Mutual show of support from Atleti’s Griezmann and Warriors Draymond Green
The Lakers face the Warriors in the Western Conference Semifinals and French striker Antoine Griezmann showed who he’s supporting.
Atlético Madrid player and well-known NBA basketball fan Antoine Griezmann, nailed his colours to the mast in showing which team he’s supporting in the NBA playoff finals.
The Frenchman has confessed on a number of occasions, that it was Mexican striker Carlos Vela who encouraged him to get into NBA when both players were based in San Sebastian playing for Basque outfit Real Sociedad.
Griezmann wore the number ‘23′ shirt of the Warriors forward, Draymond Green, as the reigning champions tied the series (1-1) with the LA Lakers on Thursday night with a 127-100 win.
Draymond Green ‘returned the favour’ as he sported the red and white Atletico home shirt with Griezmann’s name and number on the back as he arrived at the Chase Center with both the French international and the Warriors power forward being good friends.
