The Boston Celtics were chasing history in the NBA Finals, as a win would’ve put them in sole possession of most titles in NBA history. They’re currently tied with the Los Angeles Lakers at 17 apiece.
With the team up 2-1 in the series, that pursuit of history was put on front street prior to Game 4 when Boston gave fans in attendance shirts with the words “It’s all about 18” and a picture of 18 banners — the last of which was blank. That obviously backfired as the Warriors went on to win three straight games and take the series. And Draymond Green didn’t forget.
The ultimate troll move, Green was seen wearing that very shirt Friday, and he used a black marker to fill in the blank banner with “Warriors” where “Boston Celtics” would’ve been. And where the banner would’ve said “2022 World Champions,” he wrote “NOPE!! Maybe in ’23.”

You got to admit. That’s a pretty good.
It’s also not his first troll via wardrobe choice. Green wore all black to the arena for Game 6 and explained he did so in preparation “for a funeral.” The Warriors have clearly paid attention to every slight taken at them over the past two years and they’re milking this moment for all they can, and it’s hard to blame them.
But don’t worry Celtics fans, there’s still a way you can see that coveted 2022 World Champions banner…it’s on this young fan who got it tattooed and said he won’t be removing it.
