Draymond Green is going to leave a powerful legacy in this league, not just with his versatile defense and boisterous personality, but how referees officiate the game.
For years now, players have been flailing limbs after shot attempts to try to draw contact. Green isn’t unique in this regard. Reggie Miller was famous for doing this, and it’s really just a process players have undergone to try to help their teams gain an extra edge.
The action was highlighted these past playoffs when Green kicked Steven Adams in the groin during the Western Conference Finals.
Replays didn’t prove any intention on Green’s part, but it’s certainly a reckless action that needs to be curtailed.
