Draymond Green calls out ESPN via Instagram comment

Draymond Green has called out ESPN after it posted a snippet of his post-game interview following the Golden State Warriors‘ loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Sunday. Green had said he “don’t give a damn about the (Houston) Rockets” when discussing the Western Conference standings.

Shortly after his interview had concluded, ESPN posted a graphic on Instagram with Green’s quote as the lede. However, the veteran forward appeared to take issue with the post. He questioned why the rest of his quote had been omitted, noting how he should be getting paid by the company.

“Why yall ain’t post the video of the whole conversation? Y’all should pay me for the amount of clickbait y’all post,” Green commented.

Since returning from his indefinite suspension earlier this season, Green has been a vital member of Steve Kerr‘s rotation. He has found a good balance between being the Warriors’ enforcer and agitator and leading by example. As such, his comments about the Rockets were unlikely to have been meant in an inflammatory way but rather as a ‘control what we can control’ type of message.
