Draymond Green is one of the more polarizing players in the entire NBA. Fans of the Golden State Warriors love him, however, fans around the league have a much less favorable view of him. Unfortunately, this leads to some fan reactions that are simply unacceptable.
If you’ve been watching the NBA since the bubble, you would know that fans have gotten bolder. Some of them are simply out of pocket, and subsequently, we’ve seen an uptick in lifetime bans. Overall, it is a hostile environment for players like Green.

Draymond Green Gets Fan Ejected
Last night, Draymond was in Milwaukee where he took on the Bucks alongside his Warriors teammates. As you will see in the clips below, he was met with some jeers from a fan who was courtside at the baseline. Overall, Green was not happy with what was being said.
This ultimately led to him going up to the referee and pointing to the man. Eventually, the ref called security over and the man was promptly ejected.
Following the game, Green told reporters that the man had made death threats. When made aware of this, the ref felt as though action needed to be taken immediately.
“There are no real consequences,” Green said. “Yeah, you can’t come back to the game, or even if you get arrested, nothing really happens … you just hope it gets to a point where these leagues can work with legislators to implement laws because that’s the only thing that’s really going to correct the issue.”

Needless to say, Green is not too optimistic about what is going to happen, moving forward. This is just a bad situation for everyone, and it will be interesting to see what kind of punishment that fan receives.
Stay tuned to HNHH as this is currently a developing story.
Draymond Green and the Golden State Warriors visited the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday night. During the game, Green could be seen speaking to a fan. Moments later, Green alerted the official of the conversation, leading to the fan’s ejection.

The incident occurred in the third quarter as Green lined up on the free throw line while Giannis Antentokounmpo was shooting. In the postgame, Green stated the fan said, “some threatening things to my life.”
Green stated he once thought about escalating the confrontation but kept his composure and spoke to a referee. The ref would get security and have the fan escorted out of the game.
“Some people look at NBA players like they’re superhuman,” Green said to ESPN. “That they’re this larger-than-life figure. So you come, and you get someone to say something back, and they get fined. They go home and laugh with their buddies.
“I think it’s just one of those things when you can hold it in and get to the ref and get them out; it’s great.”

Draymond Green will need a new contract soon and he is letting the Golden State Warriors front office know he wants the max. According to The Athletic, Green is eligible for a new deal on August 3 and he wants a max deal that would pay him $164.2 million over the next five seasons.
Green’s deal is coming as the Warriors will soon have to make contract offers to Andrew Wiggins, Klay Thompson, and Jordan Poole if they decide to keep them all. The ask would require a trip into the luxury tax.
The Athletic notes the Warriors have no plan to offer a max deal to Green, and there are currently no talks of an extension. Green has two years left on his four-year extension from 2019 but has a players option on the final year of the deal.
Green is stated to want to stay with the Warriors but if he doesn’t get his preferred contract, Green may explore additional options.

Steph Curry would not be happy if the Warriors lost Draymond Green because the team didn’t want to pay him, sources tell @ThompsonScribe and @anthonyVslater.
The Golden State Warriors are on their victory lap. Adding a fourth ring in 8 years, no one is partying harder than Draymond Green who popped appeared courtside with a bottle of Lobos 1707 Tequila shortly after the game ended.
Green is an investor of Lobos 1707 with his friend and fellow NBA star Draymond Green.
Klay Thompson was also out partying with Andrew Wiggins, Juan Tuscano Anderson, and Jordan Poole in what can only be described as an epic run across Vegas.
Golden State Warriors’ Draymond Green doesn’t run from any smoke thrown his way. On Friday’s episode of ESPN’s First Take, Kendrick Perkins ripped Green for being scared to shoot the ball and doing more talking than balling.
After eliminating the Memphis Grizzlies in 6 games and clinching a spot in the Western Conference Finals, Green aired out Perkins in possibly the worst way ever, including calling the man an ogre.
“Something came to my phone earlier,” Green said to reporters. “Some guy saying I’m scared to shoot the basketball. Scared and me in the same sentence is brutal. But you got a big ogre on TV talking about what Draymond says ain’t the gospel. It is the gospel. What I say is the gospel. When you say that multiple times on several different segments, you must think what I say is the gospel. So, you got to come out and shut some guys up sometimes. When you got people talking out the side of their neck. ‘Anybody can make the pass Draymond make.’ That’s just stupid.
“But these are people who get employed to talk on TV about our game. ‘Anybody could make that pass.’ You make that pass. We’d love to see it. I played against the guy by the way. I’m talking about Kendrick Perkins for those of y’all that don’t know. I’m never duckin’ no smoke. As the Memphis Grizzlies’ towels say, I don’t duck smoke. ‘Anybody could make that pass.’ You couldn’t, so good luck. You just got to come out and shut people up sometimes. It was very fun to do.”
Not too long after Green made those comments, Perkins took to social media to fire right back with a funny quote “You ain’t handsome! You damn sure ain’t cute!”

