One of the best guns out there': Paul George on Danny Green receiving death threats

One of the few players who’s faced worse backlash than Danny Green in the bubble is Paul George. The 6-time All Star posted an Instagram story in support of Green today.

Paul George went through a wretched bubble period himself. He had 3 straight poor shooting games against the Mavs in the first round, and was incessantly trolled for it.

He then made it to the Nuggets series, during which he capitulated in the final 3 games in abject fashion. George revealed that he’d been going through some depression during his cold shooting streak.

Having tasted the saltiness and entitled nature of LA sports fans first hand himself, George had some words of encouragement for a fellow shooter.

He took to Instagram to post a message in support of Green. It’s telling that there were some shameless :fans” handing out death threats to him.

Green himself had come out in support of George when the latter had been struggling against the Clippers. During the time when family members of the teams weren’t allowed in the bubble, many players felt lonely and isolated.

The NBA is a tight-knit community of ballers. It’s good that they always have each other’s backs.
