In an interview with ESPN’s Malika Andrews, Joe Dumars, the NBA’s head of basketball operations, revealedDraymond Green for Game 3 of the Western Conference first-round series on Thursday was three-fold. The act itself, Green’s behavior afterward — “conduct detrimental” he called it — and that he’s a repeat offender.
People really think this is a courtroom, huh? All the soapboxing, character judgments and pearl clutching. People citing previous cases and exhibits of evidence. Even Dumars’ language — “repeat offender” and “conduct detrimental” — is legal jargon. Green is for sure being convicted by the court of public opinion. He is hardly the humble and polite defendant.
“He’s a force. The guy’s a force,” Myers said. “But he will tell you that he’s made mistakes. Can’t hide from them. They’re out there for everybody to see. He’s got a good heart. He does. I know that. But that doesn’t mean he’s mistake-free. I’m not. Nobody is. … Complicated guy, for sure.” “Again, it’s not anything that we can control,” Steve Kerr said. “Draymond is incredibly competitive and passionate and fiery, and he’s helped us win four championships. I’ve said it many times, we don’t have a single championship here without Draymond Green. And that’s the truth. So he’s crossed the line over the years, and that’s part of it. We will go to bat for Draymond and go to battle with him every day of the week.
