Aaron Craft's dream has always been to play in the NBA, but I imagine it didn't involve Draymond Green's bullshit.
Green, a petty second round pick of the Golden State Warriors in 2012, has averaged 4.6 points and 4.3 rebounds in an NBA career that also apparently saw him appointed as King of the World. Unfortunately, he's now a teammate of Aaron Craft.
From earlier this month, via Diamond Leung of IbaBuzz.com:
OAKLAND – Aaron Craft has been seen wearing a pink backpack as Warriors rookies often are forced to do, and it was former Big Ten rival Draymond Green that made sure the Ohio State grad got one with sparkles and a cartoon character on it.
“He came in the locker room with an Ohio State backpack,” Green said, the Michigan State alum smiling. “I went straight to the store and got the pink backpack. Tell them blame Craft, coming in with that ‘O’ on his back. Uh, (nobody) wants to see that.”
Craft and Green faced off numerous times in college. When Green was a senior and Craft was a sophomore, Ohio State clinched a share of the Big Ten regular-season title in 2012 after beating Michigan State on the road and preventing the Spartans from claiming the outright title. The Spartans avenged the loss in the Big Ten tournament, beating the Buckeyes in the championship game.
Well, you know the old saying: if you can't beat them, haze them:

And yes, there's video proof of Craft signing an old hit of his:
Stay strong, Aaron. Help is on the way.
