Football is an aggressive game, but not as aggressive as it was back in the day. But did you know the NBA was aggressive, too? Draymond Green’s 180 slap to Jusuf Nurkic is doing numbers online. The Phoenix Suns and the Golden State Warriors are going at it in a neck-to-neck game, and Green’s shenanigans have spurred some controversies on the internet, and somehow, it reminds fans of DK Metcalf.

Dov Kleiman shared a snippet of what went down in the game, and the video takes a funny jab at the NFL. It is safe to say that no one is slapping each other in the NFL; instead, they are much more intense and physical down the field. Talking about physical, Metcalf is nearly unstoppable, just like Draymond Green in this video.

The dramatic video looks like a terrible attempt at flopping and taking a jab at the Suns player. We can see the PF posted up against Nurkic when suddenly he starts limping, loses his balance, does a 180 spin with his arms wide out, and ends up slapping the Suns’ center. The video looks funny on all counts as Nurkic decides to flop it and gets down on the ground, appearing to have taken a hit.

Kleiman made the video more interesting with a caption, “Draymond Green is out of control 😑Which NFL player does he remind you?” Of course, the fans had to answer the question, and people didn’t back off.

DK Metcalf with a big hit

The Seahawks’ WR lost his composure in the game against the Rams when he shoved CB Akhello Witherspoon to the ground for no apparent reason. The video from Ari Meirov shows Metcalf pushing Witherspoon when the ball wasn’t even nearly close to him. He was fined $10,927 for this unsportsmanlike behavior. Witherspoon didn’t return to the field for the remainder of the game.

Apparently, Metcalf has quite a history of lashing out mid-game. In the 2021 game against the Packers, he was ejected after he got into a physical altercation with DB Henry Black. Push turned to shove, and before people knew it, it was hard to control Metcalf from lashing out.

Basketball has stuck with me ever since I was a kid. I remember watching Kobe Bryant sometime in 2008 and being blown away. Like every kid my age, I was utterly taken aback by his moves and abilities as an athlete.
