The wild comments Draymond Green made are not sitting well with the NBA media, especially with ESPN reporter Tim McMahon.
In case you missed it, these were Draymond’s comments after Game 2:
“I’m not an angry Black man. I am a very successful, educated Black man with a great family, and I am great at basketball and great at what I do,” he said after the game. “The agenda to try to keep making me look like an angry Black man is crazy. I’m sick of it. It’s ridiculous.”
He was hit with the technical foul in the second quarter when he flailed his arms after getting fouled by Naz Reid.
McMahon made pointed comments about Draymond’s reaction.
“Oh, God. You know what? Go away, Draymond,” he said on The Hoop Collective. “Shut up, dude. Do not play victim here. Don’t play the victim here. Stop doing flagrant stuff. We’re sick of it. We’re sick of you doing stupid, flagrant crap on a regular basis. It’s not an agenda, Draymond,” McMahon said. “You get break after break after break after break, and you keep on pushing the line.
“It was not an agenda to make you look angry when you punched your teammate in the face. It was not an agenda to make you look angry when you grabbed Rudy Gobert and put him in a sleeper hold. It was not an agenda to make you look angry when you punched or smacked, or whatever you want to call it, Jusuf Nurkic upside the head.”
McMahon went on to push back on the notion that Green had leaned into counseling off the floor.
“Draymond is full of crap,” McMahon. “He’s just so full of crap that his breath stinks. Like what are we talking about here, dude? Please.”
