Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green has never been one to let his opponents get the last laugh, so after Fergie's ex-husband Josh Duhamel called the Warriors star a "prick" for laughing during the singer's performance of the national anthem during the NBA All-Star Game, one couldn't help but wonder how Green would respond.

It took only one day for Draymond and the Warriors to fire back at Duhamel.

After the team's 128-120 win over the New York Knicks on Friday night, a handful of Warriors gathered in the locker room and played a "remix" to Fergie's now-infamous national anthem rendition.

Among those players were Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, Jordan Bell and Green himself, all of whom danced and laughed to the remix. Curry and Green posted the video to Instagram, both with the hashtag "#fergieremixchallenge."

Duhamel saw the video and reacted on Twitter.

Note to self: Think twice before you call out the champs.

Well played @warriors #NBATwitterisnojoke #sorryferg pic.twitter.com/W2ePGvEM8w — Josh Duhamel (@joshduhamel) October 27, 2018 Hahaha it was never any disrespect to her... But the challenge about to be lit G! — Draymond Green (@Money23Green) October 27, 2018

"Note to self: Think twice before you call out the champs," he tweeted. Well played @warriors."

Green responded to Duhamel, and said he never meant any disrespect to Fergie.

"Hahaha it was never any disrespect to her," he tweeted. "But the challenge about to be lit G!"

Fergie herself shared the video on Instagram with the caption, "I knew I wanted it to be special!" The singer tagged Green, Curry and Duhamel in the post.

On Thursday, Duhamel told Fox Sports that he was "pissed off" at Green for his behavior during the anthem.

"The thing that made me upset was that she was taking a lot of really cruel comments, people were really trolling," he said. "I was pissed off at Draymond Green, first of all. I think he owed her an apology. I think he was kind of a prick."

Green wasn't the only one laughing; cameras caught teammate Stephen Curry doing his best to hold in laughter, and several members of the audience also struggled to suppress their giggles.

Fergie's performance was widely panned on social media, with one Twitter user describing it as "so bad that it made Colin Kaepernick stand up."

Still, Duhamel thought Green had a role in some of the social media chatter.

"Just because he knew the camera was on him and he snickered about it," he said. "I just thought that if he would have been a real man he would have at least called her and said 'Listen, I'm sorry that I caused all this."
