Draymond Green is one of the NBA personalities who does not filter what’s on his mind when he is talking, whether it be on the court or off of it.
He recently went on a Twitter rant, where he was advocating for equal pay for his WNBA colleagues while critiquing them for not taking the measures to ensure the same.

Green went on to rant about how WNBA players gather the support of people but fail to monetize the same. He talked about business models but did not research the same. LV Aces’ star Angel McCoughtry took a shot at Green for making these tweets without doing his due research.
“Do your research!”: LV Aces star claps back at Draymond Green
Angel McCoughtry responded to these Draymond tweets with a scathing reply. During a USA Basketball press conference, her words indicated that Green has not taken the time to get educated about the same.
Looks like Draymond should have read up before commenting on the same. Draymond is expected to return to the court against the Hawks.
