I don't think that's the takeaway here. Although I'm sure Green would like to have that shot back, it's not about him having to redeem himself. It's the fact that fans are so entitled, so toxic, that they'll send him death threats over missing a shot. That's the wrong that needs to be righted here.

Incidentally, this isn't the first time it's happened. Steve Blake and his wife also received death threats when he missed a potential game-winning shot in 2012. It doesn't help when celebrity fans such as Snoop Dogg are fanning the flames on social media.

Anyway, Game 6 is a blowout, the title is in the bag. Congratulations to Adam Silver.

I'm not a fan of stad-padding in a blowout, but it is what it is. Lakers weren't there to mess around after Game 5.

In all seriousness, congrats to them and real Lakers fans who aren't pulling toxic BS in losses.

What's the deal with people,man? I honestly think that messages like these in social media should be persecuted and punished accordingly. Put these motherfuckers away for a short amount of time.

To this day, a lot of people subscribe to the notion of "nothing is real on the Internet", which they feel gives them license to act in a way they'd never dare or tolerate otherwise.
