Draymond Green pounds water, bobs head to Cleveland hating him (Video)
By John Buhler
Golden State Warriors power forward Draymond Green takes all the Quicken Loans Arena boos in stride, as he pounds some bottled water on the sidelines.
When Quicken Loans Arena thought that Golden State Warriors power forward Draymond Green was ejected in Game 4, the Cleveland Cavaliers faithful was ecstatic. Green had received his second technical foul of the game in the third quarter…or so we thought.
As it turns out, the first technical foul called on Green was actually given to Golden State head coach Steve Kerr during that tipoff at mid-court. Well, the whole Green not getting ejected from Game 4 thing didn’t sit so well with Quicken Loans Arena.
The Cavaliers faithful booed Green and chanted mean things at him. Green took that sort of negativity in stride by pounding all the water in the world and nodding his head in approval. Take your boos and stay hydrated, the Draymond way.
Green embraces the hate. It’s all part of being the Warriors’ on-court enforcer. He really is his generation’s version of Basketball Hall of Famer Dennis Rodman. Both are elite defensively and definitely know how to stir up some controversy on and off the court.
Of course, Cleveland was going to boo him for getting away with getting ejected. What did you think was going to happen? Essentially this, but he pounded like a champ because hydration is key to being a champion.
