Things aren’t looking too great for Draymond Green and the Golden State Warriors at the moment. For starters they are currently down 0-2 in this series, something that has happened for the first time in the Stephen Curry era. And secondly, both their losses were very much winnable games. But, on both occasions, the franchise almost seemed to shoot itself in the foot.

When it came to game 1, the fact that Stephen Curry didn’t even play 40 minutes was a huge talking point. And now, of course, it is the Draymond Green ejection. And as you’d expect, it was always something he was going to reveal his thoughts on. And sure enough, you can check them out below.

However, what about the man’s podcast? Did he really start shooting his episode on Game-2 right after being ejected? Or is it all a hoax brought about by the flippant nature of the NBA community?
Did Draymond Green really start shooting his podcast right after getting ejected?
Draymond Green is a lot of things. Uncommitted to the Golden State Warriors though most definitely isn’t one of them.
Green is the heart and soul of this franchise. So, it’s more than just a little out of character for him to just go to the locker room, and start shooting his reaction while the game is still going on. And sure enough, this was just a giant hoax brought by one of the most infamous NBA Twitter accounts of all time.

“How I cost the Warriors a ring.”
Of course, the more you really look at it, the more… hoaxy it all really seems. However, who’d tell the NBA community that? After all, if it really happened, it’d be beyond hilarious. And apparently, that’s all that needs to happen for a story such as this one to grab the eyes of countless fans around the world.
How did the fans react?
Speaking of fans though, how did they react to this… ‘news’? Did they believe it? Or did they know better and simply chuckle at it? Here are just some of the reactions.

Fairly mixed, so really it’s just a flurry of people laughing at this whole thing in their own way. And really, what more could you expect from the NBA community?
