Draymond Green is known for a bunch of good things on the basketball court. He’s the most versatile defender in the NBA, his playmaking ability is unique, and he’s viewed as the heart and soul of the Golden State Warriors. Green is also known for one very bad thing: The dude cannot stop wildly flailing around and kicking opponents.
This has popped up a few times during his career, and Green has responded to it by saying he cannot control what his body does in situations like this. It’s a strange thing that only seems to happen with any type of frequency to Green.
We had another incident like this with Green on Saturday night against New Orleans. The Warriors’ star went to secure a rebound over DeMarcus Cousins, and his right arm came down and smacked Cousins right across his grill.

Unlike the incidents with his legs going all over the place, this actually seems like it could have been an accident. But due to his history with these sorts of things, it’s kind of hard to give Green the benefit of the doubt in these situations.
Both Green and Cousins managed to stay in the game after this, and because neither guy is known for giving an inch, they had a few more run-ins throughout the course of the first half.

With how physical the two players are, any Cousins and Green matchup is going to be really entertaining. Saturday night is no different.
