Warriors star Draymond Green: I’m not an angry Black man

After a Game 2 defeat in which Green received his 5^th technical foul of the postseason, the Warriors leader Draymond Green shared his frustration over what he called an “agenda” that shows him as an “angry Black man.”

Draymond was fouled by the Wolves’ Naz Reid while holding the ball at the beginning of the 2^nd quarter of Minnesota’s 99-80 victory. After being fouled, Golden State star flailed his left arm at Reid’s head, and Reid fell to the floor. Naz received a personal foul, but Draymond was assessed a dead-ball technical foul after review. Green is 2 technical fouls short of being banned for 1 match.

After the match, Draymond shared his opinion about that with the media as he claimed there is “agenda” against him.

“They try to portray me as the angry Black man,” the Warriors star shared after the defeat. “But that’s not the case as a very successful, educated Black man with a fantastic family, and I’m one of the best players in the NBA.”
