“Draymond Green Drops Truth Bomb on Grizzlies Fans!
Warriors forward Draymond Green is no stranger to boos from Memphis Grizzlies fans.
So when he was met with a chorus of them in his return from suspension on Monday at FedExForum, it wasn’t anything new.
It was, however, a bit comical to Green for a very specific reason, as he explained on the latest episode of “The Draymond Green Show.”
“It also felt good to boo the crowd back because they were booing like always in Memphis,” Green said. “Which is quite crazy that the Memphis fans hate me so much, being that they wanted me in free agency. Would have been really funny if I ended up in Memphis. I just wonder what the reception would have been if I actually ended up in Memphis.”
Green made his first foray into NBA free agency this past offseason, but he ultimately returned to the team that drafted him when he signed a four-year, $100 million Warriors contract at the end of June. And while the Golden State veteran has said in the past he fielded more lucrative offers from other teams, it looks like Memphis was in the running, too.
And in Green’s eyes, it would have been quite the comical situation if he ended up in a city where a majority of fans dislike him.
