Draymond Green has gotten himself a rep in the NBA as someone who lets his legs fly free.
It gets him into trouble sometimes as he’s been fined and suspended for kicking people, but that doesn’t mean he’ll take it easy on anyone else for their questionable tactics in the NBA. Specifically, he called out Kelly Olynyk for his style of play.
Recently, Olynyk got into a scuffle with Kelly Oubre who leveled him after being on the receiving end of a question Olynyk screen.
Now, on his podcast for Uninterrupted, he said he has no respect for Kelly Oylynk.
“That was crazy. Kelly Oubre got suspended for Kelly Olynyk flopping. That man took a charge on a push. Like, come on bro. Kelly Oubre hit Monty McCutcheon harder than he hit Olynyk! … And Kelly Olynyk is a dirty player man. You do little stuff dirty and then you want to take a charge. Oubre ain’t hit him that hard, nor should have been suspended. Y’all already kicked him out the game, so essentially he’s getting game and a half suspension for that?…
Olynyk caught him in the face or neck with a couple of elbows. And that’s what I don’t understand. You let people get away with stuff and then finally when somebody react you penalize that guy. But you’re not going to penalize him for continuing to elbow this guy in the face? I don’t get that. He’s dirty. Dirty player. I don’t respect guys like that and I know he’s not like the greatest basketball player of all time so maybe he feel like he’s gotta like do that. Just dirty. I don’t respect that, man. He’s dirty.”
To his credit, Green has never injured somebody, and they reference the time when he injured Kevin Love two seasons ago. Still, Green probably isn’t the most innocent player in the league.
You know what they always say, takes one to know one!