While the back and forth makes for great tv, Green and the Warriors have regained their championship form. Don’t expect the back and forth to end anytime soon. Perkins has a right to express his opinion, and Green has his.
Three-time NBA Champion Draymond Green is back on the basketball court and is ready to make another title run with the Golden State Warriors. Ahead of his grueling playoff run, green has announced a new partnership with Amazon Glow, which showcases how the device keeps him engaged with his family while on the road.
Ahead of taking on Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets in San Francisco at the Chase Center before a couple of games in Denver. Draymond detailed his use of the Amazon Glow, balancing work and family, and what he expects of the young players on the Golden State Warriors.
The SOURCE:You are juggling a lot! You are, of course, a basketball star, then the efforts of a businessman and media member. With that said, fatherhood is the most important, how did Amazon Glow become the tool for helping you stay connected with your children?
Draymond Green: Amazon Glow has truly bridged the gap and helped lessen the miles between myself and my children. With Amazon Glow, I am able to actively participate with my kids in their day-to-day life whether that be reading with them or helping them with cognitive learning exercises. Amazon Glow has allowed me to interact with my children and help with their upbringing even though I am hundreds of miles away.
How were you originally introduced to Amazon Glow?
I found Amazon Glow as I was constantly looking for devices to make my life easier with travel. Oftentimes, travel can interfere with family life with different school schedules, practice schedules, etc. I was looking for a way to bring me closer to my children while I am on the road and Amazon Glow is a great solution.
How did you stay connected with a busy life prior to Amazon Glow?
My wife, she is 100% the backbone of our family and keeps us all in order and the kids on track. She is the one who also fosters our relationship when I am on the road. I am extremely for her and to have the opportunity to now interact with the kids regardless of where I am in the world.
What were your initial reactions to Amazon Glow and how did it make a difference in your life?
It was amazing, the first time we used it I was able to see the kids’ pure reactions which was priceless. Being able to play games like memory match and charades with them or read with them, even while I’m far away, is everything. Glow makes it feel like we’re magically sitting side-by-side in the same room. As a parent, I want to be able to interact with my kids daily and be a part of their upbringing as much as I can, thankfully Amazon Glow has allowed me to do that.
We had a lengthy absence for you this season. How did it feel both physically and mentally getting back on the court?
Physically I feel pretty good about 85%, but mentally I feel fantastic. I have never been injured for this long before and it grew my appreciation for the game tremendously. Just to have the opportunity to do what I love again and to compete with my teammates instead of watching from home on the couch meant everything to me.
We finished the final week of the season. Had a big win against Utah. Put up a strong effort against Phoenix. And those were without Steph. What have you seen in your team these last couple of weeks and how do you view your team headed into the first round?
As a team, I think we have finally started to turn the corner. Before we were in a rut, losing a game and then winning the next, but eventually we could finally see it turning in our favor. I will say, not many teams pop out of a rut with a 50-point win. Now we are playing our brand of basketball again and it is coming at the right time.
You have played on some deep teams. This one is deep but young. How do you expect the younger guys on the team to transition into playoff basketball?
I think they are transitioning well; most teams raise their level of competition/physicality inthe last 20-30 games of the season in anticipation of playoffs. I think initially we struggled since we are a younger team and are more inexperienced, but once we went through our adjustment period, we were able to raise our level of physicality and raise our level of competitiveness.
Intruders ravished Draymond Green’s Los Angeles home, stealing over $1 million in items including watches and jewelry.
According to TMZ, Draymond was at the Super Bowl during the robbery and came home to find his home ransacked. The robbers entered Draymond’s home through a window and escaped with watches, jewelry, and more.
Currently, there have been no arrests made in the case.
On the brighter side for Draymond, he starred in Build a Bigger Table: All for the Pack, a new digital campaign from Lobos 1707 Tequila and Mezcal. Green is an investor in the tequila brand. The campaign, which was created and directed by creator and Chief Creative Officer Diego Osorio, is based on real-life events in which Lobos 1707 draws people together, and it highlights how each person participating in the tequila’s creation is vital to the Pack. The bottle is being passed down from founders and investors to jimadors, distillers, mixologists, industry leaders, and partners who have all contributed to the brand’s success. The film weaves together each person’s involvement in the brand’s story and achievements thus far.
