Draymond Green proved to be the ultimate troll in Game 1 of the NBA Finals on Thursday night and the internet lost its mind.

There’s no doubt about it, Draymond Green is one of the best trolls in sports. He’s a get-in-your-face NBA star who knows how to get under an opponent’s skin and stay there.

In Thursday night’s Game 1 NBA Finals matchup with Cleveland, the former Spartan stirred up some controversy yet again. Not only did he get Tristan Thompson ejected at the end of the game for getting in his face, clapping his hands, but he also mocked Kendrick Perkins and essentially trashed the NBA vets career, insinuating he’s a glorified cheerleader now.

With the game in hand as Golden State was up by 10 in overtime, LeBron James stepped to the line for a couple freebies, but Draymond took his time lining up, mocking Perkins with a cheerleader mock.

As you can imagine, the internet lost its mind, and Cavaliers fans now want a fight between Green and Perkins in Game 2.

Just check out some of the internet reaction to Draymond’s tolling of Perkins.

Clearly many of the comments were from Cleveland fans who want Perkins inserted in Game 2 just to lay a haymaker on Draymond. The former Spartan loves to troll and his antics can sometimes be too much, but he’s accomplishing his goal to get under the skin of Perkins and the Cavaliers.

Trolling is a major part of Draymond’s game and NBA fans are clearly fed up. Will Perkins make an appearance in Game 2, per Cleveland fans’ wishes? It’s doubtful, but it will be talked about leading up to Sunday’s big matchup.

Draymond needs to focus on playing like he did in overtime to lead the Warriors to a win rather than trash talking, but it seems to be working nonetheless.
