Draymond Green showed this week that he’s not a man to mess with. After losing to the Minnesota Timberwolves in the second round, the Golden State Warriors were eliminated from the playoffs far sooner than they would have liked.
Their second-round loss was mostly caused by superstar point guard Steph Curry’s hamstring strain, of course, but his teammates failed to step up to give him a chance to play. The Warriors are currently watching the Conference Finals from home after Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green, their forwards, were incredibly disappointing while Curry was out.
Well, except for Draymond Green.

Alongside Shaquille O’Neal, Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith, and Ernie Johnson, the Warriors’ great forward will have the chance to assist TNT in covering the Eastern Conference Finals.
The New York Knicks’ fan base is undoubtedly feeling the pinch from their 0–2 disadvantage as Green has been in Madison Square Garden to cover back-to-back losses to the Indiana Pacers.
Green got into a brief, heated altercation with a Knicks fan while attending Game 2 at Madison Square Garden, which went viral on social media. Green got asked by a Knicks fan, “How was Cancun?”
“Can you afford to go?!” Green answered right away.
Ouch! Naturally, Green’s on-court antics are well known to both league insiders and outsiders, so it is not surprising at all when a fan tries to attack him in a heated environment.
