The NBA fraternity works in a myriad of ways. One day, you are fighting each other in a championship-deciding Game 7 and the next you are taking pictures of each other on the streets of Toronto.
The camaraderie players display outside the court is nothing short of remarkable. Despite what goes on the court, outside it, the animosity vanishes. That is unless the vendetta is personal. In some instances it is and it often becomes a storyline for years to come.

They’re close friendship has often been put on public display via social media.
A lot of fans have called out that the two’s amicable relationship might be pointing towards a sign. Their recent outing in Toronto more than confirms it.
If the Warriors don’t offer Draymond the max extension, is there a distinct possibility he heads to the Lakers? Who knows? Perhaps this fan.
Whatever the case, it is good to see NBA players being overly friendly despite harsh rivalries. Wherever Draymond ends up, it is clear their friendship is more about what’s outside the basketball court than on it.
