Golden State Warriors superstar Draymond Green is not the type of player who will listen to trash talk quietly. Recently, when the Warriors took on the Milwaukee Bucks, Stephen Curry made two quickfire free throws. Following this superb play, a fan apparently hurled some words directed at Green. The four-time NBA champion subsequently requested the officials that the fan be ejected. Later on, Green revealed that the fan had shouted some life-‘threatening’ words at him.

Unlike a few days ago, when he got directly involved with a fan, Green took a different approach. Interestingly enough, his antics a few days ago had cost him a lot of money and he was smart enough to not make the same mistake again.

He later said, “Some threatening stuff to my life. So, you know. I was this close to really going back and diving all the way in, but kind of just went back and told the official.” The official had the fan ejected from the game immediately. 

A few days ago, Green had a verbal altercation with a fan during a game against the Dallas Mavericks. Instead of consulting the official, the former Defensive Player of the Year told the fan to “shut up.” This resulted in a $25,000 fine for Green.

How has Green started off his season?
