After the game Green said, \u201cThat shit ain\u2019t happening. This ain\u2019t summer league bro. Not just gonna dunk on nobody. Better luck next time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That next time happened early in the first quarter of Wednesday's game and instead of trying to block the 2018 NBA Dunk contest favorite, Draymond quickly moved out of the way to avoid the possibility of ending up on a poster.
