No points had been scored in the figҺt between the Golden State Warriors and the Midwest United States franchise when Draymond Green, the parsley of all NBA sauces, returned to the eye of the cyclone with an аggressive foul on Rudy Gobert, the Minnesota Timberwolves’ center.
Until the commotion broke up, no one could free him from the Frenchman’s grip on his neck. He lost five games as a result of the league’s punishment… yet some people will never learn.
This is Green’s latest scаndаl. His feuds with LeBron James, whom he regards as a close friend, as well as his encounters with half the league or his altercation with Jordan Poole, his former locker room partner with the Warriors, are exacerbated by this. But that doesn’t accompany him; they don’t alter him. “I don’t live my life with regrets,” he declared following his required sabbatical.
He uses Gobert as an excuse for his behavior.
When I am in a position to defend a teammate, what if it’s my turn to do so? Who cares about other people’s emotions? that Green related. Concern about the feelings of those closest to me and the best way to follow through are my top priorities. For me, that’s paramount.
Green ignores it, even though his own franchise deals with similar issues. This is crucial.
It was his mistake. His knowledge of that is unwavering. Just punishment—a five-game suspension. Coach Steve Kerr of the Bay Area informed his player that he had gone too far and that he needed to figure out how to hold back. This is absolutely unacceptable; it is a violent act. We need to assist him in distinguishing between being an outstanding competitor and failing to get beyond that level.
Did I get the message? “People don’t know you, so the lesson they think you need is never the right one,” Green closed his eyes, completely unaware of the trutҺ.
He was clearly trying to set himself up for an encounter with a Gobert he feels no compassion for, and he was successful.
