Ex-Warriors Star Proposes “NBA Grudge Match” Between Draymond Green and Tristan Thompson: “I’m Buying That Ticket”

Draymond Green‘s behavioral issues on the court are not something new we are witnessing. Throughout his career, he has managed to craft a reputation laced with ejections and suspensions thanks to his hotheadedness. This season alone, DrayMagic has been ejected three times and suspended for two.
The first suspension was a result of holding the Wolves‘ center, Rudy Gobert, in a headlock. Nearly a month after receiving this five-game suspension, the league gave Dray an indefinite suspension after knocking the Suns‘ Jusuf Nurkić to the ground during a tussle for position. But this isn’t the first season we’re witnessing all of this. Dray’s history goes back to way beyond. One such incident is vividly spoken about even today. The on-court altercation between Tristan Thompson and Draymond Green. And Dray’s recent reactions led the Warriors legend Kwame Brown, revisit it for a rather hilarious observation.

Sharing his thoughts on his Kwame Brown Bust Life podcast, Brown is amused, to say the least; he finds it funny that Dray loses money for fighting “when he can go get paid millions of dollars for fighting,” in other combat sports. Brown goes on to suggest a redeeming match between Dray and Tristan Thompson. This scuffle dates back to five years ago.
“NBA Grudge match: Draymond Green versus Tristan Thompson yeah man I’m coming, I’m buying that ticket, I promise,” he continues, referring to the heated exchange between the two during Game 1 of the 2018 Finals, which resulted in Thompson getting ejected from the game.

Big man Brown is all for seeing Draymond fight someone and is even willing to pay money to see it go down. “I’ll go get a ticket to see Draymond Green fight somebody. Hell yeah, I’m going buy a ticket.” Nevertheless, there has to be more to the Draymond and Thompson fight match that Brown is talking about; let’s take a look at what really went down between the two.

What was the Draymond-Thompson beef about?
It was towards the last minutes of Game 1 in the 2018 NBA finals; the Warriors won the game against the Cavaliers in OT. However, in the final moments of the game, Thompson was ejected after committing a flagrant 2 foul against Dub Nation’s guard, Shaun Livingston. Draymond, who was rarely on good terms with Thompson, applauded at his ejection, in a way of taunting him.
