'More calf raises': McCollum chirps Draymond for missed dunk

Draymond Green put in a near flawless performance Sunday to give his Golden State Warriors an edge against the Portland Trail Blazers in Game 1.

Green had 19 points, 12 rebounds, nine assists, three steals, and five blocks on 6-of-10 shooting to go along with a game-high plus-15 rating, but Trail Blazers guard C.J. McCollum couldn't help but nitpick.

McCollum advised Green to work on his vertical after Green clanked an ambitious dunk attempt in the second half.

"Yeah, he told me I need to do more calf raises," Green told Sam Amick of USA Today.

As it turns out, McCollum was just giving Green a taste of his own medicine.

"Where I come from, if you talk trash to me, I'll talk trash to you. There's nothing disrespectful, we're not talking about nobody's mamas or anything like that," McCollum explained afterward.
