“All these guys have a chip on their shoulder and exterior motivations from people that have always doubted them and criticized them,” Green told Postmedia on a recent video call. “So to see (the Pacers) kind of shut those people up and make it to where they are, I couldn’t be happier for the group,” he said after also comparing them to his Raptors team that wasn’t expected to even make it to the final round, let alone win the championship. “Because I was one of those guys that was always doubted as well. So I know the similar criticism that they’re getting.”
