Former NBA player and current analyst Draymond Green found himself in hot water after his comments on Game 2 between the Minnesota Timberwolves and Dallas Mavericks. Green, who was covering the game for NBA on TNT, criticized Rudy Gobert for allowing Luka Doncic to score a game-winning shot over him.
Green’s remarks drew backlash from Phoenix Suns announcer Eddie Johnson, who called out Green for letting his personal feelings towards Gobert cloud his professionalism as an analyst. Johnson pointed out that Green’s jealousy of Gobert’s four Defensive Player of the Year awards compared to Green’s one should not affect his analysis of the game.
The feud between Green and Gobert is nothing new, as the two players have had issues for years. Green seemed to take pleasure in watching Doncic embarrass Gobert on a national stage, further fueling the fire between the two.
It remains to be seen if Green will adjust his approach to analyzing games, but knowing his fiery personality, he will likely continue to share his unfiltered opinions. As the NBA playoffs continue, fans can expect more drama and heated exchanges both on and off the court.
