Boston, Massachusetts - The Boston Celtics' favorite team mascot Deuce Tatum and their least favorite NBA player Draymond Green are apparently the best of friends!

The Warriors star forward and the 5-year-son of Celtics' Jayson Tatum are best pals, and they didn't care to hide their friendship in a cute post-game interaction that buzzed on social media!

While Deuce's father was being interviewed following Bostons' 121-118 win over Golden State, the little man stole the spotlight, waving at the cameras that are always seemingly waiting for the young star.

But Green wasn't going to miss the chance of some roughhousing. He snuck up on the kid, put a towel over his head, and scooped him up in an adorable hug! Both giggling, Green flipped Deuce like popcorn until he landed back on his feet.

While the four-time NBA champion Green is known for his serious character, the playful moment was the perfect reminder of his fun side that fans almost never get to see.

The hilarious interaction caught the attention of many hoops fans, who took to Twitter raving over the adorable moment.

"You know what? It is kinda wholesome ngl," one fan tweeted.

"Moments like this make me smile," someone else shared.

While Green won't be able to set up another sneak attack on Deuce in his next game on Friday, he will be sure to attack on the court against the Cleveland Cavaliers at 7:30 PM EST.
