"Only Time I See His Name, He's Fighting Someone": NBA Fans React as Angry Draymond Green's Frustration Boils Over, Gets Slapped With Tech

Draymond Green was called for an early technical foul in the Golden State Warriors' game against the Brooklyn Nets on Monday night. NBA fans on social media have had it with Green, who has continued to show his frustration over the past couple of weeks.

Just three minutes into the game, Green pushed Nic Claxton to the ground and was whistled for a technical foul. Claxton sold the shove, but it helped the Nets put the former Defensive Player of the Year on ice. One more technical, and he's going to be ejected from the game.

Green was tossed less than two weeks ago against the Phoenix Suns after pushing Collin Gillespie and getting into an argument with officials. He then walked away from the Warriors in the following game versus the Orlando Magic after getting into a heated argument with coach Steve Kerr.

NBA fans have reached their limits with Draymond Green and his antics. Some are used to it by now, especially Golden State Warriors fans, but his frustration has been boiling over for months now.

Here are some of the comments on X, formerly known as Twitter.

Draymond Green ended up keeping his cool for the rest of the game. But he was in foul trouble, so he only managed to play 25 minutes in the Golden State Warriors' 120-107 win. He finished with seven points, five rebounds and three assists.

The Warriors improved to 17-16 for the season. They will finish their road trip on New Year's Eve against the Charlotte Hornets.

After his ejection, confrontation with Steve Kerr and Monday's technical foul, Draymond Green keeps making the headlines for the wrong reasons. Green doubled down on the latest episode of his podcast after saying that he doesn't like playing on Christmas.

"Playing on Christmas Day also f**king sucks," Green said, according to BasketNews. "And the reason it sucks is, number one, what I just said, it can affect your mood. Number two, we are human beings and, just like everyone else, enjoy Christmas Day with our families. That kinda gets messed up for us."

While his remarks were clipped, Green did acknowledge that it was an honor to play on Christmas when there are a lot of people watching. But it seemed like he preferred spending time with his family. It should be noted that he has played 11 games on Dec. 25 in his career.
