Draymond Green’s response to the NBA media is startling in its truthfulness. The behavior of certain NBA fans during the playoffs was met with widespread condemnation from all NBA circles. In addition to the heinous instances of racial abuse towards players. A Boston Celtics “fan” threw a water bottle adjacent to Kyrie Irving. The water bottle would near-miss the Brooklyn Nets superstars head. This followed a New York Knicks fan spitting on Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young. Numerous other instances also occurred, causing a real problem within the NBA fanbase.
Alongside his criticism of the disgusting behavior shown by the NBA fans. Green subsequently attacked the NBA media for giving infamy to these individuals. Draymond’s comments stated the following during his appearance on “NBA on TNT.” Green’s criticism of the NBA media followed Kevin Durant’s call-out of Jay Williams.
“Not only is there no protection of players, but then you give all these guys face time. They’re on TNT, the same channel that we’re all on every day. They’re on ESPN, and they’re getting their five, 10, 15 seconds of fame. The only punishment is that they cannot come back to the game. Who f—ing cares!?

Let’s hope the current discourse amongst the NBA fanbase and the players doesn’t go further. Infamously, “The Malice at the Palace” incident brings back memories of fans raising hell.

[…] A fan spat on Trae Young at Madison Square Garden. Russell Westbrook had a bucket of popcorn dumped on him while leaving with an injury. The incident at Coors Field would have been another dark example of fans acting in despicable ways towards athletes. Luckily, it seems it was a misunderstanding in this case, and Lewis Brinson didn’t endure a racial slur after all. […]
