Draymond Green questions Bill Simmons’ voting eligibility after his ‘F--k Jalen Green’ comment

A day after former NBA players Gilbert Arenas and Ryan Hollins blasted Bill Simmons for his “F--k Jalen Green” comments, Draymond Green has chimed in, questioning why The Ringer founder is allowed to vote on the NBA’s postseason awards.

Simmons made the remark on his podcast earlier this month when he was explaining why he voted for the Pelicans’ Herb Jones over the Rockets’ Jalen Green on the All-Rookie Team. After saying, “F--k Jalen Green,” Simmons said he picked Jones over Green, because “I like winning players, I’m sorry.” Jones and the Pelicans went 36-46 and currently are battling the top-seeded Phoenix Suns in their first-round playoff series.
