San Francisco, CA – The Golden State Warriors took down the Oklahoma City Thunder for the second time this season. But one of the highlights of the postgame interviews was about the NBA rule change and Brooklyn Nets star James Harden.

“Can I say how satisfying it's been to watch the game of basketball without all those bulls##t calls? I'm sorry, I'm not supposed to curse,” Warriors star Draymond Green told ClutchPoints.

Green was still excited about his alma mater Michigan State defeating Michigan in football Saturday. So that energy carried over to the game and his postgame interview. Covered in Michigan State University attire, he answered a question about Harden shooting 24-of-24 from the free-throw line against the San Antonio Spurs in 2019.

“James (Harden) is one of the best at it. You know, at driving and drawing fouls…When you got a guy that shifty, and the moment you touch them, they can hook you, and you get called for a foul, it's impossible to guard. You started to see a lot of guys master it, but they all learn from James for sure because he was the master before anybody else ever picked it up,” Green expressed to the media.

Good defenders like the Warriors veteran all over the NBA are delighted with the rule change. It was the first rule in a while that helped them. The league has catered offensive players for years. It started to make defense a lost art. But this rule is bringing defense back, and the game is looking better than ever.
