Draymond Green isn’t the most ‘well liked’ personality the NBA has to offer. Looked at as an antagonist of sorts for some of his shenanigans on the court, he’s gotten himself quite the anti-fanbase. However, he certainly doesn’t deserve the kind of hate one fan in particular sent his way recently.

Green found himself in the ‘argumentative limelight’ yet again following the Warriors 124-106 win over the Pelicans last night. He went back and forth with a fan on the sidelines after heckling him with “Angel Reese” comments repeatedly.
Post-game, Green said, “It was a good joke at first but you can’t keep calling me a woman. I’ve got four kids and one on the way. He got quiet though so it was fine.”
There was no technical fine served to Draymond nor was the fan disciplined in any manner as the exchange was purely verbal and short-lived. Though, if the ref and Brandin Podziemski hadn’t intervened, perhaps it could’ve escalated into something uglier as the fan reportedly goaded Dray into punching him.
Following this mild dust-up, Draymond was assaulted by an insanely unjustified comment on Threads. The online patron wrote, “The day Dray blows out an Achilles will be a beautiful day.”
An incredibly vile thing to put out into the universe. Draymond has had two teammates tear his Achilles (Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson) and so he knows just how much of an arduous and painful trial that is to go through.
In response, he said, “Your parents hate you. What a life.” Simple, short and sweet.

Is Draymond Green unpopular in the realm of the NBA? Perhaps. Does he deserve to be unpopular? Maybe given his history in the league. But, does he deserve to be told that he needs to suffer a potential career-ending injury? Absolutely not. No one does regardless of their past actions.
This wasn’t the only hate comment he got. A much tamer one was a fan telling him he shouldn’t be in the Hall of Fame with 9/7/6 career averages. “Debate it with ya mama and see what answer she comes up with,” said Green in return.
Safe to say that the former DPOY isn’t afraid to speak his mind. Especially when someone seems to be putting a career-altering hex on him.
