Izzo says Draymond Green would fight Godzilla

Tom Izzo held a news conference Tuesday to talk about his selection into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, but the Michigan State head coach happily spent most of his time chatting about Draymond Green.

“He’d fight Godzilla,” Izzo said. “It doesn’t matter who it is, where it is or what it is.”

Green completed his progression from a second-round pick to an All-Star this season, but he probably got even more attention for a tirade in February.

During a profane temper tantrum at halftime of the Warriors’ 121-118 overtime victory against Oklahoma City, the vociferous forward yelled at the coaches for treating him like a robot.
