Draymond Green Uses Nuggets Star To Call Out Unfair NBA Treatment
Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray received a lot of criticism after he threw a heating pad from the end of the bench onto the court in Game 2 of the Western Conference Semifinals against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Adam Silver and the NBA decided that a fine of $100,000 instead of a suspension was appropriate in response to Murray's actions.
Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green did not feel he would have received the same treatment as Murray did. Due to his history, Green probably would have been punished more.
On The Big Podcast With Shaq, Green predicted what his punishment would have been if he did what Murray did.

"I would have gotten suspended for the rest of the playoffs, for sure," Green said.
The full interview with Shaq was posted online on social media.
