The Golden State Warriors didn’t have the best of seasons in 2023. Despite winning the NBA title just one year prior, the Stephen Curry-led side crashed out of the 2023 playoffs against LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers. Following their heartbreaking loss, Jordan Poole and Draymond Green faced most of the flak because of their underwhelming performances. Although Green has been the media scapegoat for quite some time, the four-time NBA champion recently made an honest confession.

Green conducted the live edition of his popular podcast, ‘The Draymond Green Show’, with Atlanta Hawks star Trae Young. During a segment on the show, Green touched upon living like a ‘villain’.

Draymond Green confesses to being a ‘villain’

Warriors legend Draymond Green doesn’t shy away from giving some of the most outrageous claims in the NBA world. In fact, during his show, he might have triggered an entire fanbase.

He called the New York Knicks fans “f***ing delusional and miserable”. Interestingly, he mentioned this while talking to Trae Young, who is one of the most hated players by the Knicks.

Similar to Young, Green has faced hostility from multiple NBA fanbases. He talked about being the poster boy of the ‘villian’ agenda forwarded by the media and NBA fans. 

Green said, “I’ll be the first to say it, being a villian, it sucks, its no fun. When its up against you, you either fall or stand up against it.”

Green having recently signed a $100 million four-year extension is not particularly a fan favorite on his own team. Despite being an integral part along side Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, the 4-time NBA All-Star’s performances in the past few seasons have invited a lot of hate.

NBA superstars are some of the most famous names in the world. As a result, they have massive social media followings and this naturally invites a lot of hate as well.

A recent report revealed that Green is one of the hated players in the league. Dillion Brooks, Ja Morant and LeBron James have been subjected to the most hate on social media platforms.
