Following his controversial performance in Game 2 in San Francisco, Boston fans were ready to boo Draymond Green, who had a physical incident with Jaylen Brown and a verbal disagreement with Grant Williams during the Warriors’ victory.

They frequently yelled, “(expletive) you, Draymond!”

Following tense Games 1 and 2 in which Warriors enforcer Draymond Green went full bully mode in San Francisco, Celtics supporters in Boston greeted him as expected in Game 3. During pregame introductions, there was a chorus of boisterous boos:

Thompson wasn’t the object of the crowd’s wrath, but given his response when asked about it, he might be in the next game.

He stated, “It was not a factor.” “We’ve performed in front of obnoxious crowds before. With youngsters in the crowd, dropping f-bombs. It’s very elegant. “Way to go, Boston.”

Green, who swore in front of his own child during the news conference, looked thrilled by the unfavorable publicity, while Steph Curry seemed to think it was typical.

“It’s just par for the course.” “Every stadium gives you a little something,” he explained. “It’s been like that throughout the playoffs and every run we’ve had.” He’s prepared for it. So it’ll be the same tonight.”

Steve Kerr, the Warriors’ coach, was also asked about Draymond’s treatment. His response was much more succinct.

“Classy,” Kerr said. “Very classy.”

What about the chant’s intended audience? What is Green’s opinion?

He’s not the kind to do press conferences for Boston supporters. He’s also clearly unconcerned for the youngsters.

What is Klay Thompson’s net worth?

The net worth of the 31-year-old was recently reported to be about 38 million dollars. The majority of his earnings come from the NBA, but he also has non-basketball earnings that account for a substantial amount. Thompson was ranked 20th on Forbes’ list of the highest-paid athletes for 2021.

Thompson, like most NBA players, supplements his income with a variety of lucrative sponsorship and endorsement arrangements. Even though he was injured, the Warriors star was able to expand his sponsorship portfolio, and his brand remains attractive among businesses and fans.

Waiakea Water, Bevel, and NERF are among his recent sponsorship relationships, and he also participated in the upcoming Space Jam film and has a shoe deal with Chinese manufacturer Anta for over $8 million per year. His overall endorsement revenues are projected to be around 16 million dollars each year, according to Forbes.
