Draymond Green (35, Golden State Warriors), who is considered a "bad boy" and dirty player representing the NBA, suffered damage in the decision due to his reputation.
The Golden State Warriors (GSW) lost to the Houston Rockets 96-106 in the 2024-25 NBA regular league home game held at Chase Center in San Francisco, California on the 7th (Korea time). GSW failed to win six consecutive games and ranked sixth in the Western Conference (46-32).
Buddy Hield (20 points) and Brandon Poseyemski (19 points and 6 rebounds) played well in the game, but the team's ace Stephen Curry struggled with just three points. On the other hand, Houston won with even performances by Dylan Brooks (26 points), Jaylen Green (21 points), Alferen Sengun (19 points and 14 rebounds), and Amen Thamson (14 points and 6 rebounds).
The most shocking scene was the fact that "Curry of Heaven" was tied to just three points, but there was another controversial scene midway through the third quarter.
"Green is known as a frequently controversial player on the court, but in the third quarter of the day, there was a scene where his reputation was rather disadvantageous," U.S. media 메이저사이트 "Yahoo Sports" reported.
The scene pointed out by the media was the moment Greene elbowed Houston's Alferen Sengun in the face during a layup attempt during the third quarter. This was his fifth individual foul and the Flagrant 1 foul.
At the time, the judges judged the contact as unnecessary. However, chances are high that it was a misjudgment.
According to the media, "Green's elbow was a natural motion that could come out during the layup process, and although it could be a normal foul, flagrant 1 is an excessive decision." In other words, it is an analysis that Green's usual image influenced the decision.
In fact, it is interpreted that the referee declared the flagrant without hesitation when Sen covered his face and complained of pain in a situation where there was no problem.
Fans were divided over the scene. The U.S. media "Sports Illustrated" reported fans' reactions as follows.
One fan said, "It was a normal shooting, and Sen was clearly in the restricted area. This should be Sen's foul. But the name Draymond Green made it a flagrant foul."
Another fan questioned the decision, saying, "The referees reviewed it for five minutes and then deliberately hit the face."
On the other hand, there was also an opinion that the decision was the result of Green's own actions.
"Draymond Green is treated more leniently by referees than any other player in NBA history," one fan said, while another strongly criticized, "Green is a really dirty and vicious player. He knew exactly what he was doing."
Some fans simply said, "This is more than karma," pointing out that Green's usual behavior ended up returning to him.
In the end, Draymond Green's usual behavior seems to have affected the incident.
