One thing Draymond Green could never do is stay quiet and play basketball. Not playing basketball might be an option, but the former is not. This is not a “shut up and dribble” jab at him.

It’s just that the man would not keep it down even if he had just missed a Playoffs game to a suspension after an uneventful event involving him and Domantas Sabonis of the Sacramento Kings.
In Game 4, within 6 minutes of the starting whistle, the 2017 DPOY went at De’Aaron Fox. The Kings’ point guard did not hold back either. The exchange between the two got them both technical fouls in the first quarter itself.
But what did the two actually say to each other?
De’Aaron Fox called Draymond Green “Old A*s Ni**a” trying to shut his trash talk up
A recent breakdown of the exchange by The Warriors Talk, an independent media outlet that covers the Warriors, revealed the heated yet hilarious exchange between Green and Fox in Game 4.
“Sh*t like that, that’s cheap as f*ck, old ass n****!” Fox told Green after the Dubs forward said, “p*ssy sh*t, all you is is p*ssy.”
Fox: “Don’t be old!”
Draymond: “p*ssy sh*t, all you is is p*ssy.”
Fox: “sh*t like that, that’s cheap as f*ck, old ass n****!”

While it is still unclear who started the whole thing, Draymond, on his latest podcast drop, said it was Fox who came to the rescue of rookie Keegan Murray and Sabonis while Green was giving the latter an earful for their Game 2 incident.
“I return to the game [after the suspension] and, in true Draymond fashion, received a tech [after] about a minute or two of being in the game, if that long,” 4x NBA champ said on The Draymond Green Show. “Fox and I were going back and forth, he was standing up for his guy, telling me it was BS.”
How exciting would Game 5 be?
It would have been the best game of the first round by the buildup to it, as well as from the standpoint that the series is tied.
However, the fracture to the Kings’ point guard’s finger on his shooting hand, might spoil it all. Let’s hope he is able to be 80-90% of his usual self. Otherwise, this series is over.
