Through the years, Draymond Green has earned a reputation of being a no-nonsense type of individual who never backs down from anybody. Apparently, he may have found his match with Golden State Warriors teammate Jordan Poole.
The pair got into a heated exchange on the bench during Wednesday's bout against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Things appeared to have escalated to a point wherein Green had to be restrained by some of his Warriors teammates — including Stephen Curry (h/t TheWarriorsTalk on Twitter):
Things got heated between Draymond and Poole on the Warriors bench. Seemed like JP said something that didn’t sit well w/ Dray, Dray yelled at him. Short time later they both dapped each other up and and it was squashed. pic.twitter.com/Xy6yeynQuq

You can barely see Jordan Poole in the video and at this point, it looks like the third-year Warriors guard had already decided to distance himself from Green. For his part, however, Draymond was still clearly incensed and he obviously had quite a bit to say to Poole.
According to the report, Poole may have said something that Green didn't like. We don't know what was said, but it definitely triggered something in Draymond for him to react this way.
Why does this remind me of a certain incident involving Green and former Warriors teammate Kevin Durant? That infamous bust-up was much more intense, though, as we saw Green literally shouting at KD right to his face. The fallout from that verbal confrontation was also well documented.
It looks like Dray and Poole were able to quickly hash things out on Wednesday, however, so it doesn't sound like this is going to be the KD drama all over again.
