OT: Draymond Green's Legs Get "Flaily" Again

Submitted by The Victors on

I believe we all remember Draymond Green's superb ninja skills from last season's playoffs against the Oklahoma City Thunder when he "accidentally" kicked Steven Adams in the man-parts region.

Well, his ninja skills came back in full force last night in an epic double-overtime game against the Houston Rockets:

I must say, Draymond must be doing his stretches because he got some serious height on that leg kick.

He can be frustrated all he wants, but it is absolutely not natural to have 1 leg do that regardless of the contact and foul (which was called on Harden).

Here's another article and video:

The leg kick was obviously unnatural and doing that in such an awkward position is only asking for him to sustain a knee or ankle injury on the way down.

Who will kick people like a bratty child? SPARTANS WILL

Take any NBA game you want and watch it all the way through and show me even ONE oher player who kicks outward like that following a shot, rebound, time out, ect.  

There's one dude in the NBA who repeatidly kicks other players (accidently of course) and that's Draymond Green.  The good news is that the officials are now on to his act so he cant get away with it anymore.

It's certainly not accidental. Do I think Draymond purposely kicked Harden in the face? No. That would be giving too much credit to Green for his incredible accuracy.

HOWEVA, that is anything but a natural move. I do believe he purposely threw his leg up high, and when you do that, you're asking for a flagrant if there's any type of contact with another player. This is not a common occurence in any basketball game... except, apparently, the ones Green plays in.

One of these days, a player is going to turn around and punch him in the face for that. And that man will be a hero worthy of a parade.

Also, this is why I wish hockey's love of fighting would transfer to other spots.  Try and cheap shot people in hockey?  Someone is going to pound you for it, the refs will let you fight, tell you to go sit in a corner for a bit, and then everyone carries on.

Never liked Green. He seemed like a guy who talk his hatred for Michigan way too seriously. Even for a Sparty. 

He seems like the kind of person who would be driving down the street, and if he saw someone crossing the intersection that happened to be wearing a Michigan shirt, he would try to run them over. We can laugh about Sparty not liking us all we want, but he strikes me as someone who would actually try to hurt you for it.

It really doesn't even matter if it's "natural" for his leg to do that or not.  What Dray-Dray doesn't seem to understand is that intent doesn't matter at all.  Kick a guy in the head, it's a flagrant.

... I think he's a huge douche and I think many of the things he's done in the past have been intentional. This was not intentional, IMO, nor that flagrant. The only reason I'm upset by it is because it puts this douche in the news again. THe more I have to hear his dumbass, the more annoyed I am.

I would argue he knew what he was doing.  Maybe not trying to kick him in the face, but kick him somewhere, his face just happened to get in the way.  Because after the refs blew the whistle you can see him throw his arms up like, "what was that?"  To me, that's a guy trying to cover up what he just did.

For anyone who has any sense of belief that this is unintentional.  It's a thing he does.  A lot of it is because he's beinga  baby - someone makes a play on him, he gets had, he lashes out.

Of the 7 how many did he get tech fouls for? Also the thing with the football player last year, that got a kid cut from his program and an SID fired. Guy is a huge tool.
