Draymond Green's wife Hazel Renee makes feelings known as Warriors star channels inner LeBron James against Rudy GobertÂ
Warriors star Draymond Green's wife, Hazel Renee, was as hyped as anyone in his corner after his thunderous dunk in Sunday's game against the Timberwolves. Green channeled his inner LeBron James on that play after he sized up his counterpart Rudy Gobert in an isolation play at the top of the key.
The Warriors veteran stared down the reigning four-time Defensive Player of the Year while dribbling the ball between his legs, blazed past him with a screen assist from Steph Curry before punching the statement dunk to put the finishing touches on the Dubs' 116-104 win.
Here's the possession that made waves online across social media spaces:
Draymond Green's wife, Hazel Renee, was ecstatic to see her husband's athleticism. She posted an Instagram story of that play, saying:
"My old man still got it."
Green replied to her story, flexing his ability to still dunk at the age of 34.
"I got hops baby, I got hops," Draymond wrote on Instagram.
Green left everyone stunned with this possession as nobody saw it coming. His game has been limited for most of his career as a playmaker and screener on offense, with most of his scoring coming off those plays.
It was probably the first time Green sized up his defensive counterpart like a No.1 option on a team before completing the play himself.
