Lakers' Danny Green Getting Blasted For Missing Late-Game Shot

Danny Green is one of the purest shooters in the NBA, he has a championship packed resume, and on Friday night, LeBron James gave Green a chance to hit one of the biggest shots of his career. 

Green missed short-rim. 

It didn't take long for the masses to take shots at Green for missing his, and the chirps were coming from all over the globe. Someone even dug up one of Green's tweets from eight years ago, that appears to be as timeless as ever.

When you get blasted by Snoop Dogg, that's got to be tough....

Mark Jackson says he's "embarrassed" for Laker fans who sent Danny Green and his fiancé death threats over Green's missed shot, noting "we're better than that as a people. It's just basketball."
Jeff Van Gundy: "I'm not sure we are better than that."
