Breaking News:Stephen Curry just sacked his agent after serious fight out of greed
Speaking on his self-titled podcast this week, Warriors star Draymond Green opened up on the controversial ejection that shook the basketball world. Instead of finding something to excuse his actions, Dray admitted that he needs to be better going forward.
“I got ejected four minutes into the game. I can’t do it, regardless of what was said. It just can’t happen. I said what I said, I deserved to be kicked out at that point,” said Green. “Kind of wish I would have turned my body and angled it and gone to the bench, but yeah it just can’t happen.”
It was quite a scene in Orlando on Wednesday when Draymond completely lost control mere minutes into the opening quarter. In a span of 35 seconds, Green earned two technicals and was promptly kicked from the game with a final stat line of 0 points and 3 rebounds.
Neither Stephen Curry nor Steve Kerr could hide their frustration in the moment and now some are starting to question if Green has learned anything after his indefinite suspension earlier this season forced him to spend some time away from the action.
The good news is that Draymond seems apologetic about what happened yesterday, but it’s hard to take him seriously with such an extensive history. At this point, the only way for Green to show his discipline will be to get out of trouble, and that’s exactly what the Warriors will need from him if they want to avoid utter disaster this season.
Draymond Green’s issues are not exclusive to this season and many of the demons he’s battling today are the same ones he faced years ago. And while finding a balance continues to be a struggle for him, he’s not the only one who is having a hard time right now.
