Draymond Green has never been one to bite his tongue. The outspoken, do-everything Golden State Warriors forward can always be counted on to relay what's on his mind.

Recently, Green has become involved with the non-profit RISE (the Ross Initiative in Sports for Equality), an alliance of sports and professional figures aimed at improving race relations. Green wore shoes with the phrase “sideline racism” on them in Golden State's rematch against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Martin Luther King Jr. Day after donning RISE-inspired shoes in December. He also sold T-shirts, sweatshirts and mugs bearing the “sideline racism” phrase to help generate funds for the non-profit.
