Draymond Green reveals unexpected reason for altercation with fan during Warriors vs. Pelicans game

Draymond Green has always been outspoken, and it’s no surprise that he hosts a podcast to speak his mind on various topics. Following the game between the Golden State Warriors and the New Orleans Pelicans, Green took the opportunity to share his perspective on a notable encounter with a fan in the stands.

After the game, Green addressed the media concerning the incident with the fan. “He just kept calling me a woman,” Green explained to reporters. “It was a good joke at first, but he can’t keep calling me a woman.”

Initially, Green perceived the comment as a joke, but it quickly lost its humor. As the fan’s remarks intensified, the situation escalated slightly, prompting Green to confront him about the repeated comments.

“He was talking a lot at first, but when I got closer, he didn’t say much,” Green reflected on the encounter. Fortunately, the situation defused as the fan chose to refrain from further comments.

What was the fan saying to Green?

According to Green, the fan was comparing him to Angel Reese, a player in the WNBA, noting his lack of shot attempts despite collecting several rebounds. While Green didn’t initially find the comment insulting, he reiterated that repeatedly being called a woman shouldn’t be considered an insult either.
