Draymond Green Articles - Page 30

Draymond Green is quite the polarizing figure, isn’t he? Depending on who you talk to, the Golden State Warriors forward is either a brilliant defensive genius or a dangerous hot-headed veteran who’s way past his prime. After repeated incidents of way-too-physical play, the NBA suspended Green indefinitely before ultimately returning in January. In his return, […]

The Golden State Warriors picked up a wild 113-112 win over the Phoenix Suns on Saturday night, and while Stephen Curry’s absurd game-winning shot got most of the attention, the renewed beef between Draymond Green and Jusuf Nurkic was front and center in this one. After the game, Nurkic fired some shots at Green that […]

SAN FRANCISCO — So much for any remaining mutual respect between Draymond Green and Jusuf Nurkic. In their first matchup since Green struck the Phoenix Suns big man in the face in mid-December, drawing an indefinite suspension mandated by both the NBA and his team, the Golden State Warriors star certainly didn’t back away from […]

Draymond Green is not the most popular role model in the league. The Golden State Warriors forward has been suspended by Adam Silver twice this season. Jusuf Nurkic, one of the two people he hit, had to face him yet again. As the Phoenix Suns matched the intensity of the Bay Area team, tensions were […]

After Stephen Curry hit a huge three-pointer to give the Golden State Warriors the lead, there was still time on the clock. Steve Kerr knew that the Phoenix Suns could pull the trigger on all three levels of scoring with Kevin Durant and Devin Booker leading the charge. The head honcho launched the perfect defensive […]

The Golden State Warriors’ Draymond Green commented on the New York Knicks’ recent trades at the deadline, and he seemed to push back on the notion they may be an NBA Finals contender. After trading for OG Anunoby on Dec. 30 and acquiring Bojan Bogdanovic and Alec Burks from the Detroit Pistons on the day […]

In recent years, many NBA personalities, past and present, have been sharing their personal stories about the late Kobe Bryant. One of the greatest names in the sport, Bryant leaves behind a legacy that never ceases to put both players and fans in awe. This is precisely why a good deal of heartwarming tales about […]

The trade deadline came and went with the Golden State Warriors barely lifting a finger. Sending Cory Joseph and $5.8 million to the Indiana Pacers in exchange for a second-round pick lowered Joe Lacob’s tax bill and opened up a roster spot, but will hardly help the Dubs on their quest to re-emerge as contenders […]

At this point in the season, the Golden State Warriors are needing to win every time they take the court. Although the Warriors have averaged the third-most points per game this season in the Western Conference, they have surrendered the third-most points per game to their opponents. This has resulted in their lackluster 22-25 record […]

Recently, the Milwaukee Bucks sent shockwaves rippling throughout the NBA landscape when it was announced that they would be firing head coach Adrian Griffin despite a relatively successful first few months at the helm. Griffin was replaced by Doc Rivers, who has not exactly gotten off to an excellent start in his Bucks tenure thus […]

Power forward Draymond Green and the Golden State Warriors are currently nearing the end of what has been a grueling East Coast road trip. The Warriors most recently got into the win column with a road victory over the Brooklyn Nets on Monday evening from New York, but it seems that Green’s status for the […]

For a renowned shooter like Klay Thompson, sitting out the closing minutes of a game must feel different than what he’s normally used to. Unfortunately for him, that’s what happened on Monday night. The Golden State Warriors won against the Brooklyn Nets, but Thompson was nowhere to be seen down the stretch. In the locker […]

Forgive me for making a tremendous understatement, but Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green is not afraid to speak his mind, and nor should he be. Both on and off the court, Draymond’s demonstrative nature has made him one of the most captivating (and controversial) NBA players of the 21st century, and it’s what will […]

Stephen Curry had one heck of a Saturday night. Sinking 10 three-pointers, the two-time MVP scored 60 points. There was only one problem: the Golden State Warriors lost. Speaking on his podcast, Warriors forward Draymond Green lamented how frustrating it was to come out on the losing end of their most recent outing. “(It’s) very […]

The Golden State Warriors lost to the Atlanta Hawks despite a 60-point performance from Stephen Curry. It was a wild game that went into overtime and, in the opinion of Draymond Green, was officiated quite differently than most games. Green, who notched eight assists, seven points and six rebounds in the Warriors’ loss, accidentally got […]

Remember widespread recent calls for the Golden State Warriors to add a proven secondary scorer and creator? All signs point to the Dubs largely standing pat at the trade deadline, content to play out a tumultuous 2023-24 season with the personnel status quo behind Stephen Curry. A sobering appraisal of the Warriors’ standing in a […]

In a candid revelation, Las Vegas Aces’ star A’ja Wilson shared her deep disappointment on finishing below the top spots in the WNBA MVP race, a sentiment that became a driving force for her and her team during their WNBA Finals run last season. Wilson didn’t hold back her feelings in a recent interview with […]

The NBA trade deadline is right around the corner (February 8) and the Golden State Warriors are heavily involved in rumors. There’s been buzz the organization may move on from Klay Thompson and Draymond Green. However, the latest rumors are suggesting the exact opposite. Despite struggling throughout much of this season, the Warriors reportedly don’t […]

The Golden State Warriors have found a gem in guard Brandin Podziemski, who was recently named an NBA Rising Star in the 2024 NBA All-Star Weekend. With Klay Thompson out, Brandin Podziemski started alongside Stephen Curry and Draymond Green during the Warriors’ much-needed win over the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday night. He had a solid […]

