sweatshirt while laughing and riding a bike around Toronto:
