A couple of nights ago, Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green starred in yet another back-and-forth with a fan. This time, however, the four-time NBA champion kept his cool and just got the fan ejected.
When asked about it, Green claimed that the Bucks supporter said āsome threatening things to his life,ā and went on a wholetwo-minute rant about how fans should be held accountable for their behavior.
Thatās why Mike Shane, the said fan and a localR&B singer, went on record to clarify what he actually told Green. Surprisingly, it had nothing to do with threats, and he didnāt even insult him or mocked him.
NBA News: Bucks Fan Reveals What He Told Draymond Green
āI was speaking up for the city of Milwaukee,ā Shane said, per TMZ. āBasically telling him, like, weāre giving you a pass [for punching Milwaukee native Jordan Poole]. We havenāt forgotten about what you did ā a big bully ā and weāre giving you a pass. We forgive you.ā
āThere was two police officers who were actually right there,ā Shane added. āThere was a police officer and the league security who came back there and vouched for me. They were right there and said I didnāt use any profanity, I didnāt say anything malicious.ā
Eventually, the Bucks refunded Shaneās money for the tickets and offered him tickets for a game in the future. So, it seems like Greenās story on those death threats doesnāt add up and he just couldnāt handle the heat.
Green Wants Legislators To Get Involved
Fans heckling and insulting NBA players has become a worrisome trend, with one even throwing stuff at Kyrie Irving and Russell Westbrook. So, Green urged legislators to get involved and solve this issue:
āThere are no real consequences,ā Green said.āYeah, you canāt come back to the game, or even if you get arrested, nothing really happens; you just hope it gets to a point where these leagues can work with legislators to implement laws, because thatās the only thing thatās really going to correct the issue.ā
But then again, where do we draw the line here? Green got a fan ejected because he reminded him of how he let his teammates down by punching Jordan Poole. He was the one who crossed the line.
