L.A. fans boo Durant, Green before Team USA game
The 12 members of the Olympic roster USA Basketball is sending to Rio might be representing all Americans, but that doesn't mean fans forget where their NBA allegiances lie.
Case in point, Draymond Green and his newest Warriors teammate, Kevin Durant, were booed during pre-game introductions in Los Angeles on Sunday, where the U.S. hosted China in a pre-Rio exhibition game.

Hard to tell who got booed louder during Team USA intros: Kevin Durant or Draymond Green.

Durant, especially, figures to receive a much warmer reception when the American team makes a trip to Oracle Arena on Tuesday for another exhibition contest against the Chinese.
