Draymond Green’s five craziest flagrant fouls

It’s no secret at this point that Draymond Green has earned himself quite a reputation around the league. Yes, there have been several players over the history of the NBA that are known for being “dirty” and he’s not the only one, but he may be the first to be known as the “kicker” of the league.

Green has earned himself numerous technicals, flagrant fouls and suspensions over the last couple of seasons due to his dirty play, none more costly than last year’s Game 5 suspension in the Finals. Yes, basketball is a physical sport, but have we ever seen a player kick his leg up like that, and still continue to say it’s a “natural body movement.” He’s also defended his physical play by recently posting pictures of the “Bad Boy” Pistons, who earned that nickname with their intense physicality in the 80s and 90s.

Still, Coach Steve Kerr is not buying it, who acknowledged Green’s dirty plays as of late and adding that he’s definitely “under the microscope.” Unless Draymond Green wants to achieve a long-term suspension from the league, he’s going to have to kick the habit, pun intended. Here’s a look back at Green’s five craziest flagrant fouls.
