Feb. 2 (UPI) -- Sleepy Draymond might be the only thing that can 'blanket' the Golden State Warriors.

Warriors forward Draymond Green is notorious for taking photos of his sleeping teammates and posting them on social media. On Thursday, teammate Javale McGee got his revenge.

McGee posted a video while aboard the Warriors' team plane. In the video, he hands out blankets to all of his teammates. But they aren't just normal airplane blankets. The sheets featured a giant photo of Green sleeping with his mouth open.

"That's hilarious dawg," Green said in the video, while Kevin Durant cracks up. Warriors superstar Stephen Curry also got a kick out of the prank from his new teammate.

Green is averaging 10.4 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 7.4 assists per game. McGee, who signed with the Warriors in September, is averaging 5.7 points and 2.6 rebounds in 8.5 minutes per game.

The Warriors beat the Charlotte Hornets Wednesday in Oakland and faced the Los Angeles Clippers Thursday on the road.
