ESPN confirmed with Sam Green that all it took to set Draymond off was to chant “Angel Reese” because he bricked five short-range shots in a row.
After the game, Draymond told reporters more about the fans’ antics that he didn’t appreciate.
“He just kept calling me a woman,” Draymond Green told reporters. “It was a good joke at first, but you can’t keep calling me a woman. I got four kids, one on the way. You can’t keep calling me a woman.”
Draymond said all the tough guy talk ceased when he got “a little closer and he didn’t really say much else. But it’s fine. We move on.”
Sam Green maintains that he wasn’t cursing at Draymond, but the Warrior did use profanity when he got in his face, which made him “a little unnerving.”
Once the war of words was over, the fan was approached by ushers, given a warning, but allowed to stay in his courtside seat.
As for Warriors head coach
Steve Kerr, who’s been wrangling Draymond for over a decade, he saw nothing wrong with the not-so-civil conversation.
After all, Draymond’s headstrong personality is nothing new. According to Spotrac, Green has been fined $992,000 in his career and docked $3.2 million for suspensions.
