Draymond Green Says Refs Treated Him Differently!
NBA star Draymond Green was recently featured in the podcast named Caffeine TV. During the conversation, Green asserted that he receives different treatment from the officials than other players. He claimed that they adhere to a set of \”Draymond Green guidelines\” when it came to him. Not only that, Green mentioned the instance when Evan Mobley kicked LeBron James in the head. He stated that it was not met with the same hatred when he punched James in the groin during the 2016 NBA Finals.

For Draymond Green, a standout for the Golden State Warriors, the 2016 NBA Playoffs were quite exciting. Of course, in the 2016 NBA Finals, Green and the Warriors notoriously let a 3-1 lead over LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers slip away. Green\’s involvement in a fight with James during Game 4 of the championship series resulted in him receiving a flagrant foul. This is because he accumulated blatant points, and the Warriors forward was punished for Game 5 of the series. To capture the first championship in their club\’s history, the Cavaliers won the fifth game of the series. They also rolled to victories in games six and seven.
Although many Warriors supporters would disagree, they will point out that Draymond Green\’s punishment at the time was justified because it might have lost the team the 2016 title. Green also believes that he should receive the same treatment from officials as all other players.
