Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green’s mom is upset about her son being snubbed as a starter in the All-Star Game.
The NBA All-Star Game starters were announced on Thursday night, and there was plenty of discussions right away about which players were snubbed from starting.
Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green is one of those players that wasn’t voted in as a starter and many see him as the biggest snub on the season. Green has developed into one of the best forwards in basketball and without him on the floor, the Warriors aren’t as dynamic.
He’s elevated himself as the prototype for a stretch player in the league and many teams are trying to figure out how to get their own Green.
One of those that is outspoken about his snub is his mom, Mary Babers-Green. She took to Twitter to voice her displeasure with the fact that her son wasn’t voted in as a starter for the 2016 NBA All-Star Game.
"Uh oh, Draymond Green's mom isn't happy her baby got snubbed!"
There’s been plenty of people that haven’t been happy with the NBA All-Star Game voting process for years. The fan vote has highly been controversial and there has been plenty of times when fan favorites, like a Kobe Bryant, who aren’t having All-Star seasons get voted in as a result.
Green’s time is coming in this league and he will eventually get his run as a starter in the All-Star Game. His mom has a right to be upset and defend her son, because she isn’t the only one.
