Draymond Green is suspended until further notice after punching Jusuf Nurkic (Phoenix Suns) during an NBA match. Yet another slip-up which led the RMC Basket Time podcast to question the real level inside the Golden State Warriors.
He has not reappeared on an NBA floor since this incredible loss of composure. Major player of the Golden State Warriors for almost a decade, crowned NBA champion four times with the Californian franchise, Draymond Green is suspended until further notice (The Athletic journalist Shams Charania speaks of “at least three weeks” ) since his attack on Jusuf Nurkic.
On December 12, in the middle of a meeting between the Warriors and the Phoenix Suns, Green delivered a violent punch to the face of the Bosnian pivot. And the best defender of the year in 2017 is not his first attempt. A few weeks ago, he had already distinguished himself by grabbing Frenchman Rudy Gobert by the neck during a scuffle (five match suspension). Other examples since the start of his career (kick in the private parts of Steven Adams in 2016, trampling on the chest of Domantas Sabonis last April, etc.) have contributed to fueling his reputation as a dirty player.
Episode 171: Is this the end of Stephen Curry’s Warriors?
A weak element hidden by several unusual players?
But the latest slip-up inspired the RMC Basket Time podcast to ask a question: behind this big mouth of the NBA, is there in fact a weak basketball player, propelled to the top thanks to the extraordinary talent of players? like Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson?
“He’s a player whose highlights we’re going to remember: potatoes, stomps… and nothing else! There’s nothing to remember. Give me a positive action, I don’t know it,” says Sacha Allix, participant in this fiery Basket Time debate. An argument swept aside by Alexandre Herbinet, RMC Sport journalist. “If Draymond Green is useless, we will have to review a lot of things in the history of the NBA. Because if he was just worn by Curry, Durant and Thompson, what do we say about Dennis Rodman?”
“Draymond Green, concretely, he’s a guy who has a very high basketball IQ, says Fred Weis. He’s really not the player I like but this boy is capable of making passes, taking shots. rebounds, defending against the best player opposite… We need guys like that, we need guys who make the game more fluid!” So, Draymond Green, fraud or truly good basketball player?
