Ex-Warriors star Kwame Brown urges Draymond Green to consider changing his career if he is really leaning toward fighting

“Go Break Your Knuckles Up”: Warriors Legend Urges $2,547,662 Fined Draymond Green To Change Career Path

Two ejections and one suspension this season, and Draymond Green [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/draymond-green/] still thought this wasn’t enough; he went ahead and got himself another ejection and suspension. Last month, hotheaded DrayMagic was ejected from a game vs the Timberwolves [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/minnesota-timberwolves/] for holding Rudy Gobert [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/rudy-gobert/] in a headlock. Following the ejection, he was suspended for five straight games. Fast forward to Wednesday, Draymond lost his cool again and took a big swing at the Suns [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/phoenix-suns/]‘s center, Jusuf Nurkic’s face, knocking him to the ground. He was immediately ejected from the game and later the league served him an “indefinite suspension.” In light of Draymond’s history with violence on the court, the former player, Kwame Brown, has an interesting piece of advice for him. BROWN WANTS DRAYMOND TO MAKE MONEY INSTEAD OF LOSING IT Hosting his Kwame Brown Bust Life podcast, the 41-year-old suggests that Draymond should consider changing his career as he seems hell-bent on fighting so often. Instead of fighting on the court and losing money, Brown says, Dray should find an avenue where he can make money out of it. The highlight of Brown’s advice, however, has to be this: “Or if you got it on your chest that bad after the game meet by the bus then you go break your knuckles up,” he sums it up for Draymond in a hilarious way. Referring to a previous fight, he says, “Why not set it up and make some money out of it just tell Gobert ‘I want to whip your ass’ and then see if he’ll go to the little fighting league with you and then y’all make money for fighting instead of losing money for fighting.” The former Warriors star looks like he has had enough of Dray’s shenanigans, as he tells Dray if he truly wants to fight, he should go to a gym, and cut out the “monkey s***” on the court “which causes you and that other person that engage in the fight with you to lose money.” Speaking of losing money, Draymond’s elaborate history of violence has weighed heavy on his pockets over the years. DRAYMOND GREEN HAS LOST MORE THAN $2.5 MILLION IN FINES Throughout his career, Draymond Green has been ejected 20 times and suspended six times. All these come with consequences in terms of fines and suspensions without pay. In total, Draymond has lost a whopping $2,547,662 so far [https://www.spotrac.com/nba/golden-state-warriors/draymond-green-10860/fines/#:~:text=Draymond%20Green%20signed%20a%204,dead%20cap%20value%20of%20%2422%2C321%2C429] and unless he has learned a lesson this time, the numbers will only increase. Read More- Nation Demands “Gangster” Draymond Green to Get It Together [https://www.essentiallysports.com/nba-active-basketball-news-dub-nation-demands-gangster-draymond-green-to-get-it-together/] He is already under the NBA’s radar for the tendency of his repeated offenses as the league said about his most recent suspension. The league shared, “This outcome takes into account Green’s repeated history of unsportsmanlike acts.” Draymond will have to rebuild his rep once he comes back as he will have a lot to make up for, especially for his team, who are struggling. Do you think Draymond will have a redemption story or has he damaged his reputation beyond repair? Share your thoughts!
