OKC Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has quickly become the new face of the NBA and an easy hero to root for.
He speaks with poise, says all the right things in interviews, keeps a consistent temperament on the court, and generally doesn't give fans much reason for hate.
With every hero, however, comes villains waiting in the wings.
The latest was notorious NBA instigator, Draymond Green.
Green was up to his usual antics during their Tuesday night face-off, barking at refs and playing bully ball. In the first half, he got called for a blunt-force foul on a Jalen Williams breakaway layup.
