“The thing that bothered me the most, like, yo, man, Steph had, like, ‘We already short-handed, and you still are. They called it flagrant. They called it technical. Let it go’”, said Charles Barkley after Game 2 of the Warriors-Timberwolves series. The NBA legend’s frustration stemmed from the same fact that many Warriors fans have to shake their heads from time to time. After all, Draymond Green once again went physical in the matchup by striking Naz Reid on the neck in the 2nd quarter.
After a flagrant foul was called, Draymond Green started yelling at the officials and needed Steph Curry, who’s out with a hamstring strain, to help corral him back to the bench. At a time when the situation did not need to get worse, the power forward was going out of his way to do that. However, from his viewpoint, Green was simply complaining about some alleged bias towards him.
The Athletic’s Anthony Slater recently published a clip from Draymond Green’s postgame Q&A session on his feed. The same highlighted the veteran speculating that the referees were only targeting him, allegedly because of his skin color, and the alleged stereotype that came with it. This led him to say, “Look like the angry black man. I’m not an angry black man, and I’m a very successful, educated black man with a great family. And I’m great at basketball. I’m great at what I do. The agenda to continue to keep making me look like an angry black man is crazy. I’m sick of it. It’s ridiculous.”
