However, after the game, Green seemed to insinuate that he thinks there is an “agenda” against him that he is a “angry black man.”
“It seemed the angry black man. I am not an angry black man. I am a very successful and educated black man with a great family, and I am great in basketball and is excellent in what I do,” he said.
“The agenda to try to continue making me look like an angry black man is crazy. I’m fed up with it. It’s ridiculous.”
In the last season of the Warriors, Green admitted that he was “embarrassed” that “he put too much” during a game at home where they lost that they forced a game 7. He said he had “some sincere” with “people I trust” after that game.

Chief coach Steve Kerr said that Green’s actions that led to his technology are “habit.”
“It’s just a habit that has when someone is missing, and it’s intelligent,” Kerr said. “So I think he was reached and within reach, Draymond slipped and took out the foul. But he has the habit of shaking his arm to try to ensure that the referee sees him, and he made contact, and that is what led to technology.”
“It’s part of Draymond,” Kerr added. “It is the same thing that makes it a competitor and a winner, sometimes it puts it at the top, and we know it, and it is our work to try to help you stay balanced, stay composed. But the competition is so significant for him that it is occasionally passed through the line.”
