One of Green’s most recent dirty plays, which came at the expense of James Harden, in a double overtime loss to the Rockets. The play earned him a flagrant 1 foul, which leads to the opposing team having two free throws and the ball back, a play that obviously came at a crucial time and played a huge role in the Warriors’ winning streak ending.

When Green was asked about the foul after the game, he made his case for his “natural kicks” by referencing James Harden’s ability to draw fouls. “No offense to James Harden but I’ve never seen nobody up until James started doing it shoot layups like this (sweeps arm). That’s not really a natural act. That’s not a natural basketball play, either,” Green said via the San Jose Mercury News’ Anthony Slater.
