“Tell him man, don't cry”- Draymond Green hilariously roasts Dwyane Wade as Michigan State upsets Marquette to reach Sweet 16
Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green had some fun with Miami Heat legend Dwyane Wade on Sunday. This came as Green’s alma mater, Michigan State, upset Wade’s alma mater, Marquette, in the second round of the 2023 NCAA Tournament.
The seventh-seeded Spartans defeated the second-seeded Golden Eagles 69-60 to advance to the Sweet 16. Following the game, a Marquette player could be seen crying while walking off the court. Green then roasted him along with Wade and his former Warriors teammate and Golden Eagles alumni Juan Toscano-Anderson, via his Instagram story:
“Uh oh, oh, don’t cry. Oh, don't cry. Tell him Juan T, don't cry. D-Wade gotta tell him, man, don't cry. Boys can’t be crying out here,” Green said.
