    Jayson Tatum Gives Draymond Green Backhand?

    By Lance Roberson,

    2 hours ago

    Jayson Tatum recently appeared on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. The Boston Celtics superstar has kept busy since returning from his gold medal campaign at the Paris Olympics. He recently returned home from his tour in China, where he was advertising his Jordan brand Tatum 3s. During his Jimmy Fallon guest appearance, he gave Golden State Warriors Draymond Green an idea for a future career.

    Fallon asked Tatum which NBA player would make for a great second career in wrestling. The way Fallon smiled as he asked the question and while waiting for Tatum's answer, you'd assumed he knew what was coming next.

    "I love him to death, Draymond Green," said a smiling Tatum.

    Sadly, the reputation Green earned through years of shocking and dirty plays has since made the four-time NBA champion the subject of many punchlines, even that of Fallon, a late-night talk show host who attacks the low-hanging fruit of a joke.

    Green only played 55 games last season, mainly due to multiple suspensions triggered by choking Rudy Gobert and committing a blatantly awkward violent strike to the face of Jusuf Nurkic.

    For the Warriors to succeed, they must depend on Green's defense and pseudo-point guard skills. Stephen Curry nearly played the Warriors into a playoff seed, but 46 wins aren't enough in the current Western Conference, so they steeled for a Play-In Tournament slot.

    The Sacramento Kings eliminated the Warriors a season after the playoff series in which Green recieved a one-game suspension due to stomping on Domantas Sabonis' chest.

    While a WWE career sounds fun and an excuse for Green to rampage, even that company has rules as to what you can and can't do. Green must rein in his emotions and keep his hands to himself unless he's stealing or blocking the ball.
