Draymond Green is a tough competitor on the court. He's pretty tough in a press conference too.
When asked by a reporter to compare the Warriors‘ opening playoff series against the Rockets to the tragic flooding that has been occurring in Houston, Green stood his ground and refused to be baited into saying something insensitive.

As Green says, basketball is one thing, and the homes and lives of the people of Houston is completely another thing. To compare them in anyway is just nonsense.
This was apparently the second time that same reporter asked Green about the flood, and it will be his last. The rookie reporter was fired after the incident.
The reporter who continued to ask Draymond Green questions about the Houston floods was fired about 1 hour after the Game 4 press conference

He's a 1st year reporter, born and raised in China. He was working for a Chinese publication, but based in Houston. Fired after Game 4.

Good for you, Draymond, for standing up for yourself and reiterating what's really important here.