This season has turned into a roller coaster ride filled with many question marks for the Golden State Warriors. After defeating the Philadelphia 76ers 119-107 on Tuesday night, the Warriors find themselves at 20-24 on the season. A lot of noise has been made about Andrew Wiggins’ future with Golden State given his struggles this […]

The Milwaukee Bucks are a week removed from firing head coach Adrian Griffin and one game into Doc Rivers’ tenure with the team, while plenty of names in the NBA community continue to voice their opinions on the situation. That includes Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green, who commented on Milwaukee’s new coach on Wednesday. […]

The Golden State Warriors picked up a 119-107 win over the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday, and despite the win, Draymond Green had some thoughts on his podcast about the foul that he picked up on the opening tip while guarding superstar Joel Embiid in the first quarter, which eventually led to him to sitting out […]

Joel Embiid is putting together another MVP-caliber season for the Philadelphia 76ers, but if he keeps on missing games at the rate he currently is, he won’t have a shot to win the award. That’s because of new rules the league put in place this past offseason for their individual awards in an attempt to […]

The Golden State Warriors (20-24) are likely going to have their backs against the wall for the rest of the regular season, scrapping and clawing to make the NBA playoffs. In order to sustain the necessary pace it will take to mount such a second-half surge, they must be able to lean on their youth. […]

A lot can be said about Draymond Green, but he is one person you want in your corner as a hype man. After the Golden State Warriors earned a home win against the Philadelphia 76ers, the four-time champion showed some support for a local sports hero who has been under the microscope all seasonlong. “There’s […]

So much for Draymond Green’s lack of size dooming him as the Golden State Warriors’ full-time starting center. If Joel Embiid can’t exploit Dubs up front, it’s safe to say their new starting lineup will be just fine in that regard as the season continues. Opening at small-ball five next to Jonathan Kuminga and Andrew […]

The Philadelphia 76ers have been in the spotlight recently regarding the health of star big man Joel Embiid. Joel Embiid was set to play in the Sixers big game against the Denver Nuggets this past weekend for a star matchup against Nikola Jokic. He was ruled out during warmups due to a knee issue. On […]

Heading into the Philadelphia 76ers’ Tuesday night clash against the Golden State Warriors, it wasn’t clear whether or not Joel Embiid would be healthy enough to suit up. Thus, it was a welcome sight to see Embiid return to the hardwood after two controversy-filled absences this past weekend. Alas, a physical matchup against Draymond Green […]

There’s a chance the Golden State Warriors look a bit different once the trade deadline finally comes and goes. Leading up to February 8th, though, the Dubs are finally set to give an extended look to the lineup that’s broadly considered their best. Before Tuesday’s matchup with the Philadelphia 76ers, Steve Kerr told reporters that […]

Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green was on his self-titled show and talked about the disappointment he felt when it was announced he wouldn’t be part of Team USA for this summer’s Paris Olympics. He also talked about former player and USA basketball executive director Grant Hill as he made the public comments that Green […]

In Saturday’s Warriors-Lakers game, Draymond Green found himself at the center of yet another on-court controversy. Green’s apparent slap to Anthony Davis’ face, coupled with a mocking NSFW response to Jarred Vanderbilt’s plea for a flagrant foul review, reignited discussions about Green’s conduct on the court. This incident came to be shortly after Warriors’ head […]

Los Angeles Lakers big man Anthony Davis exited Saturday night’s game against the Golden State Warriors after suffering an apparent lower-body injury in the second half. Anthony Davis heading back to the locker room walking gingerly pic.twitter.com/YsMHmTi48u — Oh No He Didn't (@ohnohedidnt24) January 28, 2024 Apparently, Davis sustained the injury when he collided with […]

In a pivotal moment for the Golden State Warriors, head coach Steve Kerr has signaled the readiness of Draymond Green to rejoin the starting lineup. Green, a linchpin for the Warriors with his defensive prowess and leadership on the court, has been absent from the starting five since being reinstated from a suspension that drew […]

Every time it seems like the Golden State Warriors take a step forward this season, they wind up taking two steps backwards. Currently in the midst of a 4-9 stretch, the Warriors find themselves 19-23 on the season, sinking further down the Western Conference standings. Between the team’s lack of success and Draymond Green’s suspensions, […]

Another heartbreaking defeat. It’s either that or just a completely disheartening blowout performance. That’s been the theme for the Golden State Warriors all season after they suffered another heartbreaking defeat at the hands of the Sacramento Kings on Thursday night. With another loss, Stephen Curry and the Warriors continue to fall further in the Western Conference […]

SAN FRANCISCO — Jonathan Kuminga caught the ball just past halfcourt with a clear lane to the rim as the Sacramento Kings frantically set their defense. He’d lived in the paint all night long, proving too quick, strong and crafty for the Kings to stop when he put the ball on the deck with a […]

The beef between Draymond Green and Chris Paul was a known issue throughout the league before the two became teammates on the Golden State Warriors. The two stars truly did not like each other, but once Paul was acquired by the Warriors, the two needed to work things out. Paul and Green talked about overcoming […]

There’s been so much Draymond Green drama surrounding the Golden State Warriors this season that the latest episode of beef between Chris Paul and Scott Foster has largely been forgotten about. In a loss to the Phoenix Suns back in November, Foster ejected Paul in the second quarter for arguing a call, leading to Adam […]

Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green had on teammate Chris Paul on his self-titled show on Bleacher Report for an interview where they talked about an array of topics. One of the talking points was Green listing off his top five teammates he has had in his lengthy career. Even though it is Paul’s first […]
