While both the professionals have mutually decided to put the matter behind them, it has become an interesting topic for opposing teams’ fanbases to attack the defining champs with.
And that is exactly what a few Brooklyn Nets fans did during the Warriors’ latest clash.

Are Draymond Green and JP over the fiasco?
Of course, the situation was a pretty complex one for the GSW organization to handle. On top of it, the video footage going viral made the situation only worse for them.
However, the franchise did a good job of managing the duo’s relationship.
Only a few weeks after the incident, both the champions decided to keep the matter to rest.
“He apologized, and we plan on handling ourselves that way, we’re going to play basketball,” Poole said.
Hopefully, the duo manages to help the Warriors stay afloat in Stephen Curry’s absence.
