What Green does isn't part of any culture.
His 'things' cost GSW a ring last season and fortunately for the rest of the teams in the league he has a big mouth who will give him and his team more troubles in the future.

I was always brought up with the belief that arrogance is one of the worst traits a person can have and I'm a minority, too who's liberal as FUCK. This isn't a black/white/latino thing, despite what others here think. It's simply about class and humility. These players are getting paid millions to play a game...THAT alone should be fun. This shimmy shit and flexing muscles shit is high school garbage grown men shouldn't be doing, IMO, regardless of your race/ethnic background.
Most these sports stars are of the man-child variety, and only really grow up in their 30s because we let them get away with thinking they're the most important people in the world. I'm so happy that I'm a spurs fan, and that our team and player culture supersedes that mentality.
