Draymond Green Reacts to Kyrie Irving Not Swapping Jerseys With Dillon Brooks

In this story:
After a lot of back-and-forth in the media, Dillon Brooks in Kyrie Irving finally faced off on Monday night in the Dallas Mavericks vs. Memphis Grizzlies game. Brooks played solid defense on Irving, and the Grizzlies as a team were able to hold the star point guard to 0-9 from the field in the fourth quarter, which helped them secure a much needed win.
After the game, it looked as if Irving and Brooks were going to swap jerseys, but Irving never actually took the jersey from Dillon Brooks. The clip has gone viral on social media, and Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green shared his reaction to the clip during a recent podcast episode:

Green and Brooks have a well documented beef, that seems to have kicked up a notch this season. The two vocal leaders for their respective squads have gone back-and-forth several times this season, taking shots at one another in interviews and podcast episodes. Green's reaction was hilarious, simply just laughing at the fact that Kyrie Irving did not take a jersey from Dillon Brooks. Needing no words to share his reaction, Green made it very clear that he was amused by what he saw.
While Draymond Green does not consider the Warriors and Grizzlies to be a rivalry, there is a level of animosity between the two sides, and even more so between Green and Brooks.
