Draymond Green calls out NBA officials for double standards

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green.

Draymond Green had the announcers calling him a part of the Splash Triplets on Tuesday as he rained down five threes in Golden State’s 134-120 win over the Lakers.

However, he wasn’t in a pleasant mood after the game, as he called out the NBA’s referees for being biased with their officiating.

Green was irate about a play in the third quarter when the Lakers’ Austin Reaves drove to the basket for a layup. As seen below, Green got elbowed in the face by the Lakers guard and sold the no-call by staying on the floor for several seconds.

After being helped to his feet by Stephen Curry, a furious Green approached the referees and sought an explanation.

Due to Green’s history of getting ejected, Curry and several other teammates tried to calm him down. The Warriors even called a timeout to ensure Green wouldn’t bark his way out of yet another game.

After the game, Green let it rip on the officials.

Earlier in the presser, Green also revealed that the referee who didn’t call a foul on Reaves talked to him rudely when he sought an explanation. According to Green, even Curry noticed the referee’s demeanor and felt his teammate deserved better.

“He [Curry] heard how the referee talked to me, and he went immediately from [calming me down] to telling him, ‘Yo, you can’t talk to him like that.’ That’s the wackiest part about all this. You can speak to me however you want, but if I say something back, it’s a tech.”

With 21 career ejections, Green is just nine shy of surpassing Rasheed Wallace for the most in the 21st century.
