Draymond Green gave a Jordan Poole fan a moment to remember Friday during an event held in QuZhou, China.

The Golden State Warriors star paid a visit to the Asian nation to participate in a streetball game against two Chinese hoopers. A game was initially announced as a one-on-one contest to 100, but was altered to two-on-two when Friday’s festivities kicked off.

Green and his teammate Slim dominated competitors Chen Zewen and Cheng Xinkai in a 100-59 blowout. But that doesn’t mean the action never got testy. Cheng decided to rock a Jordan Poole jersey for the contest.

With Green’s squad just 11 points away from winning, the Warriors star missed a wide-open dunk after knocking Cheng to the ground. Once Cheng got up, Green playfully put him in a headlock.

Here are a few highlights from the event, including another angle of Green’s headlock on Cheng.

Warriors fans won’t ever forget about Green’s infamous feud with former teammate Poole. The practice altercation formed a rift between Green and Poole that was never fixed.

Green appears comfortable enough to joke about it nearly three years after he threw the notorious punch. The headlock, however, would’ve been more appropriate had Draymond’s opponent been wearing a Rudy Gobert jersey.
