Golde State Warriors star Draymond Green is not happy with NBA on TNT broadcasters.
Draymond Green took to Twitter Tuesday night to question TNT broadcaster and NBA Hall of Famer Reggie Miller over comments made about Anthony Davis kicking Jae Crowder in the groin.
The Warriors star was seemingly upset that TNT referenced Davis’ groin kick as unintentional, while not giving him the benefit of the doubt for similar incidences in the past, which of course were brought up on the broadcast and all over NBA Twitter tonight.
Warriors: Draymond Green upset Davis’ groin kick labeled “unintentional”
Green has a bit of a reputation for kicking players where it hurts. At this point, it would be hard for him to argue otherwise. There was an infamous instance in the 2016 NBA Playoffs where he kicked then-Oklahoma Thunder forward Steven Adams in the jewels in game three of the Western Conference Finals. Unfortunately, it’s become somewhat of a habit for the three-time All-Star, who tends to fling his leg out when shooting jumpers or going up for rebounds.
However, what Green took issue with is not that he was mentioned, but that Miller labeled Davis’ kick as unintentional and implied that perhaps his was not.
We won’t speculate as to who is right about Green’s intentions or lack thereof. But if NBA Twitter has anything to say about it, Draymond might be in for a few more spats this evening. At least he’s got some time on his hands with the Warriors knocked out of the playoffs.
