During the game, the Warriors’ Draymond Green took an elbow to the eye and was forced to go out to get some rest and treatment. However, as he was leaving for the locker-room, Draymond wasn’t pleased with the Grizzlies crowd and gave them the double birds.

Not sure if Draymond’s intention was to pay homage to the NFL legend Eli Manning but Manning sure reminisced his good old days when he did something similar. For the unversed, Manning, on Live TV had flipped the double birds to a 9-year-old Eagles fan, thinking that the fingers will be blurred by the broadcasters.

After seeing what Draymond did, Manning took to Twitter to tell the world that he actually started this trend. “I apologize for starting this trend!!” he Tweeted.

As far as Draymond is concerned, he wasn’t apologetic about what he did. In fact, he claimed that it felt good to flip off the people who don’t shy away from booing a person who is severely injured. “If you’re going to boo somebody who got elbowed in the eye, face running down blood, you should get flipped off,” Green told reporters after the contest ended.

“I’ll take the fine and go make an appearance and make up the money. But it felt really good to flip them off,” he added.
